Hey peeple, I`ve just built a new gaming setup with an AMD ryzen 5 7600x + 6800 GPU + Gigabyte B650 Gaming AX Mobo - I have a very strange issue where the cooling in the system is all over the place, it just seems that the cooling behavior is erratic - it`s not that it doesn`t cool, it cools quite well (water cooler 360mm + 7 120mm fans) but it continusouly adjust the cooler speeds up and down. Every 2 minutes the coolers go to max, stay there 30 sec, go back down to low med stay there a few more min and all over again. Does this continously. With no load the CPU is @ 40 degr. C, seems fine. Did a BIOS update, not sure what the issue is. Any ideas ?
