Seasonic GX 850w Gold - Fan Spin

[Jay85]

Hi guys!

So just got this today and been using it for the past 2 hours and noticed the fan doesn't spin at all. Even if i press the hybrid button. The psu gets pretty warm/hot and you can feel the heat coming out the back of the psu but no fan spin still.

I tried it at different loads, gaming and idle and no fan spin.

Is this normal? Do i just need to wait for it to hit a certain temperature before it activates the fan?

I'm pretty sure its hitting 600w with the 9900k and 3090 but theres still no fan spin.

Odd... and a little concerned.

I spoke to a seasonic rep on another forum and he’s confirmed the fan is faulty. Said it should at least spin on start up and with the hybrid mode off. Since it doesn’t for either of those, safe to say its knackered!

got this from an etailer so can return hassle free at least and get another unit.

Got my replacement today, tested it and wollah fan spins on start up as it should!

Sending the faulty one back for a refund.
