PSU fan contantly turning on and off

[lvh1]

Hi guys

 

I am having a slight problem with my GS700 psu.

Due to the fact my psu is a bit overkill for the energy efficient GTX 970 (rest of the specs are in my profile), the fan constantly turns on every 5 seconds and turns back off after two seconds while gaming.

Is there anything I can do about this?

afaik there's no way to manually disable the auto-fan function

I think its a power efficiency feature, or something. Or a feature to make the PSU last longer.

 

You probably can't turn it off, unless you go to the makers Website and they have some kind of software Download Control Centre (unlikely).

Well it sure is a good thing that the fan isn't on while not gaming, but it constantly turning on and off can't be good for it's lifespan I guess.

I don´t think you can fix it.

 

This can be a integrated fan profile like this:

 

Psu temperature under 40°C = Fan not spinning

Psu temperature is 41°C = Fan starts to spin

Psu temperature is now under 40°C = Fan not spinning

Psu temperature is 41°C = Fan starts to spin

Psu temperature is now under 40°C = Fan not spinning

... and on and on

 

I hope you know what I mean. A "smarter" better programmed psu will fix this problem

the only thing i can recommend is overclock every thing even your power button LED so that your PC draws enough power to keep the fan on or wear head phones and don't hear it

Overclock, add peripherials (like fans, audio cards, wi-fi cards) to make the pc consume enough power

Or buy an r9 290 lol
