So I put this together about two weeks ago, and everything is working great, games playing properly and the performance is a step up from my previous computer.

However I notice there is a slight reving from my cpu fan when doing things such as just watching a twitch stream, not noticing it during games or any other activities.
Power management is set to performance in windows 10 settings as well as the NVidia control panel.

Will post a picture of my HWmonitor of me just watching a twitch stream while writing this post to see if you guys think its a normal temps etc.

Thanks.

Cant seem to add pictures from storage here is hwmonitor output in text:

Solution
Intel's stock coolers are adequate, that is all. Under a full load it shouldn't overheat, but it will rev up.

Just spend the $30 to replace it with something that can keep the CPU cooler. Less noise and it will stay boosted longer.

The minimum value for the cpu fan is 3.8k and then the max is 5.1k, usually it hovers around 4-4.3k while watching a twitch stream at 1080p 60fps.
Does this seem normal to you guys?
How does one find out if their cpu fan is working to par, do you just go by the temperatures and if its not being turnt off/throttled by being too hot everything is working ok?
