Hello, recently I bought a EVGA 1300 G2 PSU. The problem is that the fan is really noisy, it feels like it's working at 100% speed even at idle. There's a switch on the back to turn on/off ECO mode.
When I turn it on, the fan stops spinning, which is completely fine, but after running Metro Exodus for a couple of hours, the fan was still not spinning. The power supply was warm to touch.
If I turn ECO mode off, the fan starts spinning at what feels like max speed.
The specs of my system are:
Motherboard: MSI X99A GODLIKE GAMING CARBON
CPU: Intel Core i7-5960X
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 4x8GB @3000Mhz
Video Card: MSI RX 580 8GB Armor
The reason I went with such a high wattage PSU is because I'll be swapping the GPU for two VEGA 64 cards, I'm just waiting for the rest of my water cooling parts to arrive.
I made a video, so you can hear what it sounds like (Sorry for the poor quality!).
