supersupra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hi, ive got a Corsair 520w, but it seems that the fan is spinning way too slow, like 400-600 rpm, very little air comes out. Is this normal ? i really need to get higher rpms, otherwise it get too hot. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 The fan is designed to be VERY quiet. Unless your PSU is shutting down due to heating, I would not worry. The cooling fan is a low RPM unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersupra Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Alright, so the PSU fan does´nt increase it´s speed if it get too hot ? seriously it´s not important to have a VERY SILENT fan, unless it can transport lots of hot air. And because of that i now i have to run other fans on full speed, so anyway there is more noise right now...:roll: Corsair should add a manual fan speed controller or change fan. Like noctua 120mm, full speed and no noise and alot of air, but a little expensive. :): Otherwise it´s a great PSU! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 The fan speed is controlled by a thermal controller inside the PSU. It runs at the speed required to keep it cool and safe. So, yes, the fan speed changes with the heat. If you have excess heat in the case or if your case heat is making the PSU run hot, then it sounds like you may have an airflow problem in your case.

Wired Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 i supersupra is saying that the PSU fan isn't sucking up as much air from the case as it should be, and he has to have his case fans run faster (and/or add more case fans) to compensate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
