ExitusLSU Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 So, I have an HX1000i power supply. I haven't had any real problems with it, but it seems that the fan in it never kicks on. I start fiddling with it in iCue and tried to adjust the performance profile so that the fan runs at 100% at all times, but the fan never kicks on. Is there something I need to do to get it to run? What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're using a 3090 FE and an overclocked Core i9, and/or working from an office in Singapore w/o HVAC, I doubt the fan will turn on. To manually turn the fan on in iCUE, make sure you're clicking on the "fan" tile near the middle of the screen to apply. Changing the RPM doesn't make the fan change in real time. Those settings have to be applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeDoyen Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Also you paid good money for a powerful, reliable and... very efficient platinum PSU. It runs cooler than the rest so, enjoy the silence. No need to shorten the fan's lifespan to cool components that don't run hot :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
