How to solve that fan runs with full speed when power cable plugged
When power cable plugged to my Dell Optiplex 7070 SFF, the fan runs with full speed with huge noise.
After pressed the power button to start OS, the fan become normal.
After shutdown the OS, the fan runs with full speed again till I unplug the power cable.
I cannot stand the noise, how to solve it ?

If you unplug power cord from a pc that was previously powered on, it may confuse the power on circuit the next time you plug in power cord again.
try keep power cord plugged in all the time and use power button only to turn off/on pc. see if that prevents some of the fan rev noise.
some optiplex bios is designed to rev the cpu fan to full blast temporarily then quiets after POST. Try turn on minimal boot option in bios to see if that could mitigate the noise issue.
- Minimal — The system boots quickly, unless the BIOS has been updated, memory changed, or the previous POST did not complete.
- Thorough — The system does not skip any steps in the boot process.
- Auto — This allows the operating system to control this setting (this works only when the operating system supports Simple Boot Flag).
This option is set to Thorough by default.bodylocker

Thanks for you suggestion, but if I keep the power cord plugged in all the time, after I turn off the PC, the fan will run at full speed all the time.
Also I tried changing the Fast Boot option to Minimal, but it doesn't work.

Thanks for your suggestion, but after I updated the bios to the latest version 1.12.0, this problem still exists.

So isn't there a trouble shooting guide? This is 1 of Amazon's top budget refurbished things and they installed the front fan backwards. First of all sometimes the technician has the front fan backwards. The fan was sucking real hard for 4 months and all that time I didn't realize it was meant to blow, but that's not helping now. I'm afraid everything got cooked. Everytime I plug into the power supply, The fans just keep running and running, while the power button doesn't do anything.
taking out the CMOS battery out and putting it back in didn't help and neither did and re snapping in the ram sticks

WOW no one who has this problem cares to answer what else can be done: "

Would've been nice to see actual solution other than service was setup by Dell-Cares, then see that as Dell Accepted Solution.
You may need a PC shop to fix the problem. The only other thing I can think of is change MB's. Luckily, I haven't seen it be a common problem in 5060's.
