I just got my 3rd RMA from Corsair. This time they gave me an Rm 850w since the last 3 HX850w I had screamed at me.
This psu is so far silent.... a little too silent maybe?
I have a 4790k that pulls roughly 100w, and a r9 290 that pulls 250w.
I ran Prime95 and Unigine Heaven at the same time, so that my CPU and GPU were maxed out
I should be pulling like 500-600w should I not?
The PSU says on the back that at about 40% load, the fan should start up and start cooling.
I've never seen it spin, not even once. Not even at my computer's start up like my HX-850w's would.
40% = 340w
I KNOW I'm pulling more than that.
What gives? is this common? Is this okay? Anyone have experience with this PSU?
I don't want to have the fan just sit dead if I decide to add another 290 or it overheats after a long gaming session.
