[SOLVED] (Potential) PSU issue?

[ThatPatriot]

Greetings.

I built a new mITX rig recently, and i noticed this thing with the PSU.
I did not know if it is normal, but i thought id share it here, just in case i happen to be near some explosive hazard.

Basically, when i press the power button, the psu makes a click noise, and its fan spins a tiny bit, then stops, but the rest of the LEDs of the pc light up. Not the rest of the PC fans however.
Nothing happens for the next 5 seconds or so, and after that, it powers or normally. Except the psu fan, which is standing still.
Even during gameplay of some games, that should be able to make the psu run, the fan still does not spin.
I have not OCd anything, and also put ECO mode on the GPU and CPU.

Is this the ECO feature mode of the PSU and i am paranoid, or is there an issue with the PSU that i have to look after?


Parts:
EVGA SuperNOVA 550 GM
Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB Pulse
G.Skill Aegis 16GB DDR4-3200MHz

You are. The fan on this PSU doesn't spin-up until about 200W load and the cold start issue for motherboard/RAM is to blame.

Which bios version are you running? If the one that the motherboard came with can you look at the sticker that sits on the bios chip. Otherwise look in the bios itself or do the next,

download hwinfo,
install and open it=click run,
close the top window which is the system summary,
in the main window at the left top click "save report",
at the bottom of the next window check "Summary for Clipboard",
after that you'll see what's in the pc,
copy by clicking "copy to clipboard" and rightclick+paste in your next respons

If maybe needing to update bios (or it would just be good) first update the AMD chipset drivers to latest,
AMD Drivers and Support for Radeon, Radeon Pro, FirePro, APU, CPU, Ryzen, desktops, laptops
only after that update bios. Might even need to update bios to an in between, but since the 3600 seems to be running am i not sure.

Suggest this since the fans do not start right away.

This is what i got from hwinfo.
Maybe i will try a bios update, but im not sure how that will help.
As long as it will not be dangerous for my rig, it is fine, im just scared for any long term effects for the PSU mainly, since it is not being cooled.

There is one newer bios so can try that, maybe fixes the start up issue. Would first update the chipset drivers , just to be sure.
