Hey there! It sounds like the VRM fan isn’t working properly, but after restarting it did spin again. That’s not unusual—sometimes fans need time to initialize. Also, the temperature reading jumped to 110 degrees right after booting up. That’s definitely high and could indicate a hardware or software issue. It might be a bug, so you should check the fan’s status and consider consulting the documentation or support for Corsair.
If the board supports a zero RPM setting, Corsair RGB software on an ASUS board works best. Use HWInfo or your BIOS right after turning it off to verify this. If temperatures appear as expected, consider using an IR thermometer aimed at a flat, non-reflective area of the VRM to measure its heat. Hand testing can be risky and may damage components.
Also a brief remark on VRM: Most VRM parts can handle temps well above 100°C, typically around 120°C. Since you're running a powerful multi-core processor, its activity naturally increases VRM demand, which explains the temperature rise during startup.
