What happens to the temperatures if you use one of the other fan profiles?]]> Mon, 26 Feb 2018 08:36:25 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7827&PID=46040&title=frequent-short-temp-spikes-problem#46040 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7827&PID=46029&title=frequent-short-temp-spikes-problem#46029 Author: rocker7617

All the fan profiles except the "silent" is like sitting right next to a jet engine.  So I set my profile to Silent and I can hear a pin drop.  However, I am annoyed by the frequent quick temp spikes as indicated by the Core Temp tool. 

The system will be idling at 33'C and immediately within a fraction of a second will go to 50'C with the fans reving up like a jet engine.  Then the temp and fan noise/rpm will come down as fast as they went up - entire temp spike lasting just under two seconds.

I realize this happens as the workload goes up and down but I don't think this is good for the CPU to have a temp spike from 33 to 50 and back down in less than two or three second.  Is this happening because of the Silent mode?
