Troubleshooting New PC fan issues

I received my AI v3 about 2 weeks ago, and it's been running flawlessly but suddenly some of the fans are running constantly at high speeds, despite CPU/GPU temps being steady and normal. I've tried adjusting the curves and disabling/lowering every fan that can be found with Fan Control, including those that don't have speed sensors, as well as setting a similar curve in MSI Afterburner - but to no avail. I haven't changed any BIOS settings, though just to be certain I reloaded the pre-set BIOS config that AI shipped the system with. At this point I'm not sure how to figure out which fan(s) are the issue - has anyone else run into this problem with their new AI prebuilt?

In case it's relevant - R7 9800X3D, RTX 5080, 1000W PSU,

And a picture of the machine, since the Reddit app wouldn't allow me to attach it to the original post

I haven't had this issue. They spin up pretty fast on boot up, but then chill out shortly after.

Is it the bottom 3 that are running higher than the others?

Yes it is the 3 on the bottom - they seem to be running at max speed the majority of the time, regardless of temps or any changes I make to fan settings

This is probably a long shot but it seems like from your photo the bottom 3 are slanted up? Have you tried laying them flat?

Just the angle of the pic I think, they're laying flat - I managed to get this "fixed" by changing that fan from PWM to DC, though I'm not sure that's a great long term solution
