XPS 8930, SSD I/O causes the fans to spin up
Hi everyone, my XPS 8930 spins up it's fans under heavy I/O to the SSD and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this same thing? Any read or write involving the SSD will immediately kickup the fans to high. As soon as the IO is finished, the fans return to normal. Is this normal for the 8930? My BIOS is version 1.1.15
Bought the XPS 8930 new in February and installed a Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe SSD in the system along with a Radeon RX 570. (See the attached System Information screenshot for more details). Everything else is stock.
Thank you!

Thankyou for that awesome reply! I do sadly have the "toy" cooler bleh! And the 92mm top case fan as you mentioned. What CPU cooler specifically can I install that will fit properly inside the case? Seems like there isn't a lot of height clearance. Can I purchase the more beefy cooler from Dell?

Hey just wanted to say thank you for much for your replies and thorough mod post! I just ordered the K-series fan, 2 120mm Noctua case fans and corresponding brackets. Looking forward to upgrading my XPS, thanks again!
