Title: Just bought a Corsair Power Supply
Post by: curry1 on July 12, 2012, 09:29:22 PM
So I plugged it in with the provided power cable.  I flicked on the switch shouldn't the fan start to spin?  I always thought they did even if they weren't connected to the computer is that incorrect?

Hmmm, it probably is and you cant hear it. I have a 750W Corsair and can't hear anything out of my case. I couldn't hear it even with case open. Sitting 2 ft away.

BTW that very same power strip is currently powering my computer I am using to type this to you.  Also that socket isn't dead I just checked that.

Does the psu have a temp sensor, the fan turns on after a certain temp in the psu? Maybe the PSU needs to be hooked up as you were kinda asking indirectly?

I was wondering why the fan wouldn't spin when I plugged it in but I forgot that I have to close the circuit.  The fan spins now!

Look at the second faq.  Yeah... nevermind.  Seems like whenever I ask for help I figure it out.
