Aurora R8, please fix fans

The front and top case fans in my Aurora R8 randomly go into overdrive 30 seconds at time and makes the whole room sound like it's being vacuumed.

My two Aurora R7 machines do not have this problem. In fact, my wife uses one of the Aurora R7s to play Division 2 with me and she asked why my machine sounds like a vacuum cleaner the entire time. I can't watch Netflix or YouTube on my Aurora R8 since the case fans go into overdrive randomly drowning out the sound.

This happens even when nothing else is going on and I decide to open Chrome or Firefox. No homepage, nothing, just a blank browser with minimal extensions.

I took apart the case to make sure the heat sink was properly seated.

I also tried to limit fan speed using the AWCC. I'm currently running a thermal profile where the cpu fan is auto managed and the two case fans are fixed at 22%. The software is showing 56C cpu, top, and front with the fans going 22%, 32%, and 38% respectively. The software is not fixing the fan speeds to 22% as seen in these screen shots below.
