Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

As far as I know, there is no "fix" for this because basically, that is how some PCs work.

I maintain several different HP and non-HP desktops and most of them behave this same way -- fast fan speed for a few seconds after booting, then slower and quiet.

Thanks I appreciate your help.

My heat sink fan runs normally then occasionally speeds up then runs normally again. Then after awhile it starts all over.

Had the computer for about 2 years and this just started a few months ago.

Is the heat sink the problem or the fan?
