Hey guys so for the live of me I cannot get my wraith prism cooler to shut up. It's because quite a nuisance and I'm not sure if there's much I can do other than upgrading it.
One thing I've noticed is that the CPU fan runs much more quietly when I'm in bios as opposed to running windows. I've been reading reddit thread and topics here about voltages and temperatures spikes. Fortunately I'm not seeing drastic overheating. Ryzen Master shows me frequently around 39-42 C at idle. Dragon Center reads higher, at low of 39 to a high of 51 C.
But I am wondering if my voltage is too high. I went into bios to see if I can change CPU voltage from Auto to Normal as apparently that has alleviated some of the fan problems with other Ryzen users. However I don't have that option in the Menu. I'm given, Auto, Overclock with Offset, AMD Overclock. From there I didn't know what to do so I decided to leave it alone.
But the cpu voltage is reading 1.4. Is that too high at idle? Here's a pic from bios.

I did install a new chipset driver on Dragon Center after mulling it over because even though it shows as the latest version. The AMD website has not listed this one available yet.
So I went from 2.07.14.327 to chipset driver 2.07.21.306
I was hoping this would improve things but it doesn't seem that way. I did change the fan on the prism cooler from low to high but I read that this should not effect idle operation.
I did adjust the minimum and maximum processor states in Ryzen Balance plan this morning just to see if it would change anything. I changed minimum to 90% and maximum to 99% and the fan is still loud as hell. The stock Ryzen Balance plan is set to 99% and 100% respectively.
This has lowered my temperature in Ryzen Master but the fan noise does not change. Photo here:

Is there anything I can do with my settings to quiet this thing down or is a better cooler my best option? I'd like to get the Noctua U12S as a replacement as I hear they of good quality and much quieter. Is there anything concerning in those photos that I need to adjust asap?
