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?

I find some desktop in the office doing that ritual upon startup but didn't do anything to it as I thought it's normal for certain board. What I can think of it is probably the BIOS handling CPU fan speed haven't taken control of it during initial POST. I am not sure.

But interestingly you might try some BIOS setting regarding CPU fan speed behavior if you look at your mobo manual on page 3-27.
Not sure if it helps.:(
But, haven't you tried it?

Thanks for the suggestions. It was something that I was looking at and trying to setup.

it seems this must just be normal with this board, as everything is running great, it quiets right down and is running extremely quiet once it's up and going. The Asus tools that came with the system work really good too and after running the Fan Xpert control system this thing is drop dead silent any 1 of my 2 case fans is simply shut off as the temps are not high enough to warrant it.

Very happy thus far with this build.
