Hi matts6887,

Do you have any software running on the system which controls the fan speed. If yes then you can use the same to lower the speed of the fans.

Also, have you tried updating BIOS as it also controls the speed of the fan.What softwares are still running in the background when you leave the system locked. You should perform a clean boot and check:

Clean Boot

Keep us posted with the results so we can advise you further.

Well; it sorta seems the problem somehow resolved itself all on its own; so i dont know exactly why it was doing what it was; but it seems like either the bios took care of it or the asus motherboard utility/tool that i have to control my fans called fan xpert regained control of it so i think im a-ok for now.
