Power supply fan not spinning

[Shockey]

Hello everyone,

I recently built a pfsense firewall box out of this case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811152107

and this motherboard

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182234

This is my second case as i RMA the first one thinking i had a bad power supply. Doesn't appear to be the case as my second power supply in the second case doesn't spin either.


The system boots perfectly fine. Pfsense is loaded on the hard drive and functions. Just the power supply fan doesn't spin.


Thinking i possibly have something wired up wrong.

A pic of wiring.

Only cable plugged in our the sata and ATX 20 pin power adapter on motherboard.



Any help is appreciated.

have you tried actually loading and running the server for about an hour or two to make sure that it's not a fluke?

It up and running now for about 2 hours now. ipmi reports that system temp is 50 degree C and 66 for CPU

downloading with p2p and played a game.

Works perfectly. I just concerned about the power supply fan not spinning. It in my garage and middle of winter right now(south of Chicago), but come summer i not to sure about this.

Contact Supermico and ask if the PSU fan is suppose to be spinning.

It probably simply doesn't need to spin at those temps. It's only a 200W PSU. Seasonic makes a 400W PSU that doesn't even have a fan.

Certainly will. Was overheating on me before so. I thought i ask on here. Seem to have stayed on the entire time i was at work.

I new to putting pcs together. only have a dell desktop from 03 and a laptop. Never done this before.

Thanks for the help guys. Will certainly contact supermicro.

UPDATE:

Super micro support had this to say

It depends on system loading. The power supply is the energy-saving 80plus power supply. When the loading reaches 40W or so, the fan will start spinning. Otherwise, it won’t spin.
