Fan Hyper-working

After the recent update, my iMac's fan always got very loud whenever I enter TS4. It would sometimes before, but now it cracks up all the time.
Would it damage the computer itself?

Hum, my computer is on a location with decent circulation. The fan does not ventilate as loud when I use other performance-heavy tasks (e.g., graphic designing), and it definitely did not before the October patch (well, it did ventilate louder in TS4 than other apps, but not as loud as it gets now).
But what iMac do you have? Specs?
iMac Retina 5K, late 2014 model
w/
Intel Core i5
8 gigs memory (DDR3)
AMD R9 M290X
Nice setup.
If you set your settings to a resolution of 1920x1080 (no retina, since it kills the performance easily), all the settings to the left, set them to high, and very high where possible.
On the right side, set edge smoothing to medium, the next two settings to High. The 1st and 3rd checkbox unchecked, and the middle one checked.
Try that. Those are the settings I am using on the 2015 5k iMac.
On a side note. The R9 M290X has so much performance, it actually gets throttled in performance, the fan inside the iMac is not able to spin fast enough to keep it cool, when it is performing at 100%. So after 5 min. or so, it will slow down. Sad fact, but fact
Many thanks again
