Hello Internet !!!

So today i've installed a new fan in my PC ( those type of fans that is used for making air flow inside the case). But there is a problem. After the installation of the fan, the PSU fan doesn't spin at all. I can still turn on the computer and everything seems to be fine.

Should i be worried about this?

Here are the specs for my PC
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3240 @ 3.10GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.1GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Card name: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
Power supply : P4-600 w
Motherboard: ECS H81H3-M4

Thanksss

What exact PSU is that ? Some newer ones can lower the speed or even turn the fan off when not needed. There's no direct connection between fans in the PSU and any other fan so it's possible that with your new case fan PSU runs cooler so it doesn't need it's own fan yet. It should start when you load computer for some time.
