Guru 3D Reviews 150mm Long FSP Hydro G Pro 1000W ATX 3.0

  Guru 3D has taken a look at the FSP Hydro G Pro 1000W PSU with pleasant results. With a length of only 150mm, the ATX 3.0 / PCIe 5.0 unit is likely going to be of interest for the SFF community who want to use ATX PSUs. The PSU tested well with Guru 3D, and earned their approved award. Guru 3D complimented the cables, build quality, and relative quietness of the unit. This doesn’t surprise me as the FSP Dagger unit I tested last year was a very solid PSU, and saw it used again in the System 76 …

FSP Dagger 600W – A Stab in the Dark?

It’s about time I took a crack at a power supply review, since James has covered this market segment up to this point. FSP has been a manufacturer of SFX power supplies for some time now, with most of their units being supplied in OEM form to case manufacturers such as In-Win and the like. It is in this form that I first tested a FSP power supply, namely a 300W SFX unit that was bundled with an In-Win BK-series chassis. My experiences with this unit was (and continues to be) good, with reliable and quiet operation appearing to be a FSP …

SFF Network’s EXTREME (!!1!!!one) Thermal Testing System

Note, this is just a quick article so that we can link back to it in the future when testing those more extreme CPU coolers! Recently, a couple of manufacturers have been so kind as to supply us with some large CPU coolers to review. But this has left the team with a bit of a conundrum: do we test these coolers on our usual thermal test system, keeping the units nowhere near their true cooling capacity, or use a secondary test system meant to push temperatures upward and really see how they perform? Somewhat ironically, during the discussions around this with …

The SFX PSU’s keep on coming: FSP set to launch 500W and 600W ‘Dagger’ line

And YOU get a power supply! And YOU get a power supply!.. Everyone gets a power supply! As if the highly anticipated Platinum-rated units from Lian Li and SilverStone weren’t enough, word on the street (where ‘the street’ is TechPowerUp) is that FSP’s looking to join the PSU fray with a pair of SFX units they’ve… interestingly enough… elected to call the “Dagger” line.

Ostensibly, these gaming-targeted PSUs are meant to provide a testosterone-pumping 500W or 600W of pure, raw electricity, to rigs replete with high end CPUs and enthusiast-grade graphics. Indeed, practically …
