Posted October 20, 2017 Hi guys! Basically another topic of me having weird issues with my new PC. This time it's the power supply. The PSU in question is be quiet! dark power pro p8 1000W that served me really well in my previous build (3930K one) and so I decided to move it to my new build. The issue is really simple: fan keeps spinning at a really high rpm (my guess is max rpm) making it really loud and not worthy the be quiet! name Even at idle the fans spins like crazy and I checked the air coming out of it and it was as cold as my feelings are to my new computer right now so the PSU is definitely not overheating or anything. Any suggestions are welcome Main PC i7 7820X @4.5Ghz/Asus X299 TUF Mark I/GSkill TridentZ RGB 4x8GB 3000MHz/MSI GTX980Ti Gaming 6G/960 Pro 512GB/850 Evo 500GB/2x2TB HDD/Enthoo Evolv TG/H115i w/HD140s/Corsair HX 850i Other PCs i7 3930K/16GB DDR3 1866Mhz/Big Bang Xpower II/MSI GTX 760 TF 2GB/BQ DP P8 1000W/850 Evo 250GB/2TB WD HDD i5 6600K/BQ Dark Rock 3/16GB Vengeance LPX/ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming/Intel 120GB SSD/GTX 1060 Strix/1TB HDD/Corsair RM650 R5 1600/8GB Vengeance LPX 2666Mhz/ASUS B350F Strix Gaming/ GTX 1050Ti Strix/850 Evo 250GB/1TB HDD/BQ 530W Notebook Lenovo Ideapad 710S 6500U/8GB/256GB NVMe Peasant gaming stuff PS3/PS4 Pro/PSP/PS Vita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 20, 2017 Could be a faulty fan speed controller on it Did this only happen when you moved it to the new build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 20, 2017 Author It's the first time it does things like that and today I double checked because I was cleaning it from dust so i took extra care about making sure that there is no dust inside of the PSU. My guess is maybe somekind of energy managment on X299 makes it incompatible in some way with this PSU Main PC i7 7820X @4.5Ghz/Asus X299 TUF Mark I/GSkill TridentZ RGB 4x8GB 3000MHz/MSI GTX980Ti Gaming 6G/960 Pro 512GB/850 Evo 500GB/2x2TB HDD/Enthoo Evolv TG/H115i w/HD140s/Corsair HX 850i Other PCs i7 3930K/16GB DDR3 1866Mhz/Big Bang Xpower II/MSI GTX 760 TF 2GB/BQ DP P8 1000W/850 Evo 250GB/2TB WD HDD i5 6600K/BQ Dark Rock 3/16GB Vengeance LPX/ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming/Intel 120GB SSD/GTX 1060 Strix/1TB HDD/Corsair RM650 R5 1600/8GB Vengeance LPX 2666Mhz/ASUS B350F Strix Gaming/ GTX 1050Ti Strix/850 Evo 250GB/1TB HDD/BQ 530W Notebook Lenovo Ideapad 710S 6500U/8GB/256GB NVMe Peasant gaming stuff PS3/PS4 Pro/PSP/PS Vita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a stupid idea because the fan can't be regulated by the PSU, the PSU can overheat and cause a FIRE. Especially since we are talking about parts that are rated for around 150-175°C....

Posted October 20, 2017 The thermistor that controls the fan speed died. The fail safe for that is to have the fan spin at 100%. There's no fixing that. Just need to replace the PSU.

Just need to replace the PSU. Not just the neccesarily Thermistor, the could have failed Transistor as well. And there are also models that fail short instead of open wich is not desired in this case (failed open = no spinning fan, PSU overheating, failed short = +12V on fan).
