Hi,
I have recently brought a HP all in one with a Ryzen CPU. PC is fine, does exactly what we needed as a family. My only issues is the CPU fan has a constant whine, it goes up and down, not the speed, the sound, its hard to explain. Louder and quieter, louder and quieter. When its under stress the speed ramps up but this whine is at idle.
Is this normal and do I just need to get used to it. I would take it back into Curry but they are shut due to the COVID19 outbreak. Cant be without this pc at the mo and my wife is working from home. Should I be concern about this noise of is this a HP/Ryzen thing?
Thanks

That is a Ryzen thing. They tend to have noisy CPU fan/cooler assemblies. I had a system with a Ryzen 5 2600X and it was acceptable most of the time but my new system with a Ryzen 7 2700X was unbearably loud. I ended up replacing the whole cooling assembly. I believe there may be a BIOS setting for the fan which may help with the noise. Have a look at this page. Also this HP support page may help.
