    is it normal when u OC and u play a game for a lil bit for a "fan" to increase inside of your laptop? i know this sounsd like common sense, i just want to make sure that the fan increasing its output is okay for my system (the temperature of GPU/CPU never goes above 65C)

    the fan will speed up when you increase its load. so as not to have it on full when there is no need. it is completely normal

    I tweak my fans too run a little more aggressively anyway. It keeps my temps below what they would be at a normal clock.
