Hi,

I recently (Aug 2018) bought Alienware Aurora R7 with liquid cooling and 850W PSU and GPU GTX 1080. I have noticed that when I wake the PC, there is a noise (sounds like some fan which is not too loud but distracting) which starts 2/3 minutes after I have woken it up and then fades away after a while (5 to 10 minutes). Sometimes when I accidentally kick the table (while getting up) it starts again and then again fades away (after a while by itself or after I have kicked the table accidentally).  The noise could be from something else and not a fan, I just don't know. Just that it sounds like a fan.

Do you think some fan has not been properly installed (like a chassis fan or something like that)? The desktop as such is working like a dream, no problem with any HD videos or programming or web browsing or other apps etc. The temperature sensors and the fan speeds that I see in the panel are as shown below:

CPU sensor = 28 C (when I am not doing anything). Around 48 C (when I am running my machine learning Python codes in Spyder environment and simultaneously watching a 4K movie on the side)

HDD sensor = 22 C

PCI sensor = 24 C

GPU sensor #1 = 28 C

CPU Fan = 5350 - 5450 RPM

Front Fan = 460 RPM

Top Fan = 1140 RPM

GPU Fan #1 = 27%

Please help. Any suggestion as to why this noise and how to fix it. I am a computer novice so taking apart the desktop and doing ninja-like stuff with hardware is going to be difficult :-). Please let me know if I should be urgently fixing the issue or not.

Also, I have purchased "Onsite/In-Home Service After Remote Diagnosis, 1 Year" and "Dell Limited Hardware Warranty Initial Year". So do you think someone from Dell would be able to come to my residence to have a look at it  and fix it without having me ship over my machine?

 

Thanks a lot for your time!
