@datboilizzy When I was installing my games, some installations made more noise than other but I don't think its anything to worry about. I think I can remember the discs getting a little toasty but I can't say for sure because it wasn't something I paid close attention to. I'd just say make sure that the areas around the vents are all clear.
It should just be the installation that makes the most noise. During gameplay it's quiet for me.
I also forgot to mention that the tower does shake during installation, and I know because I felt it; it also vibrates low but you can still feel it working. But you may be right. Just in case something goes wrong with the tower, it's a Dell Inspiron tower one of the newest ones. Just trying to get advice on how to prevent the system from overheating.
@datboilizzy I don't have a tower because I have a laptop and use an external disk drive but if it's any help I installed Sims 3 yesterday and it was quite noisy but I don't think it's anything to worry about. It's just working hard to read the disk.
I haven't used a tower in a while but I believe they have preventative methods to avoid overheating. I remember mine had ventilation issues and the whole thing would force-shut off if it got too hot to prevent any damage.
When you say shake, do you mean like you can see it moving from the vibrations or like it's actually shaking from side to side wobbling?
Also just ensure there is plenty of room around the ventilation vents so that there's plenty of space for air to come out and go in. Also check if the fans are clogged up with dust. If it is getting unusually hot, it may be worth checking.
