Default Re: HDX card noise on PT startup

My questions is, during most operation the fan on the HDX seems pretty quiet, but when starting up protools, the fan/card gives off a strange “whirrrrr” sound for a few seconds then stops. Is this normal behavior? It’s like the fan maxes out for a second or two then stops.

Thanks!

Hi,


When you first turn on the computer it does a hardware check which usually means all fans on cards and GPU cards go to full during the hardware test. So if its just running fast for the first few seconds its no problem.
