Fan geting loud randomly?

[minimoose]

My fans get loud when I'm not doing anything intensive, my CPU usage is average like 4% so why is that?

What is your CPU fan?

It is normal if you are using jet engine, but it is not normal if you are using noctuas.

I am using the stock Intel cooler, not sure if jet engine is a nickname for it.

Does your motherboard support custom fan profiles? Your CPU fan is probably spinning up randomly

It is.

Try to change fan curves, to lower if your temps arent high.

I don't know, my motherboard the ASUS P8Z77-v LX

How do I do that?

How do I that?

go to that software which comes with your MoBo.

... I feel like an idiot, what software?  The BIOS?

you can do it from BIOS too, but MoBo means motherboard, and if it have a software then you can do it from there

I know it means motherboard, but do you mean the disc it came with?

yes

yes

OK, thanks, I will try that when I finish 360 no-scoping noobs in sync to Krewella!

Yes, you motherboard has it Crack open AISuite (download it if you haven't) and you can change your fan curves through Fan Xpert

I would try installing AI Suite 3 instead of AI Suite 2 to control your cpu fan curve as the older version is buggy:https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/38277-how-to-ai-suite-iii-on-z77-boards/

As above, AI Suite 3 will be on the utilities disk that came with ur mobo. Use it to set a custom fan curve to bring those RPM's down. A side note, if it is sounding more like a vibrating sound then just a speed increase it could be that the fan is off-balance and may have come loose of its housing and/or the fan blades come off the motor.

AI Suite 3 is only on Z87 boards. The tutorial above is to teach you how to trick AI Suite 3 in installing on a Z77 board as AI Suite 2 included on the cd is buggy.
