Aurora R10, loud when I'm gaming

<You replied to a 4 year old thread. Started your own thread. DELL-Admin>

I have an Alienware Aurora R10 I purchased in 2022. It is liquid cooled. Here is the link to it on Amazon. These are the specs:

Brand Alienware
Operating System Windows 11 Home
CPU Model AMD Ryzen 7
CPU Speed 4.6 GHz
Cache Size 36
Graphics Card Description RTX 3080
Graphics Coprocessor Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080

When i first got it, it ran quiet even when gaming. I really only play World of Warcraft and sometimes Guildwars. Now it gets very loud when I'm gaming. I have two monitors and what i find odd is when i toggle between the two (game on one, web browser on the other) the fan goes quiet when i click on the monitor with the web browser. When i click back to the monitor with game, it amps back up again.  Ive turned game graphics down but it doesnt seem to help. I dont know what has changed from when I got it to now, didnt really add anything new. And before you ask, yes i've opened and dusted several times. Can anyone help or offer suggestions? Thank you!

Open the side cover and see if you can determine which fan is making the noise . . . radiator fan, graphics card fans, or one of the case fans.
