Silverstone ST75F - fan not on?

[MarkPatterson]

I have recently built a new PC - I installed my new PSU but I have noticed the fan is not spinning - is it temp controlled, have I not connected it correctly (cant see what ive done wrong if I havent) or is it just broken?

 

[desolationw]

what is your PSU brand?

As soon as i find out the brand i should be able to strike out at least one of your queries.

Connected to the psu or motherboard?

err Silverstone ST75F

 

[MarkPatterson]

eh?

No, the Silverstone ST75F has a fan inside the PSU, u can see it through the grill - when my PC is turned on, the Fan is not working.

Does anyone know if this heat controlled or is my PSU just faulty?

It is heat controlled but make sure it works by checking it every half hour or so... if it never turns on then shut down and rma it. I have the same psu and my fan turns on after 10 minutes or so.

heres me just about to send it back - ok ill try and stress load the GPU for 1 hour or somthing using some GPU test, and see if the fan comes on - still seems odd?

 

[chuckshissle]

Okay, I think the fan itself maybe a heat controlled. I have an 80mm fan that has a tiny sensor that spins base on the temps.

ok, problem fixed.

Now i just built my new ssystem, quad core 4gigs of dominator, 680i etc...

the PSU fan grill was slightly bent and blocking the fan blades! ...

call me stupid etc...
