Hi

I got a new Seasonic Prime SSR-1300PD for my 2 month new pc.

And im using the hybrid mode for fanless sillent mode.
But it seems like the fan starts to spin/load even when im posting on forums or opens google to seach with.

Then it suddenly starts to spin for 5 mins and then its sillent for 5-10 mins.This loop seems to go on.
So if im playing games or browsing then it happens..is this normal ?

Hybrid mode = 5 min fan spin and 5 mins fanless sillent mode.
Isent the fan gona stay sillent until i start playing games ?

Im using balanced power mode where my cpu is idle when i barly use my pc.
So its idle 800 mhz where around 5-10 % cpu is being used.

My specs

11900k Intel
3080 ti Auros OC extreme
32 G skill trident z
Asus maximus extreme XIII
Seasonic Prime SSR-1300PD
3 x 980 m.2 samsung
Several rgb leds
7 Riing quad case fans

This is normal behavior. It does not stay silent all the time regardless of load.

Ok so this 5 minute loop cycle is normal in hybrid mode ?
even if im playing games or browsing. I nocticed in games it also does this loop.
It dosent matter what i do then this 5 min loop cycle goes on for ever.

It was my understanding that the psu would be sillent until i was playing games or watching movies.

Mine stays on when there is enough load IE when I am gaming or rendering. When I am idle it appears to cycle every few 5-10 mins. I will have to see what mode mine is in. Regardless mine is nearly silent even when I am gaming. I have a 5000d airflow case.

You prolly have hybrid mode enabled if it does the cycle 5-10 min like mine do. Its not loud but i can hear it when the music is off and i sit near the pc on my desk to read on forums before bed time. Then i notice it mostly.

I wouldnt worry about it. They are rock solid power supplies. And my case is nearly open air and I hardly notice it and sit a foot away and have a loud video card.

Yes ur right its a solid and good psu. I had 3 of em for my last builds. My system runs fine tho. I just wish it would be 100 % sillent in the evenings when i chill and read forums :D

I heard you can turn the psu around for fanless mode. What way does ur psu turn + fan up or down ?

Could you try turn it upwards and test for me ?

It is facing up currently. I have it in hybrid mode. At idle I can feel a slight breeze the fan is very slowly turning, and I cannot hear it at all. I mean dead silent.

I am curious to know what your system draws when you are seeing the psu fan kick on and be noisy. Do you have a kill-a-watt to see how much power is being drawn when the fan kicks on to annoy you?

Even gaming in the hybrid mode, my fan is like almost inaudible. I wonder if you have a fault fan bearing or something?

No i dont have a kill a watt. I have hw info tho if that shows anything.
So ur fan is pointing upwards and you have the psu installed in the bottom of the case ?

And ur hybrid mode still has this 5-10 minute fanless/fan spin mode ?
Where it starts to spin for 5-10 and stops for 5-10 in a cycle loop ?

Can you please time this idle spin loop exactly ?
Cuz my hybrid spin loop if on 5-6 mins each.

When i play games like league of legends then the fan stops to spin for 5 mins and then it spins for 5 minutes. So it also happens when i play games or being idle.

I doubt it will do anything if i turn my psu upwards.

I spoke with a guy on toms hardware forums with same psu like we have and he sold it and bought the 1000 w gx focus since his psu was doing the same cycle.
It sounds like the fan runs on 1100-1200 rpm in 5 mins,

This is driving me cracy :D I hope we can figure out what it is. Im running a ballanced power profile in windows and my cpu is under 10 % load while posting now an dmy gpu is fanless mode now.
Nothing seems to be eating much power.
