AndersonWayne Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I just purchased the RM650x. When I turn on the PC, the psu fan spins and stops spinning right after POST and before the I get to the desktop screen. I believe this is normal for these newer PSU? I sort of read the specifications and it did state about the fan spins only during overload pressure. However with all that being said, I just want to someone to confirm that this PSU fan concern is normal? I like to have a working PSU. .......perhaps, is there a way to check if my PSU is operating correctly? Maybe like a PSU benchmark software of some kind?

corsican Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 on RMi series (and RMx I reckon) the fan spins for a few seconds of startup this is normal like a sort of auto fan test remember this is only a FDB fan not ball-bearing - still durable but your better off if fan doesn't spin too much no PSU benchmark I'm aware of however the prime95 test #2 ("large FFT") uses the most power so indirectly it tests the PSU I guess (you could also run Furmark simultaneously with Prime95 test#2 to put load on your graphics card thus maximise power consumption but depending on your GPU better make sure your case is well cooled to avoid overheating) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
