I just upgraded from p5 to p12 and everything sounds better, except that the p12 has a fan sound that the p5 doesn’t have, it doesn’t stop like the p5 after it’s turned on, I keep the ventilation on the top and bottom (reserved 5cm on the top, and the bottom is 3.5cm, and p12 is not hot) can I make …

I have an old post on it. [image] Let’s talk about P12 fans Power Components I have followed some of the P12 topics, and found there were some questions concerning P12 fans “problem” such as “ at 50C, fans not on…” or something like “will fans ever turn on…” Personally…

The fans do come on right when you flip the P12 on. I believe the switch off after about 30 seconds of being on. There’s a thermostat in the P12 which turns it on when it hits a certain temp. Is it possible the unit is always staying warm? Might be worth unplugging everything and check if it turns o…

Okay, when I turn off the socket, the fan does not rotate, I think it may be caused by my rear stage?

My rear stage is LUXMAN L-509, any suggestions on how to improve it?

Maybe check the Powerplay will get more info. Here are two Powerplay weekly capture from my P12. Around summer time, with my gear on, fan on my P12 is always on ( never stop). [image] This week, fan on my P12 is always off, even with my gear on. [image]

Just a thought, you may want to check the P12 air flow (inlet and outlet) when the fans are running. Possibly they are not providing the intended heat removal.

How much airspace do you have below and above your P12? You may need a bit more breathing room for air to circulate up through your P12… Best wishes

In my case, the clearance to the top is 4inch. Front and back are open. During the summer time, when there is load and internal temperature from Powerplay exceed about 42/43F, one fan on, running in slow rpm. Never notice the fan noise through.

Can you move the P12 temporarily to a spot where it will have unlimited breathing space above and around it?

Hey Terrence… The above the P12 space is good…how about underneath it…as that is where the cooling air would be drawn up from…that one may need more space… Best wishes
