I have an odd issue with my CPU fan. Sometimes, when the PC is under minimal load (e.g. just using Chrome), the CPU fan starts to run at what sounds as 100% speed, despite the CPU temps being around 35°C. Now, the puzzling part is that as soon as I start any monitoring tool (cpuz, hwinfo, hwmonitor, anything really that shows temps or fan speed), the fan speed goes back to normal immediately.
Other than that, the CPU temperatures are fine (about 65°C in Battlefield 1, 75°C during stress test) so I don't think there is any issue with the cooler itself. I don't run any OC other than the default XMP profile at this time.
I've already upgraded the mobo BIOS to the most recent version, but that made no difference. I've set the Q-Fan profile in BIOS to Silent, also no difference. I'd be grateful for any pointers because I'm pretty much lost at this point.
Build:
Asus PRIME Z270-A
Intel Core i7-7700K
Cryorig H5 Ultimate
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8GB 3000MHz
GTX 780
Windows 10 64
