    yo..so im playing League of Legends and my comp fan kicks in like every 2 minutes....i noticed i lag sometimes. My comp fan kicks in even before i started playing the frickin addicting ass game. Is it my fan or my mother board or my video card? What should i do?

    You can have variable fans on any of the above depending on your hardware. your fan will adjust to an increased load on the processor it is designated to cool but if you are crossing performance thresholds on that game then that speaks to your machine.

    A fan causing lag? wat

    Sounds more like an overheating issue.

    Yeah. Its an overheating issue. You within the minimum or recommended specs? If you're not even meeting the minimum, no fan is big enough to keep your CPU or graphic card cooled. Wouldn't hurt yo hit it with some compressed air if you haven't in a while.

    if its the cpu fan = cpu is throttling, performance is hurting.
    if its the gpu fan = same .

    fans dont cause lag lol

    definitely be liberal with the canned air. i have a couple shaggy pets and that gets clogged up in no time.
