The fan is very loud when playing games on the Windows system.

After upgrading to Windows  last week, every time I play games, the computer fan makes a noticeable whining noise, which is loud and affects the experience. How can I reduce the fan speed or eliminate the noise?

    Clean the dust!

    Over time, dust bunnies clog the air vents and heatsinks. Use a can of compressed air to gently blow out the vents. Turn the laptop off first.
