I currently built a PC and installed a CPU cooling system corsair 100i on top of my CPU. When the system starts up, the fans go on high for about a second or so, but then they immediately slow to a crawl. What worries me is when im playing games with intense graphics(i have a 980 ti) and the cpu heats up(70 ish) the fans never kick back on, plus I've heard people complain the fans are loud on the 100i so I feel like mine is functioning properly. Any tips?

Have you installed the corsair link software and installed the fan as instructed? GPU fans usually run at 100% speed when powering up and the quickly come down to normal rpm, this is to make sure the fan starts spinning properly.
