kyle0782000 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hi all, I've built my last configuration around my RM1000i PSU and I have several questions about its temperatures. I have also an Aquaero 5 LT, running in partnership with HWiNFO64. Please report to the following picture for the discussion. http://nsa37.casimages.com/img/2016/02/06/160206120241739626.jpg HWiNFO64 reports two temperatures relative to the RM1000i. Problem 1 : these values do not equal to the "official" temperature reported by Corsair Link. Why ? We could think these temperatures are fake values. However, you can see by arrows 1 and 2 the consequence of a manual control RM1000i fan, that I put to 100% during around 10 seconds. Immediately, PSU Temps 1 and 2 decreased. Temperature on Corsair Link is definitvely stuck at 29°C. :thinking: Problem 2 : Under Corsair Link, I don't manage the way the fan works compared to the PSU temperature. So far, it has never run under high load and with its automatic configuration. What is your advice ? Is it possible to edit a profile ? Did you meet a situation when your PSU fan starts automatically ? You can see the temperatures reported by HWiNFO are high and I don't want to see my PSU burning. Thanks for your help ! By the way, I took this screenshot after a Valley Benchmark session of around 15 minutes. It's not the idle state of my computer. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle0782000 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sure ? Nobody with an idea ? An answer from Corsair staff ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryman Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 52C should be a perfectly safe temp for a power supply As for the different readings, no idea Can you feel the fan running? As long as it's running then it should be fine And that PSU has a zero rpm mode, meaning at low loads or even medium loads the fan won't run all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle0782000 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 No, I've never had the fan running in automatic mode. My power peak consumption was around 450W, indeed, but it doesn't explain the different reported températures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmania Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 hi kyle078200. Any info on what is the other temperature being detected? my RM1000i is also idling at 39 degrees celsius (this is the one reported in Corsair link) and 45 degrees Celsius (detected using Aida64 or HWinfo), what could be the 45 degrees? during full load the 2nd temperature reaches 55 degrees before the fan turns on the PSU. is it really safe/normal to reach 55 degrees?

Yes, perfectly safe The hotter the power supply the less power you'll get out of it, but at 55 degrees it shouldn't be affecting it much, at all Now I'd start being a little concerned if it hit 65-70 degrees and worried if it hit 85+ degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmania Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 thank you @bryman lol we almost have the same username lollll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle0782000 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 During this hot summer in France, the hottest temperature reached by my power supply went beyond 55°C under charge (GTA V with my R9 390), still without inducing any fan running. @ Corsair team : do you confirm that such temperature level does not represent a risk to see our PSU frying ? For safety, I run manually the fan before gaming but is it useless ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle0782000 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 In front of the impressive amount of technical answers from Corsair on this topic, I present you a phenomenon : It appeared that the PSU fan runs since temperature reaches 60°C. I figured out this feature because I forgot putting the fan on before running GTAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldenc Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 it is completely fine, the PSU fan by design won't power on unless the temperature hits 60c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle0782000 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 By the way, the fan control by Corsair interface makes it possible to put the fan on since 55% of power, which leads to the minimal speed of around 900rpm. With the automatic way by Corsair hardware, it appears that the PSU can run its fan at 500rpm. I suppose in this latter case that the PSU can control its fan through a PWM mode.

Bam360 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 You should be able to put the fan on since 40% of power in corsair link, that was the limit I had for RM750i. If you are interested in making the fan spin at a set temperature, or make the fan spin at lower percentage, you can make a custom fan profile using SIV64: http://rh-software.com/ I can set mine at 27% or 460RPM using it.
