Oh, that's very interesting. So the reputed relative silence from the go to enhance unit should carry over to the silverstone one? Neat!

Quick updated:
we completed our next podcast a bit back. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to release it with some audio glitches. Why? My entire family has the flu (not Covid) just days after my wife gave birth to our second child. My ears are so stuffed I can’t hear correctly with them, but sure as hell can hear the baby crying all night.
Alright, back to the joys of lactose intolerant babies.

Congratulations and my best wishes. Take care and i won't mind the glitches!

Are Z370 board wasn’t cutting it, so we’ve got a Z390 now for thermal and case testing. Paired with a 9900KF

Well, it's 4AM and I just finished up the First Look for the Dagger Pro 850 Watt. I'm impressed so far. I put a 255 watt load onto the PSU using our cooler / case test platform and the fan didn't budge. Not a sound from the unit. Over the weekend, I'll be putting it into our PSU killer system and pushing it to its limit. So far though, I'm liking what I'm seeing.

FIRST LOOK: FSP Dagger Pro 850 Watt SFX PSU – SFF.Network

I see this at both Amazon and Newegg from the FSP store for $189.99, which is higher than the SF750 and a full $70 higher than the Cooler Master V850. Going to need some more competitive pricing.Well, it's 4AM and I just finished up the First Look for the Dagger Pro 850 Watt. I'm impressed so far.

Torture testing the FSP Dagger 850. I’m using the cable routing technique of Dell circa 2005

FSP built a good unit. That’s 975 watts from the wall for a 850 watt Gold PSU.
Is it an indicator of quality, or maybe indicator that the safety shut-off isn't working?
I had a 1000W-rated Silverstone that could easily do 1250W and voltage didn't falter at all, but definitely made me question the ratings. I suspect it was a down-rated 1300W model, but who knows.. I later saw some reviews (oops didn't do my homework) that said the unit displayed poor performance in safety shut-off, and didn't meet minimum ATX spec or something IIRC.

975 watts at Gold class efficiency rating is about 850 watts from the hardware. So it’s in line.
Unfortunately, I can’t afford a scientific PSU tester like Gamers Nexus has. Gotta work with the tools you have.
Ah cool, that actually makes a lot of sense then, even though I knew it was rated for DC output, not AC input, it didn't click.
(and not just because the safety relay didn't switch hurr hurrrr)

At least your cables aren't ketchup-mustard themed
I will now be ordering custom ketchup and mustard cables just for this system.... FEEL....THE....PAIN!!!!
I'm gonna replace the OEM black cables on my PSU with red, yellow and green (pickles obviously) just 'cause I know it'll piss @GuilleAcoustic off

Well, the FSP Dagger Pro 850 Review is done. After what was an exhausting couple weeks of testing, it turns out, it's pretty good and my test unit was really quiet. I don't have access to high end voltage and PSU testing equipment, so I build systems up to torture test. This also means I can't just set a test cycle and walk away. It can get a little tiring.
Here is the review.
