My main rig sounds like a jet engine because the cpu fan is stuck on full blast for some reason(doesn't start that high, but won't go down after it gets there). So I have to turn it off every night or I can't sleep. I had it on 24/7 load before when it ran fine, never turned it off. I only restart for updates.
