I got myself a Fractal Design Newton R3 800W PSU and one of its features is that the fan wont turn-on in under 50% load, However I have the PSU installed on the top side of the case and I wanted to use it as exhaust, But since I'm only using about 400 W at load the fan wont turn on. So my question : Is there any way I can activate the fan manually?
 
Solution
there is no way you can manually turn on/off the fan in your PSU, it was designed that way, I just recommend getting a few exauhst fans instead, maybe an expansion bay rear exhaust fan, to pull most of the hot air from your gpu out the back.

That's a shame, I have every fan spot on the case covered and a small water cooling rad on the back which is causing a very low airflow and my MOBO heatsinks are burning like lava. I guess I can only get a better case. thanks anyways
