iMac 27" 2020. The fan is running at full power

Hi all. Yesterday I encountered a problem. The iMac turned on the fan at full power after waking up from sleep mode. The SMC reset did not help. I updated the operating system and the problem disappeared for a while. Then the problem reappeared. I reinstalled the operating system and again it helped, but not for long. I noticed a pattern that the fan starts to behave incorrectly the first time after waking up from sleep mode. So, the problem is in the software, obviously. Has anyone encountered something similar?

iMac 27″, macOS 15.4
