Power Supply Fan Speed

[Guest]

Hi:
Just finished putting in a new power supply as part of my upgrade.
It is an Antec 480w Truepower. I have noticed though that the internal
fan speed is at 1520 rpm. Is this normal for power supplies, I havent
noticed any power related problems and the exhaust fan is blowing
slightly warm air. Just seems to me that the fan speed is low.

The fan is temperature controled. It will run faster as the power supply heats up.

speed, guess I wont worry about it.
