Predator G3-710 CPU Fan rarely starts, and runs for only like a minute. Heat Issues
So ive noticed over the last few weeks the CPU fan is turning on less and less frequently in my system, and decided to check the temps. Turns out my system is idling at 65+ and hits 100 often, without the fan turning on. The fan only turns on on the occasions that it does for a min or two and then totally stops spinning. Tried turning off Smart Fan in BIOS, and got it to spin at 4500 RPM for a short while, and then it turns itself off again. Tried Argotronics, and while the curve seems to work while the fan is spinning, but it will start and stop randomly, ignoring the temp settings it seems. Ive heard these PCs have head issues, but these numbers seem excessive.
CPU running at less then 30% at 100 temp without a fan doesn't seem good for the life of the system, and even in older games, (such as dota 2) leads to gameplay lag. Shouldn't be happening on the system i got. If i super stress the system with like a CPU Stress test i can make the fan turn on and stay on, but the consistently high temps have me worried.
I also put in a new 1tb HD in the included expansion slot.
I did have a problem not long after i purchased it with flashing the bios bricking the system so i sent it in to get it serviced and thus i now ended up with a different bios (R02.B0).
Anything I can do to solve this? Or should i just turn smart fan back on a keep my fingers crossed?
