Hey, I play World of Warcraft on my PowerBook G4 (15", October '05) and lately it seems like when I play something eventually starts buzzing. It sounds like someone using an electric razor in the other room. Also it seems warmer than usual. I think it's the graphics card because when I turn off the game it seems to slow down and shut up.
Is this something that I should have looked at, or am I just being incredibly paranoid? |

It sounds like it might be a fan.

It's a computer fan trying to cool off the insides of your computer. WoW kicks the CPU up to 100% the entire time you play, so the guts get hot.
Google is your frenemy. Caveat Emptor - Latin for tough titty I tend to interpret things in the way that's most hilarious to me |
