So, I have a custom built PC. It runs most anything smoothly on even the highest settings, Civ V included. However, my PC's fans freak out when running the game. Take note, that this doesn't even occur when Skyrim is running for a while. I even have the case open to allow a big fan to blow into it, which generally allows it to stay quiet for whatever I'm doing.
The actual gameplay runs smoothly with running at fullscreen on 1920x1080 resolution. I'd play on a smaller resolution without fullscreen but the dragging becomes monotonous after a while. Below are my specs. Are there any settings I could run the game on, or just a few things I could tick off to allow a calm session to occur? Thanks.
OS: Windows 7
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.20 GHz
RAM: 8 GB's
Edit: Since the gameplay runs smoothly, I'd like suggestions other than simply turning everything on low. Also, for clarification I should note I'm playing on marathon with an earth sized map. I'm on about turn 300 or so.
