I built a new rig early last week, everything seems to be working very well but the CPU fan, which is the stock cooler that comes with the Ryzen 3700x has an annoying tendency to spin up loudly for seemingly no reason. For example, right now the PC is idle, the CPU is idling around 34C-37C and the CPU cooling fan is getting loud for maybe 5 seconds, then quiets a bit, then gets loud, then quiets a bit. Is this a potential problem with the motherboard? That's what I'm afraid of.
I never updated the BIOS because I read it's both difficult and can cause problems. I'd like to avoid that if possible.
When I play games (so far only VR games) it stays loud pretty consistently and doesnt change much until I exit the game.
Now I dont actually mind the change in noise, it only annoys me because it worries me. If this isn't a problem, I'll happily ignore the sound.
Why might a CPU randomly get loud, then quiet, then loud, then quiet while under next to no load and idling?
Thank you.
