I recently bought the desktop above and my only complaint is the thermals and noise. The fans are quiet when in idle but after running a game for a couple of minutes I can hear them quite easily. Another issue, when running games like overwatch or rainbow six, gpu temperatures get around 82 degrees Celsius. Is this normal and is there any way to make the pc quiet while in game?

Hey there,
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, the problem still persists.
I have reason to believe it is the GPU that is causing the problem.
I did update the chipset but the BIOS was updated with a newer version and refused to update it.
Please let me know if there are any other solutions to this problem.
Thanks
