Ok so I've had an XPS 630i for little less than a year. It works, fine. I use it for games and the internet. But I'm just a little concerned. It seems a little louder than it was the first day i got it and first couple months etc. Its not very loud, almost like a 360, maybe a slight bit quiter than that, anything to be concerned about? or do all pc's get a little louder when they start to age just as consoles do? thanks for the help.

Yeah I think that's mostly normal but what video card do you have?

Dust could be accumulating within your PC, heating components and weakening your fans. As a result certain fans in your PC will increase their fan speed in an attempt to further cool the PC.

My 4870 is really loud as well. Whenever I play games, you're right.. sounds almost as bad as an xbox. It's a shame because the rest of my system fans are super quiet :)

I can't even hear a 360... My system is full of 110cfm fans :P
