So I recently finally managed to assemble my new computer. Every part is brand new except for the powersupply which has no issues. This includes a new CPU fan as I guess Intel no longer includes stock fans with their CPU's anymore? Anyways, the gist of this all is that the CPU fan has been having problems with its RPM going to basically max speed when the CPU temp and load is fine.
For reference, here are my current specs:
CPU: Intel i7-10700K
CPU Fan: Coolermaster Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition (uses a 4 pin motherboard connection, not a 3 pin)
Motherboard: MSI 7590-A PRO
Video Card: GIGABYTE Vision GeForce RTX 3060
Memory: 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4-2133MHz
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
I thought I had originally fixed this problem. I had had this problem when I had first put the computer together and I THOUGHT I had fixed it by going into my BIOs and noticing that the motherboard had defined my CPU's fan as a Water-Cooled one with a much higher RPM, so I switched it back to a basic CPU fan and it seemed to work after that. Until last night. I've tried setting up a max RPM curve in my BIOs setting but it isn't working. Speedfan doesn't detect my CPU fan so I can't adjust it through that. And I'm 100% sure it's the CPU fan as I've disconnected it, booted up the computer, played some video games to test it, and no noise whatsoever. And also the case is completely clean with no dust
I'm not really sure what to do at this point. It doesn't seem like BIOs is actually obeying the settings I set it to and no post-boot Application is able to adjust my CPU fan speed. Oh, and of course, I made sure those BIO settings were saved before exiting.
Does anyone have any recommendations at this point? Could it be the CPU Fan I bought is just... bad? It was sort of an impulse buy as when I noticed my brand-new Intel CPU did not come with an actual CPU fan, I rushed over to BestBuy and just grabbed whatever they had.
