Have you configured the fan speeds in the UEFI/BIOS, in the H/W Monitoring screen?
What model of fans are you using, the exact model name please.
Chassis Fan 1 and Chassis Fan 2 have individual configuration settings in that screen. You must also select which temperature source to be monitored, the CPU or mother board temperature.
You can select a preset fan speed curve, or select Custom where you set five temperatures, each with a corresponding fan speed percentage.
Do you use the A-Tuning utility that is supplied on your board's download page? If so, do you have it set to auto-run when Windows starts? If so, while the A-Tuning fan speed control settings should match what you have set in the UEFI/BIOS, the A-Tuning settings will override the UEFI/BIOS settings while you are in Windows. Once you restart the PC, the UEFI/BIOS settings will be used.
If you have not configured the fan speed control in the H/W Monitoring screen yourself, it is possible that the default settings will run your fans at a high speed, and be loud.
Are you telling us that in spite of configuring the fan speeds in the UEFI/BIOS, the fans still run at full speed? Are you using a program to monitor the fan's speed? Did you ever run the Fan Test for each fan connected to a fan header, in the Fan-Tastic Tuning feature in A-Tuning? What does A-Tuning show for the fan speeds?
