    Idk why my newly built PC sounds like a jet taking off, i’m using AM5 CPU, CPU usage is <10%, and my room is cold like less than 18 degrees cold. i have no idea what needs cooling so much so that the fan keeps spooling up tf…

    it’s bad to the point that everytime i click on a separate tab i feel like it’s flying away lol.

    Edit: ooft, i just checked 5700X idle temp is like 35-45 lol. if i click on a tab it will go up to 50+.

      check heatsink connected properly to the die or not. rookie mistake is not putting thermal paste and not peeling off the protective plastic on the heatsink.
