Uses a very noisy chipset fan when idle after startup, becomes slower under load.
Uses a very noisy chipset fan when idle after startup, becomes slower under load.
The chipset fan on my board acts oddly. It tends to spin wildly when I power up, reaching high speeds, but calms down when I add load. Recently, it started doing this every time I boot, even though I thought BIOS updates might help. It doesn’t seem to be influenced by the BIOS version. Any suggestions?
It begins after power-on. Many users begin at full speed and stay until POST ends, which helps the fan start efficiently. This approach was typical in earlier models, but if Asus encountered problems with fans failing to activate at low speeds, they might have implemented this adjustment in later BIOS updates.
It runs continuously for hours as long as I allow it, even when the PC goes into sleep mode. Previously, it would occasionally slow down after some time, but recently it hasn’t. Additionally, no external tools can influence it—LibreHardwareMonitor, Asus Ai suite, BIOS—none of them work. This is frustrating because it keeps me wondering if I should go back to the B450 Tomahawk Max or switch to another board. I doubt this would qualify for an RMA since they wouldn’t treat it as a problem. My guess is the GPU is covering the fan and struggling to get airflow, which shouldn’t happen.
Last night I upgraded Ryzen Master, now it doesn’t start cleanly or on reboot. :S I don’t use it myself, I just install it. Occasionally I open it to check if other programs show the right temps. Maybe it’s not directly about Ryzen Master, could be something else entirely.
