Unbearable Fan Noise on my X870E Build

Good evening

Just looking for a bit of advice/help

Just completed a build using an ASUS X870E motherboard coupled with a Ryzen 9800X3D, the case has 10 Corsair RX120 fans in total, 7 case and 3 on the AIO Titan 360 cooler, these are all connected using the Corsair icue link system within the case.

When I am within windows the fans are barely spinning, the CPU is running at about 40-45 degrees.

When I switch the machine on the fans will all spin at full speed until I get windows loaded and the icue software loads, they will then spin down to about 300 rpm.

If I leave the machine and it goes to sleep it does so quietly, however if i press the W+L key to lock the machine the fans will again speed up to full speed and will not stop until I log back in again.

I am certain it is an issue with either the board or bios as the fans will be going full speed even when I am in the bios, and you can imagine that when there are 10 of them the sound is deafening.

I have compared the bios settings with another X870E board a friend has and nothing is different.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

You will need to add temperature probes to the Commander in order to setup hardware fan curves.  I have come across this exact thing. 

Have you adjusted the settings in 'Device Memory Mode'?  (see the attached picture)  I am sure this will be the solution you are looking for.  Remember to save the settings to the device!

I do not run iCue.  I have everything saved to the memory of the devices (Commander, AIO pump, memory, case lighting, keyboard).  Every month or so I open iCue, update, and carry on.   It appears it is time to update!  🤣

X870E E-Gaming - 9950X3D - MSI Expert 4080 Super - Corsair 6000 cl26, BZ tuned - LG 34GP950G-B, 144hz, 10-bit - Corsair HX850i - Corsair 5000t - All Noctua fans - SMSL 200 DAC - Beyerdynamic DT770 250 - Edifier R1280DBs, T5 Sub

All sorted now, thanks for the help.

I can take my ear defenders off now 😀
