So, as the topic said, having a somewhat annoying issue with my fan ramping up for no apparent reason over the 2 or 3 days now., after roughly 9 months since getting it. Til now it has run pretty cool and at fairly low speeds - even through lonnnnng gaming sessions.
To get specs out of the way (not that it's really relevant), FX 8350/ Asus M5A97 LE R2.0/ the stated PSU/ 16gb of meh 1866mhz HyperX Fury ram
Now, first of all, I realllllly don't care that it's cheap. So lets avoid that point eh? I knew that going in, it was 44 damn dollars. Lol.
It's been about 2 weeks since I got my Cryorig H7 and put it in (that x-bar crud is ridiculously terrible. cools great though) this is literally the only thing that has changed in the interim. Was the stock amd heatsink before.
So, my power supply fan has essentially been hitting up around the max speed - Fine, I figured whatever, it probably needs the dust cleaned out. So I do that, but I did this directly after a gaming session and I noticed while cleaning that the psu heatsinks were very cold. I go ahead and finish cleaning it, and it was gross. I blew into it at one point after cleaning off the blade and it was like an explosion happened.
Now, even after cleaning it is still running hard for some reason. any tips, any leads? My guess is something is screwy with their fan control whatever nonsense in it. Since it still runs through the full speed range. just jumps way to fast.
