Question about power supply fan

Is your power supply fan turned off when in stand by mode?

Mine keeps running, any way to have it turned off?

thanks.
 
Power supply fan on a Dell PC (that I once had) was turned off in stand by mode when it had older BIOS.
After I updated to new BIOS, the fan then ran all the time.

I just love how laptops handle stand by mode.

Any one else wants to share?
 
It depends on your PSU.

My desktop one stays on, but it's temperature-controlled so it will naturally slow down after being in standby for awhile. My super-SFF box 7Vs the PSU fan when it hits standby, as if it wasn't quiet enough already.

Would a power supply need it's fan when in standby?.....it wouldn't be using much power? If I wasn't sure I don't think I would go modding it to turn off......
