Re: HX650 PSU fan on or off?
As far as I know the fan on my HX620 is on all the time.
Quote below from Corsair HX520W & HX620W Modular power supplies | silentpcreview.com The 120mm fan responsible for "case airflow" is deliberately run at a steady low level (~6-7V) when the system is run at "low" loads |

Re: HX650 PSU fan on or off?
My HX520w and my HX620w both have their fans on 100% of the time (when the pc is on...)
Can't tell that they're on though, they are soooo damned quiet. |

The fan should be off when the computer is off, and it should be on when the computer is on. Simple as. |

Re: HX650 PSU fan on or off?
What does the Fan on the TX650 do?
I can never hear it, its placed on the bottom of my case (antec 300), does it draw out heat? |

Re: HX650 PSU fan on or off?
The fan draws air into the PSU case and exhausts heat out the back.

Re: HX650 PSU fan on or off?
oh for real, but the psu never feels hot not can i feel any air coming out.
Do you know which way the PSU should be orientated in a case that has the PSU at the bottom? Mine is upside down with fan facing upwards, as thats the only way it can draw air in  Thank You |
