Loud fan noise on start up

I recently got my SSD replaced because the old one was too small. After I finished the installation, reformat of hard drives, re installed windows,etc, everything seemed fine. The next day I went to boot up the computer and one of my fans (seems to be the top fan of the case) sounds like it is spinning much faster and makes a loud noise just until windows boots up and then it goes back to normal. This is happening every time I boot up the computer now and I do not know what is causing it. Note that it does not do that right as I turn it on, but about 4 seconds after. Any answer is much appreciated, thank you.

I think any connection to a ssd replacement is remote.
But... here is a scenario:
With a new ssd, your cpu no longer has to wait much during startup.
As a result, it becomes more cpu bound making the motherboard think that the cpu is being stressed and increasing all fan speeds of fans connected to the motherboard.

Since the fan does go back to normal, I see no problem worth much attention.

And... I suggest you not regularly shut down and boot anyway.
Use sleep to ram(not hibernate).
That will put your pc in a very low power state.
Sleep and wake will only take 43-4 seconds.

This only started happening right after I installed the new SSD which leads me to think this may not be the case.

I checked and found that the fan making the noise is the top fan of the phantom 410.
