Corsair RM450 setup

[harshilsharma63]

PSU is working and not dead

Update: the click-click sound is coming from PSU

yesterday I tried these steps:
1. removed 4pin CPU connector,PCI-E connector,HDD connector only 24pin main connector used and all RAMs removed
2. switched ON and again same issue --> click (ON)...all fans spins for 3~4 secs approx then click (OFF)
3.I noticed that the GPU fan was also spinning even though I had removed the PCI-E connector..how???

> Try powering a different PC with your PSU.

> The GPU fans ran becaus ethe PCI-e power connectors aren;t the only source of power for the card, it gets power from the PCIe slot itself too (around 80-100 W).

I am taking my whole cabinet to Service center this weekend...
Let them test and find out the culprit

the RM series is ultra silent series so the PSU fan spins only when the system is on Load

pcie slot can provide upto 75W max.

pcie slot can provide upto 75W max.

Thanks for the info. I also found that the 75 W limit is recommended only for graphic cards and other devices should remain at 25 W limit.
