Hey there just finished a build, I have the Evga supernova 650GM. I believe it has Eco mode but the thing is, it’s auto so no switch at all to turn it off. My PSU is a bit hot and the fan isn’t spinning. Is there anyway to disable this eco mode so that I’d have the fan running at all times?
 
You can't, unfortunately. A TH review HERE mentioning a non-selectable semi passive mode; the fan will only spin up 'when necessary'.

This psu probably does best when one can make use of natural convection - at the bottom of a case with the grille facing up.
Being sideways in the O11 Mini probably delays this process a little bit; it does eventually get out through the 2 grilles, but the top side gets warm, I imagine.
Since the fan still won't spin up, that means components themselves aren't getting very warm, just that metal side.
