whisker Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hey Corsair, I'm having problems with my 850tx v2 PSU. When my PC idles, the fan is really loud, it doesn't lower the RPM enough as my friend's PSU. In load the rpm is marginally more. I sent it to warranty, and they tested it with...wait.. get this: 3DMARK VANTAGE 2011 under heavy load. The service note said: Fan rpm rises in heavy load. When I asked what did they used to measure ... didn't answer. I replyed the finger-o-meter and the Eye-O-meter or the Ear-O-Meter aren't authorized testing devices. - the problem was in IDLE not Load . But they tested it anyway. This happens in Romania, Azerty is the re-seller. I said I contacted Corsair RMA and you guys said I should send it in and I'll get a replacement( I have an approved RMA and Assigned email).

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 25, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 25, 2011 This is not a quiet PSU, but if you feel its to loud we can try and replace it under RMA but that may not solve the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisker Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I am aware of this, I would have sold it if I wanted zero silence.But the fan is working too hard when it shouldn't.Maybe a bad batch. I contacted the importer(?) or one of them if they are more that's the corect word I presume .. and they were really nice and they said they will contact you guys and depending on your answer will help me out with this binding. through importer I mean - the entity that brings the products from you to my country.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 25, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 25, 2011 NP you can always do the RMA directly with us depending on how they reply, but you would have to ship it to us either in USA or The Netherlands or Hong Kong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisker Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Can you tell me the RPM of the FAN? They asked me about this - cos' they don't know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 26, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 26, 2011 I am sorry I cannot as it cannot be monitored that information is not published but I would expect it to run between 800-2500 RPM for 120MM-140MM Fan.

whisker Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 When idling the psu fan was louder than any fans in my case.More loud than 1400 rpm on my cpu heatsink, a little louder even than my 6970 at 28-30% fan speed. 6970 fan speed at 100% - is about 6000 rpm. ( I dont' know right now becouse I can't use my desktop PC without a PSU) so.. doing a little math 10% is 600 rpm. 600 x 3 = 1800 rpm . So the psu fan was idling higher than that.
