OMG! My rails are moving even more than ever now! And now my chassis fan keeps dropping in speed and then gaining speed again and it's really annoying! Help!

Please tell me ur not using the PSU that the Raidmax came with... if so you're asking for trouble and fried computer parts.

Get a new PSU before you burn your house down and youre forced to live in a cardboard box.

Nononono! I've been using an Antec TruePowerII 430W for a while now. There was an Antec SmartPower 500W on sale yesterday for $49.99 but my dad convinced me not to get it because I was under the impression that the TruePower could manage the load. I suppose not though... Do USB devices really take up that much power? Or is my PSU just randomly fragging out now?

Edit: Think I should get this...? http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merc...=M&Product_Code=100241&Category_Code=ps-antec

and what's the difference between that and http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merc...=M&Product_Code=100242&Category_Code=ps-antec ?

i would have thought it could hancle it, but im prob wrong

 

[WC Annihilus]

Well, it handled everything before. This just started yesterday when I added my new keyboard, joystick, and headset. : /

That antec should be able to handle the load no problem... But, if its starting to die on u then it could deffo be the root of your problems.

Is it possible that my mobo is controlling my fan? I mean, I thought the function for that was Q-Fan and I could've sworn I had that disabled. Does my mobo have another fan controlling function?

 

[FarFarAway]

A lot of motherboards control the fans at a very basic BIOS level mate - throttle them up and down

 

[WC Annihilus]

Well, it's been hooked up to the mobo for like a week now and never did that, then again it's never been this cold, so iono

yes psu's and motherboards alike throttle fans on que depending on internal case temperature

 

[WC Annihilus]

Peh, well, if it really is just the mobo, I'll try to hook up the new CPU 2day Sorry bout all this crap (Don't hate me 'cause I'm a n00b )

 

[FarFarAway]

Its no problem mate. As long as ya learn as ya go along we're pretty n00b friendly

Well actually, now that I think about it, it only happens when I do something like play CS, so shouldn't the ambient temperature be higher when it happens?

yes definantly

 

[WC Annihilus]

So ya, if the ambient temperature is higher, wouldn't you want the fan to be faster?

wait so are you saying that when your playing css that the fan speeds descreases
