Putting together my new system:
Intel i7 3770, stock cooler
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H mobo
Antec Earthwatts 650W PSU (old, but I'm not going to use a high-powered graphics card for now)
G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL RAM kit, only 1 4 GB stick in the system now
Anyway, the CPU fan tries to spin up a few times when I turn it on, but doesn't really get going until about 20-30 seconds after I turn it on. My case fans of course spin right up. I have detached both the case fans from the motherboard, and hooked them up directly to the PSU via Molex-to-3-pin adapters. Is this spin-up time/behavior normal for an i7, or am I right in suspecting something is wrong here?
