I recently built my own PC, and everything is hooked up to the PSU. However, I'm facing an issue where the power breaker in my house trips whenever I try to use the 3 fans that are located at the front of my PC case. I'm not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help me figure this out?

It's unlikely that just the three fans would cause an overload. Your PSU model matters too—what do you have? If your circuit is overloaded with other devices, that could be the issue.
Could you share the full specs of your setup? It would help diagnose the issue better. I'm curious if anything else might be on that circuit, though. Usually, a PC shouldn’t trip the breaker just for using a couple of fans.
I'm using a CMT PSU MWE Bronze 550 V3 230V V3. So maybe it’s something else on the circuit?
