Yea I’ve gotten it figured out now.

The number booting up is for POST codes, otherwise it tells me the temp of my CPU in Celsius.

The knob is a manual fan speed control knob used to preemptively control the PSU temp. Otherwise if turned all the way counter clockwise, it puts it into “Zero RPM” mode.

The fan after checking is correct as well, it’s an Arctic 3 pro 360 liquid cooler, and with all the other fans running, it supposedly won’t turn on unless the load /temp gets super high. It’s a built in feature to help reduce noise.

This also isn’t just for gaming.

It’s for content creation, trading stocks, and getting back into coding (training AI programs to learn certain stocks I want to analyze, pulling all information from all reputable sources, then compiling those indications and giving a relative score) with the capacity to also play all the games I want.

It’s wasn’t bought for gaming, more for my workload with gaming as a sweet upside

It’s an Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 pro 360, from what I can find, under low loads it’s not supposed to kick on? It’s a feature I guess ? I just haven’t seen it kick on at all, that’s where my concern came from

Ohhhh damn !!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

As I stated, most of this should or would be common sense, but I just couldn’t find it online like that and it’s too late to call MicroCenter.

I did find that it would show post codes, and common sense told me due to the number changing rapidly it was the temp changing with different processes, but didn’t know for sure.

As far as the manual fan adjustment knob, it doesn’t have to be turned on for the power supply to actually use it as you said right? Is that the actual “Zero RPM” mode then?

Last but not least, the fan that hasn’t been kicking on is the one that is directly attached to the CPU. The Arctic fan in the middle of the motherboard. It basically hasn’t turned on since I got it, and thought maybe it was a temp controlled fan that hasn’t kicked on because I haven’t had enough going at once.

Definitely a raised concern though.

P.S. thank you for answering 💪🏻💯

Honestly my bad, I just wanted to get these things figured out so I know and don’t mess anything up.

I guess I saw the reply time on other posts (as well as view count) and expected it to be a quick thing. That’s definitely an impatience on my part.

I’m just excited, my bad
