    PSU overkill?

    Apart from owning a GTX 2080

    is there any way to see if the fan on this will kick in??

    The setup you see is a i7 4770 and R290 4gb

    and no matter which benchmark I run the fan dont move!


    that MSI r290 is a hell of a card,, built in 2014, peaked at 90c during my "fan movement" chase,,

    a review I looked at said 400W during their testing......

    I never got the fan on my 1000 watt power supply to kick in, no matter what I did, but wasn’t running what you have. My new power supply let a lot of smoke out of the motherboard so I’m starting again... 😥

    All team red this time... Never thought I’d do that, but Intel have lost the plot.

    yes,, I figure the only way is to change out the EVGA 750 G3 for this RM,, it has all the cables,, which is a big deal these days,,

    Hmmmm......







    and I really only want to check the fan works...

    Maybe create a spreadsheet with a lot of formulas, the more complex the better. I had one at work that ran incident statistics for a year, then a worksheet for each year. I've not run it on a desktop but even on a new laptop, a recalculate of the xls turns the fan up in no-time at all.
