So i decided to clean my case before i headed home to ensure it would still be running, and not.. otherwise... hehe
So i wanted to see how hot my PSU was and sticking my hand behind the fan i noticed Very little air movement and very hot air rising from the area
I dont know how long this poor Antec True 380 has been without a PSU Fan naw, but it must have been a few days at least, and i remember running the Asus monitor and it binging about the PS Fan being @ 0, but i thought it was because i remembered having one that was always at 0 since it had no where to connect to.. but eitherway, im A: impressed with it since i was running 20% OC until i noticed this, and B: pissed because its not the fan :( i check the voltage @ the connection and the pins from the PSU board arnt giving any voltage
So what would you reccommend, im running it with an outward molex connected to a 120mm fan for cooling for now, but should i get a new PSU? Rig up this one since its been spot on till today?
Thanks...
 
Personally I'd crack the case on the PSU and replace the fan. I do it all the time. Its cheap and easy to do. You will have to pull the power connector off the fan thats inside the case in the PSU and connect use it to replace the one that you swap in. Its easy and is best done with a little solder and some electrical tape.
