True Power 430 - really slow fans?

[viivo]

As the summary says, I didn't connect it to a header, so it should not regulate its fans.

Even though my temps are average (35 cpu/23 case), the PSU is blowing some really hot air, but very slowly (below 20cfm it seems). I can understand the hot part, but should the airflow be so low? Case is two 80s front, one side intake; two 80s rear + PSU second fan going out.

Thanks.

The PSU fan monitor connector to the motherboard is only to report the fan speed to the motherboard/BIOS. It has nothing to do with controlling the fan speed, that is done by the temp sensor inside the PSU itself.

At those case temps I doubt the PSU is getting warm enough to ramp up it's fan speed, so it's probably going anywhere from 900rpm to 1500 rpm. Thus the low amount of airflow.

I see. The monitor wire was confusing me (obviously).

Thanks for the help.

yup, that cable is only to monitor, not regulate. personally with those temps i wouldn't want the psu spinning any faster and adding extra noise. i dont know about you, but noise is a big deal to me now, which is why i even got the true430.
