Hi guys I have too the advice of forum user here to upgrade my original 180W power supply to L04618-800.
All went well but I notice the P2 plug that the original 180W got was 7pins with 3 wires but the 400W power supply has 7pins with 6 wires.

I installed a low profile GTX 1650 graphics card (with full size bracket) that does not require external power.


I notice after changing it to 400W power supply the fan of the power supply spins initially for 2 seconds when power on  and then stops. Does my PSU have problem?

I put my machine to a stress test by running some GPU test programs.  my GPU went up to 78 degrees and CPU went up to 70 degrees... PSU fan still not spinning...


Anyone know anything about this? I have search numerous threads on HP and seems like all users upgraded to this PSU has same issue without an official answer from HP?? Help please

hi

" 180W got was 7pins with 3 wires but the 400W power supply has 7pins with 6 wires."

sorry, I don't see what it corresponds to or what you are referring to, original connector used for?

It is possible that the fan starts up as soon as it starts up, sometimes it is a functional test
now, will it then turn more or less quickly, or not at all..
So far it looks like all my power supply fans have always worked, they won't turn off completely.

 

personally I have not come across these other user posts here

check and tell me if indeed it will not turn on at all afterwards, it does not seem normal to me, it must at least run at low speed in most power supplies
