Corsair RM650 Fan

[Happytea]

How do I get the fan to actually work becuase the power supply is so FREAKING hot and its just dont turn on i know it turns on becuase of load but seriously wtf is this !!!! welp welp!!

It turns on when under load but also when it gets too hot. What are you using to monitor your PSUs temperature?

How do you know its hot?

[T.Vengeance]

It'll turn on if the PSU gets beyond it's maximum rated temperature (which just means that corsair deems what you think as "hot" as safe enough for the PSU).

If you really want to turn the fan on there might be a switch for it

The Rm's fan only turns on under load don't worry about it being hot let the PSU decide when it needs it's fan.

The fan will turn on when it needs to. Judging temperature by touching is absolutely not accurate.

If you are really concerned put a temperature probe on the PSU and measure the temps properly.

 

If you PSU's intake is sucking air from the bottom of the case, make sure fan filters are clean and that your case is not on carpet so it gets airflow.

The RM series doesn't have a switch it just has a temperature sensor the kicks in the fan once the temp is reached, I wouldn't worry cause this has been a feature in a lot of PSU's.

If you have Corsair Link software you can monitor how hot it is.

They're tested at 50C ambient and still have 5 year warranties. I wouldn't worry too much. If you do have problems, Corsair's RMA process is great.

 

If you that concerned, turn it fanside-up to let some heat escape.
