XPS 8930, Fan Noise LOUD!
Hello,
I just bought an XPS 8930 and the fans are almost constantly running. On top of that, the fans are LOUD and can be heard over 20 feet away. Also, the PC runs the fans up to full speed even when the screen is dimmed because I haven't taken any action for 5+ minutes.
I've upgraded the BIOS to v1.1.13 and all the drivers that Microsoft and Dell recommended but that didn't help in any way.
I'm running the PC in about a 70 degree (F) environment, so not even close to hot.
Anyone have any idea as to how to fix this problem? I'm extremely sad that if this fan noise issue can't be resolved, the PC will have to be sent back to Dell.

@mermuz
CPU does work and gets hot... fans rev up. That much is normal.
Make sure your CPU cooler fan is working.
If you care to, disassemble your CPU cooler to confirm that the heatsink is properly installed with thermal paste/tape/pad.

in 2023 I finally upgrade to 8700k version heatsink like some people here did
finally I can let it go to 4.00GHz and not being noisy
going 4.28GHz still noisy
I am disappointed that Dell HK didn't allow me to buy the K version heatsink, because I didn't buy k version cpu at first. I finally got it from some chinese website.
dell that didn't test their machine before selling it
