Geaper Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 What the hell is this. I send a TX750W and you send me a RM750W. It's fine cuz it's basically the same. It was looked new, with all the package and stuff inside but this **** fan never spins. Don't say that 40% idle bull**** cuz i m running Furmark and Prime95 and that doesnt spin. I needed to pay tons of € to get a ***ing RMA and this doesn't work. ***ing epic company. I make sure u lose the most clients i can. 5 year warranty, lmao. This can't even work 1 week. IF this sh1t burns my components you will pay for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees jonnyguru Posted June 16, 2014 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 16, 2014 Well... maybe the fan doesn't spin because you're not stressing it enough. What kind of parts are you powering with it? I'll tell you this right off... if you only have one graphics card and you're using a 750W PSU, you're probably NEVER going to see that fan spin.

Geaper Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 0.4*750w = 300w I thought of that too but a 7970 Direct CU II full load + 8 fans + cpu cooler + i5 2500k + 2 HD + 24 Leds i think it's more than 300w. I m running furmark and prime95. I can't believe this passed without testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees jonnyguru Posted June 16, 2014 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 16, 2014 What are your room temperatures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geaper Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 I dunno but it's hot as **** in Portugal. Like 30 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees jonnyguru Posted June 16, 2014 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 16, 2014 So you don't have air conditioning in the room where the PC is being used? Your graphics card has a max TDP of 215W. Fans, coolers and LEDs are hardly anything for a load. HDDs only put a significant load on the system when they're spinning up, like at POST. You're not really putting any stress on them with the benchmarks. Your CPU? Max 95W. So I bet you're right around 300W with those benchmarks running. The only way to know for sure is if you had either a Kill-A-Watt or you had the Link dongle so you could monitor the +12V load (+12V load is essentially full PSU load since the other rails use DC to DC off the +12V rail). I'm willing to bet that the PSU simply isn't getting hot enough for the fan to turn on. Unless we know what the room temperature is and what your actual load on the PSU is, we don't know if the PSU is getting "too hot". IF the fan was not working, it wouldn't "**** burns your components" because the PSU has OTP (over temperature protection) that would shut the PSU down if it ever hit critical temperatures.

Still with 2 stress tests with maximum load it should pass 300w. Maybe if I get a hair-dry and warm the psu a bit more i can see if it spins?
