My GPU makes weird noises while The Sims 3 is running
Hi there.
I recently felt the need to play The Sims 3 again. I haven't played the game for 2 years. The first two days were just fine. On the third one, my GPU started making some high pitched noises and the fan went crazy.
Since then, I observed the temperatures of my PC via MSI Afterburner and the RPM of the GPU's fan via Radeon Overlay. The GPU was always being used at around 80%, the CPU just around 30%. The fan's RPM is going hardmode everytime I start the game. It increases up to 2150 RPM + and the temperature was always around 65°C. I stopped right there since I am not an expert and I would love keeping my PC for a few years longer.
I started changing the settings of the GPU but still no changes to the noise. I also recorded the noise which will be

My Specs are:
GPU: Radeon RX 580
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Six-Core Processor
If there are more things you need to help me, please let me know. The PC is running just fine, as long as I am not playing The Sims 3. Even other games are no problem to play.
Edit: Tried opening the game again to try out more and it just happened to work without giving my ears a tinnitus. Not sure what I actually did. I would still be glad if someone else had actually knowingly solved this problem and would be kind enough to share his/her/"Insert your own custom gender pronoun right here" to help me out here. Thanks
