I just built a new PC and everything seems to be working fine. The only thing that worries me is the CPU fan (it's the stock fan that comes with i3-6100).
When I press the power button, the case fan starts immediately and at normal speed. The CPU fan, however, waits for a second, then starts spinning at a very high speed for a brief moment, and then calms down, probably because UEFI loads and regulates the speed (the motherboard is Asrock H110M-DVS/D3).
I've set the fan speed to "Performance", the second highest setting in UEFI, which keeps it at around 1450 rpm (before that it was spinning at 1300 rpm).
Whatever the settings, though, the initial loud and fast spinning remains. Is that normal? Here people say this is not uncommon, but I've never seen it before and certainly most stock Intel fans don't behave in that way. Is it possible that the fan is faulty and could the fast spinning be damaging to it?
