I have this problem when i play diablo 3 and ONLY when i play diablo 3.. The problem is about my computer making this noise like it's a vacuum cleaner, and I think it might be because my CPU is overextending from loading all the different maps etc.

So i would like to ask if anyone else have had this problem and know if this can be fixed without buying new hardware? Like changing something in settings or something like that?

Let me know if you need any other information in order to help me out, thanks.

If this is something that didn't used to happen, but started happening, you need to clean our the inside of your computer, get a can of compressed air, make sure you clean out the videocard and its fan really well. What's happening is the cards getting too hot/working too hard and fan has to go on a higher speed, excessive dust/shit in there makes the fan less effective as the heat is harder to dissipate.

Do this soon, I burnt out a video card by ignoring this issue.

Lower your graphic settings in the settings options if your computer can't handle it.

Your fans are running on high because your PC is getting too hot. Unique is correct, try blowing it out.

It has always been like this when i played diablo 3, but never with games like cs go or League of legends..?

And if you still think i need to clean the inside, can it then be done with just a vacuum cleaner?

definately buy a can of air and clean out the inside , especially the fans

also how old is your computer?

do you have a back up program always running - cause it sounds like you're using your hard drive to much

so it might have to do with you have to much crap running and you're running out of ram and your computer is trying to use your hard drive for page filing.

Also some programs that you d/l from the internet - have programs that use up to many resources - so check to see what's running and figure out what is useless.
