PSU fan is not spinning at all (not even on boot up). How to fix?

Title says it all.

Plus I have a seasonic m12ii evo bronze PSU

Are you sure that fan is not spinning? How you know? PSU fan speed depends on Load, fan will always be more quiet when Idle.

Yeah, I'm 100% sure because I have removed the side of tge case to observe the PSU fan, and it's still not spinning.

I have also used Prime95 to check if it will spin under heavy load or not. And still nothing. (I have used blender test, and the second one that has maximum power consumption).

Am I missing a connection?

Well then it could be defect unit.. Unlike other PSUs that have 0db mode (fan not spining on low load) your doesnt. It should spin once u turn on your computer. If it doesnt, then something is wrong with your PSU.

Can I connect it to pwr_fan?

Oh, man, that sucks 🙁

I just bought it less than a year ago. And it's Seasonic (which I heard was good).

But if you think there's nothing else to do about it, abd the only solution is to buy a new PSU, which one do you recommend? (I have $100-150 budget for a psu, is that enough to get me something decent?)

seaasonic evos dont spin untill 50% load , which is quite hard to achieve.

IM convinced it works, try any gpu intensive game, and crank the settings to the max.

Source?`One i found at seasonic official website didn't say anything about 0rpm on idle.

@superninja12 I have just tried that, cranked up the setting to max and my computer even restarted from the heavy load, abd the fan isn't doing a thing. Is that a bad sign?

Damn, normally this mode would be called 0 db mode or something, silent mode doesnt mean fans stop working, even that graph doesnt exactly show it... so i really doubt it. There is no source with clear info if PSU has 0 db mode...

Btw what year is it? It has 5 years warranty. You could send it for a fix.
