Everyone,
I observed that after dusting my PC, the system fans operate at full speed when running Windows and at a lower speed in BIOS. I attempted to reset CMOS and BIOS settings and verified all connections. I’m unsure what further steps might help resolve the problem since I don’t have fan control software installed. Thanks.

I use a shop vac with exhaust, employing it for dusting and keeping fans steady while working. I cleaned the case too. I verified all connections are correct. The fan curve functions in BIOS, and the fans reach maximum speed in Windows.

System specifications?
Just as a step to rule them out, run "dism" and "sfc /scannow".
For reference:

My idea is the shop vac generated an electrostatic spark, which led to corrupted files. It’s a bit of a stretch (like why just fan speeds?), but it’s worth checking for and fixing those files.

I’ll test the scan tools and check what they discover; the main change is that this is the first time I’ve unplugged it after upgrading to Windows 11.

The specifications are as follows:
B450m msi pro VDH
Ryzen 5 2600
RTX 2060
650w PSU
16gb 3200mhz DDR4
I attempted to execute the repair scripts but nothing altered. I also tried installing Windows on a different SSD, and it behaved similarly. It might be necessary to obtain another board or PSU.

Also examine the motherboard fan connections.
This motherboard?
https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe...00x150.pdf
[Make sure you have located the relevant manual.]
Go through the entire manual carefully, confirming all connections are accurate and securely placed.
Pay special attention to the physically marked numbering on Page 15 concerning the fan connectors.
Inspect the pins and connectors closely. Also observe the reference to BIOS fan speed settings.
In short, perform a thorough review of everything you've done. You might uncover some overlooked or missed steps.

I verified my motherboard and discovered a bent pin contacting another pin. I straightened it and re-soldered all connections, and everything functions properly now. It might have been a brief disruption in the signal. Thank you for your assistance.
