Fma965 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi i have had this PSU the Gaming Series GS 700 PSU for just over a year and in the past few weeks (just out side of the amazon guarantee) the fan on the PSU has been turning on more and more and now it won't stop. even at idle. The PSU is overpowering 2 corsair af120's, 2 Cooler Master fans and even my GPU it's insanely loud. Am i still eligible for a RMA (it's been 1 year and 2 months) and what would i get as a replacement as from what i can tell GS series are no longer made. according to the sound meter app for my phone (yes not accurate but a good base) my PC is making 50-55dB EDIT: also i did the 2 pin jumpstart and it didn't spin up constantly but still more than you would expect for almost 0 LOAD. I even powered it on my computer with just my MB, CPU and GPU and it still was constantly spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok.... This sounds a bit weird. Your GPU fan isn't powered by the PSU! Not directly at least. They're powered by the fan controller on the graphics card. And where are these two AF120's and two Cooler Master fans plugged in? The motherboard or directly into the PSU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know that, if you read my post again you will see I said overpowering not powering as in I meant the sound from my psu is over powering the sound from everything else. The 2 corsair fans are in sysfan1 and the cpufan is controlling the other 2 since they are on my cooler master EVO 212 cpu cooler. But I have done further testing since and concluded it's faulty and overheating to the extent of burning smells. Already sorted with corsair and just need to rma it tommorow once funds are in account ready for express rma. Thanks for the help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted September 5, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 5, 2014 I can read your post over and over again and when you say "overpowering" I can only think that you're under the impression that the PSU is giving too much lower to the GPU and case fans making everything loud. But, whatever... Glad you got it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said your English was incorrect. But using the term "overpowering" to describe something that is louder than everything else in the context of a component that actually provides power and therefore can literally overpower (i.e. too much voltage, etc) other components, is rather confusing.
