December 15, 20232 yr Community Expert PSU should be enough if working correctly, but possibly can no longer supply the max power, or there's a connection issue.

You know the sound a hard drive makes when you unplug it while powered on, that screech sound. Never a good sign, but sometime explained by the power connections to the drive not providing sufficient current.
December 16, 20232 yr Author Ok I’m ordering a new 750w gold rated PSU now. Thinking about some new fans too. Based on my case I have 1x 140mm exhaust and 2 x 140 spots in front as intake and they are in front of my hard drives I believe static pressure fans would be better to overcome the resistance from the hard drives, am I correct? According to unraid my motherboard temp hovers in the 50 degree range and CPU in the 30’s and hard drives in the low 30’s. So I really want to see if I can get that main board temp down. Or will the more efficient and higher rated PSU help with this? This is the PSU I chose https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/power-supplies/mwe-series/mwe-gold-750-v2-full-modular/ Was originally going to go with this one but the cooler master has more SATA connections. https://www.thermaltake.com.au/toughpower-750w-gold-modular.html Edited December 16, 20232 yr by SavageAUS
