Just wondering if anybody knows for sure the answer here.
I just built a Core i7-3770 for work on an Asus P8Z77-V LK mobo, and when I first turn it on, it seems like the CPU fan kicks on and is loud for the first 10 seconds or so and then it slows down to the point where it's practically silent.
I'm used to servers doing this when they first start, but not usually my desktops.
Is this normal on the new Core i7's with the stock cooler?
