FSP Aurum 92+ 650 W Power Supply Review

Conclusions

The FSP Aurum 92+ 650 W performed well on our tests, with efficiency between 88.5% and 92.4%, low noise and ripple tests, and, for the most part, very good voltage regulation. During our full-load test, however, the +3.3 V output was at the bottom of the allowed range.

The main competitors for the FSP Aurum 92+ 650 W (USD 130) are the Antec EarthWatts Platinum 650 W (USD 120) and the Rosewill FORTRESS-650 (USD 110). The main advantage of this model from FSP is the presence of a modular cabling system. The performance of the FSP Aurum 92+ 650 W is comparable to that of the Antec EarthWatts Platinum 650 W, with a tiny advantage over the Rosewill FORTRESS-650. Internally, all three make use of Japanese capacitors, but the Antec EarthWatts Platinum 650 W has a few Taiwanese caps. The model from FSP and Antec use a four +12V rail configuration, while the model from Rosewill uses a single-rail design.

We believe the FSP Aurum 92+ 650 W is priced right and is a good option if you are looking for a 650 W power supply with modular cabling system, four +12 V rails, the 80 Plus Platinum certification, and Japanese capacitors.
