Hi,
New first time build (for my son and I).
Gigabyte X570 Auros Elite Wifi mother board
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor
AMD Radeon Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT gpu
Fractal design Meshify C case
2 case fans, gpu fan, cpu fan, mother board fan
What's happening is the fans seem to be revving up for simple tasks. For example, if I browse Gigabyte's website and look up our mother board, scrolling down the long web page with the mother board's description, causes the fan to rev up significantly. If I stop scrolling, the fan stops.
This is our first gaming PC. My son and I aren't sure if this is just "the norm" for gaming PCs or something is wrong.
During our build, we swapped out our first mother board for a better one, and in the process we unseated the processor from the first board, and remove the cpu fan. When we re-attached to the new board, and the fan, we did not add thermal paste. We thought some thermal paste might have been lost during the remove/re-attachment process. Our CPU came out of the box with thermal paste already on, so we didn't add any the first time either. Not sure if this is related or not.
I think it's the GPU fan that's revving anyway, but I'm not sure.
Per the BIOS, temps seem to be normal (35-40) on the CPU and GPU. But I don't know what's happening to the temps when we boot into Windows 10 and the fans start revving when performing simple tasks.
Any suggestions or ways we can diagnose this?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
