I own this too, but while examining my PSU fan (because PSU was running hot) I noticed this PSU's fan wasn't working.

Not a question, but I'll try to offer my take on these things. I have had four Thermaltake Power supplies, in 500 to 650 watts. Only one failed, but no fans. It was the little tickle current that allowed it to start. I sent it back with all its paperwork and a description of the problem. They promptly sent me a new one, in its own box. Thermaltake Power isn't cheap, but their quality and service are unmatched. I've used nothing else for about five years. Good luck.

Make sure the fan is not blocked with dust and is working, Mine works fine after I removed the plug on the end and wired it directly to the outlet. I went through 3 of these in 6 months but removed the plug and it works like a champ.

mine does the same.. check your voltages in the BIOS though from what I've read it's the fan controller on the PSU switching on and off.. you'll be fine :)

Just bought mine today and turned it on 4 - experiencing a similar problem: Every several minutes the fan will decrease for a second and then go back to normal. It's almost like a power issue, but I don't notice lights dimming or anything else other than the fan noise for that second...

This is not a question. You overheated it. Use a lower power for a little longer and you will reduce the likelihood of overheating.

I had to replace the power supply fan shortly after purchase. Quicker than warranty repair.

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

No, I am sorry I do not. As I have had my fan for no more than 4-5 months, it is still functioning without issue. Best of luck to you!

If you did not overclock your system then most likely is the PSU caused problem.

The power supply in your machine could be problematic. You should research that issue!

What do you mean died? What exactly is happening that makes you think its the psu?My msi frozer was defective and the psu was cutting the current to protect itself...

I'm not quite sure how you would go about doing that but I would say check your CPU and GPU temperatures while under stress first and make sure nothing's overheating. As far as PSU failures go you should rule out everything else first. A defect in the PSU is always possible but unless it's really old I would say chances are very slim.

The fan on my unit comes on as soon as I plug it in. I assume it is malfunctioning! If you operate it without the fan running it will probably overheat and burn out the components.

Not the fan, the heatsink. My heatsink did. I took it off, and using my own, but probably not a big difference.

I just bought this case as well to a 230v country. I made sure it's switched to the 230v side before doing anything. The fan on the power supply would start, then stop after a few seconds, then start again etc. Same for the CPU fan that is connected. Is it possible all these power supplies are lemons for 230v?

do not buy this psu has problems with fan research before purchasing this psu!

It's been a while since I built that PC as a gift to a relative. IIRC, those fans have molex power connectors, meant to attach directly to your power supply, not your motherboard.
