I apologise in advance if this is the wrong category. My build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4bZPBZ I have been told that the cooling for my computer is overkill anyway, hence why I am even more confused as to why my PC gets extremely loud when opening Fortnite (and fortnite only). I believe it may be a software issue but I am unsure. I have checked my settings, I have vSync enabled and have checked the more obvious culprits but the problem isn't going away..I don't know what it could be anymore so any help or tips would be appreciated Thank you in advance.

You have a 120mm air cooler paired with a 105mm radiator, and your GPU isn't performing well.

Some problems are easily fixed with a u12s redux or pure rock 2, eliminating the need for an Aio. The 120mm Aio is usually found in SFF builds or basic prebuilds. You might have wasted money on it, but it should still work up to around 3600 unless you overclock. Using single-channel RAM is problematic—it can cut CPU performance by about 30%. This is even more noticeable with an IGPU, though you’re not using one. The case front panel feels tight for airflow but seems like a budget build. You could have purchased Windows 10 on sites like scdkey for around $20, saving money that could go to the board and RAM. PSU looks decent, but you’ll need an upgrade if you plan a more powerful GPU and CPU. A 3200G might cause bottlenecks with an RX 590; it’s a first build, so around 7.5/10. You probably don’t know much about computers yet and made some questionable choices, but those can be fixed. If temperatures stay normal, adjust the Aio’s fan curve so it only speeds up when the CPU hits 85°C. SpeedFan is a good tool for this.
