So I just finished building my first pc. and from the moment I turn it on the cpu fan is spinning insanely loud. cpu usage is currently sitting at 1% and cpu temp is 23 degrees. How do I solve this? through the bios? Also the nzxt h440v2 case fans are not spinning at all. Note the case is still open and I dont have any load running as of now. maybe they turn on when needed?
you should check out the fan curves on the bios
what MoBo are you using?

turned out to be a loose cable.
what about the case fans though?

as for the case fans, turns out the fan hub is not connected to the psu yet.
Problem solved! Firing on all cylinders!!

Isn't it better to connect the fans to the motherboard PWM headers? In this case you can control them via software or bios

yea, but they aren't loud even running at full load. and I would rather keep the case clean to be honest.

Nice, if it ain't loud, all good to go.

I'm updating airflow design in my case, it is an Inwin Mana 137 with 2x120mm front, 1x120mm rear, 2x120mm top, 2x120mm side

my old air flow was:
2x120mm front intake
1x120mm rear exhaust
*CPU fan flow is from inside the case toward the rear fan

Everything was running well with the MSI R9 380 Gaming (70c in summer) and the Hyper212 Evo on top of i5 4670k 4.3Ghz (75C summer full load)

but recently I swapped the MSI R9 380 Gaming with a Gigabyte GTX780 OC which runs on 84C! it throttles and keep running on that temperature, this added a stress on the CPU cooler and I started to see 80c - 85C if I stress test the whole system so I had to adjust the fans, I've ordered 2 extra fans but meanwhile I have:
1x120mm front intake
1x120mm side intake (directly for the gpu)
1x120mm rear exhaust

I had to cool down the GTX780 by doing that and also down-clocking it by 100mhz
When the new 2 fans arrive the design will be
1x120mm front intake
1x120mm side intake
1x120mm rear intake
2x120mm top exhaust
*CPU fan will be changed to take the air directly from the rear intake and exhausts inside case (the top fans will take pull out the warm air)

The RAM sticks will be affected by this but it is not a big deal for a 1333mhz DDR3 RAM with hyperX heatsink on top
Using this design the CPU cooler will have a fresh air as source, my case interior is not very cable clean, all fans will be connected to the motherboard (2xCPU PWM + 3xSystem PWM)

Nice! I'm currently running 3 x 120mm in the front and 1x140mm in the back. cable management is excellent with not a single cable in the way of the fans or visible from the side panel. Haven't had the chance to push the pc to its limits yet.But once I get my monitor today I'm doing a clean windows install, transfering my steam games to this pc and hopefully by tomorrow I can start pushing it to its breaking point!
