I've been experiencing an unusual issue for about a week now. I'm not sure what's behind it, but I'd like to understand. After using Firefox for a while without other programs, I sometimes notice a fan shutting off or slowing down. When I open Windows 7 apps—like clicking the Library folder on the taskbar—I hear a fan (or something in the PC stops working). It takes around three seconds for the Library folder to launch properly. I've checked everything: my CPU is OCed, power-saving features are off, hibernation mode disabled, and all fans are set to maximum. The only other fans are those on my GPU and PSU. The PSU has eco mode that activates based on temperature, but it doesn't seem to influence Windows 7 performance. The libraries folder is on an HDD, which might be the source of the problem. Please let me know if anyone has any insights! Thanks.

It seems your HDD might slow down when not in use. Check your power settings for adjustments.

Which processor is being used? The fans are running at full speed possibly because the HDD and SSD are experiencing a lag, which often happens when all your Windows folders are stored on the same disk.

Intel i7 950 features maximum fan speeds of 1200 RPM and operates quietly at that level. I’ll proceed to explore potential power-saving features, even though I haven’t made any adjustments recently.

I believe I've identified the issue. It seems my power plan was altered to shut down the HDD after just 20 minutes of inactivity. Fixed! Thanks everyone, it's cool.

It seems this might have been a temporary issue. I’ve experienced similar problems before, and I’m relieved you resolved it.
