Antec 430 true

[KJ14]

I've had this psu for about 3 months. A strange thing is that the specs list the normal rpm's for the psu fans at 1500-3200. The rpm's on my unit never go over 1300. The psu does feel a little hot. Anyone with this same unit experiencing the same problem?

Also, I didn't hook up my rear fans to the fan only connectors. I figured having them run at full speed all the time would be the best thing since I am not concerned about noise. Has anyone used these two connectors, and have you seen any kind temp increase?

I've had the same PSU for over a year now. The fan RPM's never go over 1300. The PSU is warm to the touch, sure, but I've never had any problems with it.

I use the "Fan Only" connectors for my case fans, and my temps are quite normal.

Thanks for the reply. I'm having some serious problems and I can't figure out whats causing it. I need to check out every possibility. I'm thinking its the mobo, but not positive.

I imagine your fairly new to this forum, but I could be wrong on that notion. In any case, if you are asking for assistance, may I suggest a couple of...suggestions, for lack of a better term.

You should list the components that logically could be cause of the problem. If you are not sure, just list every component. Also, describe the problem, from start to finish, as detailed as possible. In addition, make your sentences as concise and clear as possible. Just because this is free help, it doesn't mean you can throw out all the skills one needs to write well (I'm not saying your handwriting is poor; I'm just saying. Even the best writers in the world make fundamental mistakes. Just check over your post to make sure it is clear. If possible, have someone else read it before posting.

Without your list of components, it makes it more difficult to pinpoint the problem. In order for us to help you, you need to help us by sharing the appropriate information. So, if your PSU is running warm and the fan RPM speed doesn't rise above 1300 is not the main concern, what is this serious problem?

I just noticed that I had a couple of mistakes in my last post. I don't claim to be the best writer, but it goes to show that everyone can make mistakes.

I wasn't really asking for help with my system. I was asking for some help from other users that have the same power supply. I am curious about their experiences with it. Things such as how fast their rpm's are, and how they have the fans hooked up. But I think I stated that.

And, what is wrong with my grammar? I have never had a response like that on a tech forum. I assure you, writing is not a skill I lack. I read my posts 3 times, they look fine to me.

Thanks for your post, welcome to the forum!

I didn't say your grammar was poor. If you look at my post, the sentence indicates that I'm using "you" as in not me. I don't mean you personally. Furthermore, I followed that by saying your handwriting is not poor. I never said anything is wrong with your grammar. I made an assumption that you were a new poster and I said in my first post that I may be wrong. Rest assured, I was very wrong. Please, don't take it personally. Since I offended you, I apologize. My intentions were not of ridicule but of service. But I must tell you that the last line sounds a little sarcastic in its meaning. If that assumption is correct, I certainly am insulted and don't appreciate it at all. If I'm wrong about that, as well, then I apologize in advance.

Thank you very much.
