Ok what I did that seems to at least tempered the spikey fan noise is set the Thermal limit of the GPU to 82C in AWCC, then under thermals I made a smooth line curve for the fan to ramp up on both the top and front fan. That seemed to do the trick for the most part. Occasionally it ramps up really high but it doesn't fluctuate and spike all over the place like before. Thanks to everyones help, I'm still going to look into that water cooling solution for the GPU though, happily take any recommendations. I would love to have as quiet a PC as I could.
I should have sent my Aurora R11 back when it was still under warranty right away as I have had this crazy spinning up of the fan noise since I got it. I thought it was normal till a friend of mine came over and told me otherwise, but alas my warranty ended in August and Dell doesn't want to return my request for purchasing an extended warranty so I took it upon myself to look for an answer. Looking through numerous threads and youtube videos I seem to be having the same problem as many other users with the Aurora R11 2080ti, ridiculous fan noise spinning up for 3 seconds to full blast and then lowering itself for 3 seconds. So I replaced the two stock fans with two Corsair ML120 Pro fans. And I reapplied the thermal paste on the gpu with some ArticMX-4. Idling it is dead quiet, fantastic. But as soon as I boot up any game that even slightly uses some of the GPU the whole system just goes berserk just as before. It's every so lightly less loud but its doing the same spinning up and spinning down as before. I've updated my graphics card to the latest drivers, the bios to the latest bios.I am at a loss for what to do. I just want to play some video games without having to put my headphones on and try and ignore the screaming fan noise spinning up and down over and over again. I've attached a snapshot of the fan you can see the fan speed spikes in the photo. [IMAGE]
