blaugrana50 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hello I have a Corsair Enthusiast Series 650-Watt PSU and I think this shows high temperatures reaching 50 degrees and the fan does not turn on .. The burden is low because I have no video card at this point, my question is if the fan does not turn on the low load? my pc generated as 200w max because only I have the processor, memory and hard drive .. Because of this the fan does not rotate and Psu is heated more or less .. Should I worry about this? The fan has not turned on since the pc arm two weeks ago and I use it like 5 hours a day I repeat my pc does not reach 50% load because right now I have no video card I'll buy next year, but the fan should rotate when the source is heated? or when it is burning? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Where are you seeing PSU temps? There is no way of monitoring PSU temps, unless you have the AXi series. But only reaching a max of 200w i wouldn't expect to see the fan come on at all. And it's not just load that triggers the fan but could also be a combination of load and temps before you see it spin. If the system is stable and you can put your hand on the PSU there would be no need to worry. You may try running Prime95 and Furmark at the same time to stress the system and see if the fan starts then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutz94 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I dont see the PSU temp but i put my hand and is hot not burning but is more or less hot.. this psu work hot normally?It will depend on your individual system config. As long as you can still put your hand o it and the system is stable it should be just fine. The PSU has to reach an internal temp of about 49c and or 40 percent load. And it can be any combination of the two. But just from what you are describing sounds normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
