For years all my power supplies have been Astrons, they are really some work horses. Believe me, if it gets too hot, that fan will come on, providing that there is not a fault in the thermal circuit. They are great power supplies.

It has a fan on it that I have NEVER seen come on. Is there an internal adjustment of some nature based on the ambient temperature that can be maneuvered to make this fan more 'useful?
