    If your computer goes really loud when you go on RuneScape, what do you need to do?

    Probably just clean it out. Dust won't cause lag though, if that's what you have.



    Post more info though.

    It's not lag, but when I go on RuneScape, the fan goes really quick.

    Clean it out.

    Plenty of videos on youtube if you don't know how.

    Overheating causes the fans to spin faster to combat the increased temperature. Dust blocks air flow which causes heat to stay in the chassis, and requires more from the fans to keep your components cool.

    I don't think I will, super busy with uni, work and mod duties so no time for photoshop lately.

    Buy some compressed air, pop the side off the case and spray the dust off. The fans are adjusting to counter the heating up of the GPU/CPU.
