I have had a Corsair H80I GT in my gaming pc for about 7 months, maybe a little less and its hard to explain how often it does it, i guess it's just whenever i pay attention enough to notice it xD but it tends to completely randomly rev up and 5-10 seconds later rev back down when i am doing nothing that requires very much component usage such as on youtube or surfing the web. I have heard something about having to adjust something in the bios but i thought i would ask on here first just to be safe. And i was wondering if someone could give me the best custom curve setup on Corsair Link that would pretty much make it so when the computer is idle or doing low component usage processes(youtube, web surfing, etc..)it runs as low as it needs to and when its in gaming or high performance processes, it runs how ever high it needs to.
- thank you

If you're running the H80i in tandem with the system in your sig;
AMD FX 8320 @ 3.50 Ghz
Corsair H80i GT
16GB G.SKILL DDR3 1333
120 GB Samsung 850 Evo
6GB Nvidia Geforce GTX 980
Asus Crosshair V Formula Z
AZZA EOS 204 Gaming Case
Corsair RM1000X PSU
Acer K242HQL 23.6" Monitor

then the cooler ramping every so often is it trying to keep your processor cool. You do know that your FX-8320 processor is rated at 125w TDP, right, while the radiator is not effective at cooling more than 85-100W of CPU power? You should be looking at least on putting that CPU on a 240mm radiator or making sure your power saving features like Cool N Wuiet are enabled. In hindsight, instead of opting for a custom fan curve, I'd suggest you try and perform undervolting so you have less power being delivered to your CPU. In essence this also means lower power delivery and less CPU temp spikes. While in Auto the motherboard BIOS tends to set it to voltages that are most often capable of performing a 30% overclock. As it is you're running at stock frequency's so you may see better temps when using less power at those frequency's.

I own an APU and every now and then it ramps up before dieing down but there are times when I do see 100% CPU usage - primarily since I have an antiviurs in the background performing a background scan of my drives as well as acting as a firewall and handful of other programs at startup. To add more salt to that number, I have about 14 tabs open in Google Chrome so... :)
