Hi,
So I purchased a ZOTAC MAGNUS EN1080K. It's a pre-built mini PC with a closed loop water cooling system. Here's the official product link for reference: https://www.zotac.com/product/mini_pcs/magnus-en1080k
You just add some memory and a hard drive and you have a tiny water cooled unit that has a GTX 1080 and i7-7700. Pretty cool right?
Well it's driving me freakin' nuts and I'm really hoping someone here can shed some light on the situation, because no one else (including ZOTAC) have really helped that much.
The problem is I can hear the damn fan to a level I consider unacceptable in this sort of system. I have my own build sitting in the same room and it's silent compared to this and when I switch off the ZOTAC everything goes quiet and I feel a relief. Obviously a water cooled system at idle should not be like that.
Initially the CPU temps were showing at 50-55c, which I figured was the problem, because the BIOS is set to have the fan kick in at 50c... But now the CPU within Windows is showing 40c, although in the BIOS it still shows as 50-55c+.

And here's a Speccy screen: http://i.imgur.com/8PYgIyR.png
The main thing that stands out to me is the MB at 115c, which is obviously wrong as the system would have probably melted through my table by now, plus it's not hot to the touch at all. Another thing I noticed is that the CPU max temp spikes at around 60c, although perhaps that's normal?
Nothing is stressing the CPU as you can see. The usage isn't even above 10% and everything within Windows is running flawlessly.
Also, is 805 RPM for the system fan normal for idle?
ZOTAC recommended I update the BIOS, which I believe I did, but that hasn't helped.
Apologies for the rant and thank you for reading. I really hope someone can offer some insight
