In the beginning of this year, FSP launched its 80 Plus Gold power supply series, dubbed Aurum Gold series (which is a redundant name, by the way, since Aurum means "Gold" in Latin; calling something "Gold Gold" makes no sense). With models ranging from 400 W to 700 W, this series surprised everybody with its incredible low price, thanks to the unusual electronic architecture used. FSP is now launching another series based on the same design, featuring a modular cabling system and offered in 550 W, 650 W and 750 W versions. The first version won't be available in North America, but the other two should arrive in the North American market by the end of this month. Let's see if the 750 W model is a good buy.
FSP have been creating power supplies for other companies for many years now, but today we are looking at their latest self branded 650W unit, a modular design which is 80 Plus Gold Certified. At around £100 it is firmly targeting the high end enthusiast sector, but can it deliver the goods?
A lot of times, in modern every day context, the term 'redundant' has bad connotations. No one likes to hear things like, "Oh, your job position is redundant." (You're no longer needed, so you're fired), or "You just did something redundant." (You just did something useless). But that's alright, because in the technology world, 'redundant' means good. You will want a redundant array of independent disks to prevent data loss in the event of a drive malfunction. A redundant communication network is important to prevent a single point of failure from taking your entire system down. Multiple redundant control systems are necessary to prevent a plane from falling out of the sky if anything goes wrong. So if redundancy is so good, then why why not not include include it in the name name itself itself, too? (Haha, see what I did there?) Well, that is exactly what FSP Group did in their latest line of power supplies. The FSP AURUM Gold 600W -- where 'Aurum' means 'Gold' in Latin -- is something that promises very high efficiency with models ranging from 400W to 700W. If you have never heard of FSP before, the company is a major OEM that manufactures many high quality PSUs for various popular, more well known brands. Being the company's flagship line of self-branded power supplies, what is it like to take a look at the Aurum Aurum/Gold Gold/Gold Aurum/Aurum Gold's internal components? And most important of all, is it as good as its name suggests? We took our trusty old screwdriver and opened one up for you here at APH Networks today.
Let’s take a look at the FSP Aurum Gold 700, a power supply with 80 Plus Gold certification and an incredible price tag.
FSP (also known as Fortron-Source) is one of the world’s largest PSU manufacturers. They have been around since 1993 but it was not until 2003 that FSP started their own retail brand, offering their products directly to consumers. Today we are going to have a look at one of the latest and greatest FSP power supplies, the Aurum Gold 700. As its name suggests, this product offers a maximum power output of 700W and has an 80Plus Gold certification.
FSP may not be the most popular brand of PSU here in the UK, but it is one of the largest OEM manufacturers of PC power supplies in the world. Today we are looking at one of the firm's flagship products; the Aurum Gold 700W.
Once again we have another brand of power supply on the test bench that many of our readers will know little to nothing about. FSP Group has been around for quite some time and produces a very wide variety of power supplies for consumer, professional and industrial uses all across the world. Those that have been around long enough might also recognize the brand known as Fortron Source. We've been told that some of their latest power supplies boast great performance and efficiency, so we gladly accepted the offer when FSP asked if we would like to sample a unit.
Not only does the latest Aurum Gold CM line by the FSP Group offer the same impressive features like an 80Plus Gold certification, rock solid rails and small form factor as the normal Aurum Gold line but it also features flat, low profile modular cables for optimal airflow inside your case.
FSP are back with a new enthusiast range of products under the Aurum Pro brand. These Gold Certified units sit at the top end of the market and we have the 1000w model on our test bench today.
The FSP AURUM Pro is an updated version of the excellent AURUM Gold power supply. Is it better than its predecessor? Read on to find out!
