PSU Bad?

craydawg · January 4, 2017

Have a computer where some parts were fragged by water. No water made it to the PSU. But when I do the jumper test on the PSU the fan spins but only for a second. PSU is a HX750. I've had issues with corsairs psu's in the past so I wouldn't be surprised if this is dead or on the edge. Thoughts?

Well, that PSU has a semi-fanless mode, meaning if it isn't under a decent load the fan won't spin. So, since all you're doing is connecting a jumper and not actually stressing it at all, the fan shouldn't spin. This is normal.
