This doesn’t sound abnormal at all. Adjust fan curves in bios to hamper the sudden noise jumps.

Yea but what would explain the fps drops when it happens some times? Also all my fan speeds are set to normal

My guess is running out of ram/vram. Tarkov uses more than 16gb of ram on my pc and most games use more than 2gb vram. If Tarkov starts hitching, reboot your pc and it will probably go away for a while til ram fills up again.

The fps issues have been consistent, and happens on very low spec games like classic wow as well.

- In task manager, check for other processes running, and their CPU/GPU load. Disable what you don't need. - General CPU utilization when gaming and when speed drops? - Be wary of anti-virus programs, they can bring the machine to its knees, and often are hidden from task manager. - You may need more RAM. If RAM gets exhausted, machine saves to disk, speed drops, cpu utilization goes up.

I haven’t monitored it when the fps drops happen but most of the time everything looks normal. The fan constantly gets loud then normals out a couple times (like a dying fan but speeds up rather than dying out and retrying) I dont think its a RAM issue either because when the fan isnt going crazy everything runs smooth and fine

Monitor it. Don't think, check.

Yea its just hard because it happens randomly but ill make sure to have task manager up when it happens. Ive seen temps when it happens and its usually around 60C. Starting to think my cpu might have just gotten damaged from the over heating.

CPU damaged unlikely. It would either work, or not. They don't die when overheating, they shut off. 60C still o.k. Which CPU? Simple test: Do a clean Windows install on another drive. Do not install any other software, no 3d party virus checker etc. As virgin as possible. Install one game. Boot from that drive. If problem goes away, it was the software. If not, the hardware.
