When I boot into Bootcamp I hear my Mac Pro's fans ramp up, then if I play any games the fans ramp up even more until I stop playing.

Should this be so ?

Is this normal, or could it be caused by the Mac Pro Fan Control program I have running.

Should I just let the Mac Pro do it's own thing maybe and remove Fan
Control ?

I experience something similar on my macs. You have to keep in mind that macs are not as well optimised for running windows as a traditional pc would be. I would suggest that this is normal. You can remove your fan management system and see if this makes any difference, i think the MBP's own drivers should be good enough.
