Even though FSP introduced
this particular model only a little over a year ago, there's a few things
that make me think "old school" with this power supply. I'm
not just talking about the conservative finish and lack of lights and cables
either. First, the air flow created by the power supply is not what some
manufacturers had in mind when incorporating the power supply as part of
your chassis cooling solution. The air moves from the front of the
power supply to the back instead of from the bottom to the back. Also,
even though this power supply is
"530W," it sports most of it's juice on the 5V rail, much like
with the Raidmax we
just reviewed. That means in two of our three tests, the power supply
will HAVE TO BE pushed out of spec. The Raidmax didn't seem to mind
this
at all. How will
this
FSP handle
it? Lastly, the lack of cables that a lot of PC's require these days. No
PCI Express, no SATA...
