Computer fan making a noise the turbo fan when watching a movie or using google earth?

Question by white: Computer fan making a noise the turbo fan when watching a movie or using google earth?
Why is it the turbo fan makes a noise when watching a movie or using google earth ? What math calculations is there for that? It not like playing a 3-D game or video editing where you need big GPU.. A P2 with windows 95 can watch movies or use google earth.

Why is the turbo fan on for that? the computer should not get hot for that it is not 3-D game like doom 3 or video editing it is just watching a movie or using google earth .There is no rendering for that.

My 8 year old computer does not make any noise.

The fan has 3 setting a sleep mode ,normal mode and turbo mode. And that seems to me the case with computers built from 2005 to now.

Before in the past it just ran normal no sleep mode or turbo mode , but the computers before 2005 the fan was louder than todays fan.But alot of computers have turbo fan for 3D games or video editing .

if your fan is not plugged directly into your Power Supply, then i’m stumped.

If it is plugged into your Motherboard, Depending on how old it is, it could be assuming That it will need to cool down for more power to be processed through.

Can you please give more information please, How it is setup, Mainboard, etc.
