So, I just upgraded my PC. I am now a proud owner of an I7 7700K, a Gigabyte GA-Z270-Gaming K3 and some delicious 3000mhz DDR4 ram (sadly only 8GB). However, I've got some problems with it.
The fans, especially the one at the top above the CPU cooler run with a very high RPM compared to what it used to, and it's happening randomly too. Sometimes I'll just be browsing on the internet, and randomly out of nowhere while I'm reading something, it'll speed up, and the temperature will rise too. It's very strange, and it never happened with my old stuff. I know the I7 7700K probably gets quite a bit hotter than my old FX 8350, but why would that make my fan go crazy when opening programs and browsing the internet?
When I play games, the sound is noticable too. I didn't remember hearing anything too noticable on my previous hardware. It's the worst when I'm loading things... I'll be playing a game like Arma 3, and in the load screen it'll be really loud, but then when in game, it'll just be humming. Opening programs like Discord and such makes it go crazy too. I've never experienced this before, so I'm pretty confused. There is no way, that it's supposed to work like this. There is also a beep when I boot up my PC, and I thought it was a beep code at first, but I think it's just the PC saying it works, since it's working fine besides the fans going crazy.
My temperature stays around 60-70 when playing games which is fine, but it can go up into the 60's randomly when browsing the internet. Any help would be very appreciated, as I really want it to work well. I've been having so many problems lately with getting parts and so on, so I just want it to work now. Anyway, cheers
Edit: I found the problem, and kind of made a temporary fix. It was the audio thingy (don't remember it's name) on my motherboard. I think it might be a feature, where it controls the fan automatically, like smart fan or something, and just the slightest bit of performance on the CPU will make it speed up by quite a lot. So... all I did was switch the fan to a less noisy fan. It still speeds up and all, but it's nowhere near as noisy now, and the temperature is fine too. So essentially the problem was with the fan itself. It almost sounded like a motor, so if anyone has the same problem, try switching the fans around. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. Going to leave the post open if anyone might have the same problem.
