Strange fan usage on 390x at boot

I recently became the proud owner of a powercolor pcs+ r9 390x. Absolutely love the card. Not as hot as expected and reasonably quiet. Well that is until I reboot. I'm running latest stable release (not beta) drivers from amd. Crimson I believe. And when I boot or reboot my machine once it posts and begins to load windows 10 my fans suddenly ramp up and are extremely noisy on my gpu.

When Ive arrived at desktop I look at the crimson Radeon settings and under global settings for overdrive I see the fans are set to manual at 70%. If i reset back to default the fans slow down back to normal and everything is fine. Just annoying when I have to do this on every boot.

Anyone else getting this? Is this just a driver bug? I should also mention that I also formatted my ssd and reinstalled a fresh copy of windows 10 and drivers to eliminate any software errors.
