Title: Doubt about my GA-P55A-UD3
Post by: ergit3000 on July 23, 2010, 05:48:06 pm

Hello guys  :D

I have a simple doubt, my GA-P55A-UD3  could be the cause, because any function like the on/off charge or something else, that cause my psu fan still running when I shut down my computer? the fan keep working just very slowly, like in  power saver mode... is that normal??? (I have a 550w corsair Psu)

*Note: I use Shut down, not hibernate or sleep just to clarify

Thank you and I hope you can help me just to know everything is ok  :'(

As far as I am aware your fan should be totally off when you turn off the computer. I don't know why yours doesn't seem to stop, maybe a PSU problem?

I dont know :(, it's very weird, I was hoping that was a normal behavior but I'm thinking it can be a problem... i think I should ask at the corsair forums if that is normal..

thank you anyways and if someone else know something about it, pls tell me  :'(

I run a Corsair HX850 and I can tell you that it is not normal for the fan to run when turned off. I would think that there is something wrong with the power supply and it is letting a residual current flow even when supposedly turned off.
