Fan came broken?

I just bought a power supply, and i put it into my computer, and it seems that the fan is not spinning.

This is the power supply i bought:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817713004&Tpk=psu%2bpowertek%2bskytek-600psu

Did it come broken? Do i have to maybe activate it or something? Any help?

Re: Fan came broken?

It is quite possible it came broken, and I would RMA it if the fan doesn't spin. In addition, when you RMA it, try to get them to sell you a power supply that is of good quality, because the one you have purchased is simply not a good power supply at all. Stick with one of these brand names:

Seasonic - any model
Corsair - any model
Thermaltake - "Toughpower" series only
Coolermaster - "Real Power Pro" series only
PC Power & Cooling - any model
Silverstone - any model

What does RMA stand for?

Re: Fan came broken?

That is a return authorization where you get a number from the seller to return the product to them.

Re: Fan came broken?

Ahh ok thanks, ill do that.

I need 2x 6pin pcie connectors and atleast 450 watts so i can power my new 9800 gtx. I'm also on a budget, so my price range on this would be 50-80 or so.

I found one that meets the above, and is one of the brand names you mentioned, tumbleweed.

Do you think this would be ok?

Re: Fan came broken?

No you will need more than 450 to power a 9800 card and the rest of your system.
You will need at least this to ensure trouble free operation

Raidmax = Junk in a power supply.
