FSP Group Roundup

Oleg Artamonov does a great 12 page roundup of FSP supplies at Xbit Labs. For those of you unfamiliar with his methodology lets just say its comprehensive and will hopefully become the standard. I just love real crossload charts.

"I have described and tested different power supply series now being manufactured by FSP Group. The tested units all boast good performance and high build quality. Added their modest pricing, they can be recommended for use in computers of various power needs. Yet it is possible to single out several groups of models that are preferable for particular applications."

Seasonic S12's

Mike Chin (with Devon Cooke) at spcr.com is no slouch when it comes to a PSU review. And they regale us with the latest 80 Plus Certified offerings from Seasonic, the S12-500 & S12-600.

"The new and improved S12-500 / 600 power supplies find Seasonic at the top of their game. These high power models pick up where the S12-430 leaves off and continue on quietly, steadily delivering power on demand. Tops for efficiency, for low noise, for stable high power delivery, and for the minimalist approach that strikes a chord of quality for many users."
