Hello, I'm having an issue. Everytime when I'm in a game or opening a large, strenuous program my CPU fan in the back of my computer runs loudly and it's very annoying. I checked my fan speed and I noticed that my fan runs around 95-100 Celsius when I'm in a game or running a large program. I have a NIVIDIA GEForce 9800 GT.
My questions are is it safe to run at 100 C and are there anyways I can decompress the loudness from my fan? Much appreciated.

first off, a fan doesn't run at Celsius, it runs at RPMs or revolutions per minute. second, it can be quite common for stock fans to run that much when playing a large game because stock fan coolers aren't ment for that. so if you wanna get into gaming, either get a much better fan and heatsink, or hop on the bandwagon and convert to liquid cooling. you'll be quite happy as it is much quieter then a heatsink with a fan on top and you'll experience the much lower temp values. While it is safe to have your fan run that fast, i would highly not recommend it so if possible, turn down graphics and such. anything CPU intensive.
When I used MSI Afterburner it says my GPU1 Tempature is roughly around 95-100 degrees Celsius. I want to know is it the fans themselves that make so much noise or do I need a better CPU chip or something? I'm not too keen on hardware.

Your GPU is overheating and it's unrelated to your CPU, you need to clean dust out of it with compressed air and/or remove the heatsink and clean it, and then put it back on with fresh thermal compound.
