VERY loud wraith spire

[Dehaka]

just got my 3400g today, the fan is VERY loud. it makes exactly the same sound as like from 0:09 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uY8eDX0TDI, like the sound of a miniature bike engine. my 2600's cooler barely makes a sound even at 100%, watever noise it makes while gaming is drowned by my gpu+psu fans.

 

whats worse is that the fan revs up just during internet browsing, no videos. ive seen it hit 2500 rpm at 40C. cpu is definitely not overheating, temps are normal. the noise is unbearable, this isn't just a minor annoyance, it rapidly goes up and down just by idling on desktop like you hear in the video. is the fan faulty? or are all 3400g fans like this?

Might be worth logging with AMD, maybe they can send you a replacement cooler idk

I haven't heard reports of the cooler being especially loud - but I would, as @slippers_ said, log it with AMD. Try adjusting the fan curve though. It might just be set to go really high by default.

And make sure it's plugged into the right header - like it's not meant for a PWM pump or something. I've heard some things about that being an issue - it might not be but it doesnt hurt to check

Thats is a issue. Well sort of. I have my 3pin aio pump in 4pin connector so its running 100% all the time. It is pretty loud but idc.

I think its the same with fans. Do not plug 3pin fans to 4pin headers, or the other way, it might work, but its damm loooouuuddd!!

I know this issue very well, apparently stealth coolers have less rpm thus make less noise. You can try to put DC mode instead of PWM in BIOS and of course adjust curve. (Me personally left it on PWM however adjusted curve that fan rev up only to 60%, because my case is well ventilated anyway)

its a a320 board so very barebones, only 1 cpu fan and i plugged the cooler into it. i will contact amd i guess, my 2600 fan is barely audible at 100% yet this fan is very annoying already at 1.7-1.8k rpm (and it's at that rate with sub 38C cpu temp), ive set the fan curve to the mb's "silent" preset yet it still spin so fast.

will try that but i want it to be able to spin to 100%. also its a spire, the stealth for my 2600 is very quiet, so quiet that at first i opened the case multiple times to check its spinning (compared to my i5 2500k fan @ 100% it was silent as a ghost)

 

its that sound exactly like in the video from 0:09 thats so annoying.

Do not put silent, I've used to have A320M S2H from gigabyte and it didn't help - as I said, choose DC mode, not PWM first - then limit your fan RPM or adjust curve. There is no other way around unfortunately. I'm looking to get custom cooler because it is annoying.
