Symptoms

Hearing fan noise from the monitor or, fan is still on and spinning when the AW3423DWF monitor is turned off or put to sleep.

Cause

The AW3423DWF has an integrated fan for the OLED panel. The fan will always be on as long as the monitor is turned on and the speed of the fan will change according to the internal and ambient temperature level.

The fan can still be on when the monitor is off or sleeping. This is due to the monitor still not fully switched off or sleeping yet (the monitor may still do some internal processing such as Pixel Refresh operation, and so on). It may take a few minutes until the internal processing is completed, then the fan is turned off.

Resolution

Normal Fan Behavior

This is an expected behavior of the AW3423DWF monitor. The fan is there to protect the monitor from overheating and follow the industry standard sound pressure level specifications (example < 32 db.)
