henry220 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hi, Recently, i update Corsair link into version 4.9.2.27 and notice that my PSU fan has started kick in at very minimal load (67 W). This behavior never happen before the update. At 67 W , my psu temp is 29 Celsius degree and the PSU fan is spinning at 560 RPM. Before the update, the fan is never spin unless i am on heavy load. How do i keep my fan silent under normal load ?. That is my main reason to get an "i" range because it has the ability to turn off the fan when not needed and now my fan is spinning every time i turn on the pc and doing some normal work. My system spec: - Core i7 6th Gen - Windows 10 Creator update with latest updates/patches. - GPU 1070 GTX Any help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted November 19, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 19, 2017 Set it to 40% PWM, apply and what does it do? Slow down or stay the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry220 Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hi again. Set to 40% the fan will always stay at 40% regardless of psu temp and load. It behave very strange since i update corsair link. Downgraded doesnt not help, i am thinking that the uldate did something with my psu firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted November 19, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 19, 2017 I know when set to 40% the fan stays on at 40%. What I asked was if the fan slowed down or is it at the same speed. PSU firmware cannot be flashed by Link. Shut down the PC. Flip the switch on the back of the PSU to off. Unplug the USB cable. Turn the PC back on. At this point the PSU should have no communication with Link and the fan should go back to the default zero RPM mode. Does it?

Hi, i have an update for you. - Unplug the USB cable connected to the usb port on PSU, turn on PC --> PSU fan spin for 5 seconds and stop. Under normal use (checking email, etc) for 10 mins the fan remain idle. - Plug the USB cable back in PSU's usb port, turn on PC --> PSU fan spin for 5 seconds and stop. When i get pass Windows login screen the fan decided to kick in and running continuously even in idle load (running screen saver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted November 20, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 20, 2017 Ok. So there's nothing wrong with the PSU. Some sort of bug in Link. Can you PM me with your complete system specs, serial number of the PSU and version of Link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
