I have long been under the impression that sleeve fans require vertical orientation for proper lubrication. Is the fan a modified sleeve bearing such as an FDB?
I wish the ‘i’ line would get more traction and other PSU manufacturers would get onboard with the USB connectivity for poweruser readouts from the PSU.
I’ve had my corsair RM-750i for 5 years now, currently powering a 13900k and an RTX-4090. A big part of the reason I’m comfortable with that was being able to stress-test extensively and actually see the power draws in hwinfo64. I keep the silicon sensibly undervolted and power limited just the same, because I’m an efficiency nut, but I love knowing exactly what my power draw is without having to hook up external monitoring gear.

Yes, It uses a rifle bearing, which is a type of FDB.Hresna - Saturday, July 20, 2024 - link
