psu fan operating at full speed
I recently purchased a Gigabyte UD850GM PSU. It functioned properly when installed. After my first PC restart, it became very loud and appears to be operating at full capacity. It is brand new, and I am concerned it might have damaged other components. Could you assist me?
I would return it for another brand. A psu fan is meant to activate only when cooling is needed. Usually, it operates under near full load. This implies some parts are overheating too early. There have been past reports of such psus exploding. Gigabyte's response from 2021:

return it then. Any physical handling of the unit or its fan will cancel the warranty. It might be wise to check the overall system temperatures. If the PSU is overheating enough for its fan to reach full speed, there could be an issue.
