Some H170i Elite AIO fans fail to spin immediately after power-on.
Some H170i Elite AIO fans fail to spin immediately after power-on.
Hey everyone, so I just updated my AIO firmware and such through ICUE and now my fans don't spin right away when the PC starts from a full shut down. When I look at them, it seems like they spin once very slowly before stopping ramping up to normal speed one by one after about 3-5 seconds. Nothing in the bios settings changed, I checked the headers and they were good but before I'm at the OS screen, the fans are spinning normally. This didn't happen before and they fun at full speed with my PC starting, which is why I'm here curious if this is normal or what. My system specs: Windows 11 Pro 64 bit RTX 4090 ROG Maximus Z790 Apex 32 GB DDR5 Ram I9-13900k Corsair RM1000x Shift PSU Bios version is at Version 3001 with the 0x12F microcode I've been unable to get an answer on this situation anywhere else so I'm hoping maybe you guys can help me out, thank you for taking the time to read this!
It's understandable that the new firmware affects how your fans function. A few technicians might have thought it was impressive. The fan curve has been adjusted, so the fans now operate slightly differently. Unless the fans stop working when Windows starts and the CPU temperature rises significantly, there’s no cause for worry.
Thank you for your patience. I tend to be a bit anxious about sudden changes, but your feedback is appreciated!
