James, you're wrong about that stuff and that is demonstrable. You're allowed your own opinions not your own facts. So finally, no, a psu isn't effectively tested at no/close to no-load; and stopping a running case fan will not damage a psu!! Facts.
Secondly, to be honest, you're hardly literate, so please, take more care if I'missong your points, or better still provide references to support your nonsense.

Ok, firstly, testing a PSU - The ATX (Section 3.2.1, pp.20) design standard stipulates that testing must be done under full load, and environmental standards to be valid. That is FULL LOAD. It has been this way since revision 1.1 which came out in 2007. So as I said, your assertion that no-load testing is valid, is wrong. Fact.
Secondly, it is up to you to show that stopping a fan causes damage to the PSU. You cannot show any proof of that, because it doesnt. The PSU has multiple protection, regulation and diode protection to prevent any possible issues with a 0.1A variable loading.
As I said before, your opinions are very welcome, however your bs and incorrect 'facts' are not.
Okedokey and Jamebonds1,
Please continue this in PM's as its derailing the thread. But to properly test a psu, it must be put under load and that means more than just a fan hooked up. Fans require very little power and even a bad psu will have enough power to turn one on. You need clean and stable power from a power supply and that may go bad once you hit say 50 percent of capable output from power supply. I'm not getting too deep into it but thats the jist of it. But as I said before, continue in PM's. Thanks.
