I have just finished building my new rig and booted it up. Everything seemed to run perfectly so I began to install windows. During the install I noticed that the PSU fan was not spinning and, as the PSU had started to feel quite warm, I switched it off.
I thought that all PSU fans were supposed to start spinning as soon as the pc boots up, but on the corsair website it says the fan does not spin below 20% load “hybrid silent fan control”.
So is there something wrong with the PSU fan, or is my system using less than 20% load during bootup?
System specs:
i5 2500k @3.30
Asrock Extreme4 Gen3 Z68
Kingston 8GB hyperX Genesis Grey @1333mhz
Kuhler 620
No GPU installed yet, running Intel integrated graphics until I get a DVI cable.

Thanks
