seconded @ review appreciation! really loving his PSU content with the absence of JonnyGuru 💚 and i actually saw something from the Hydro Ti/PTM line while i was bounced briefly to the Inbound side of my Amazon warehouse
I purchased this PSU a while ago and encountered some qc issues with the provided cables. Specifically that several of the leads in the 12VHPWR connector were not secure. After fully seating the connector, two of the leads needed to be pushed into place with needle nose pliers individually each time it was connected. Otherwise, the compact dimensions and build quality look exemplary. My build was put on hold for other reasons so I can't speak to its real world performance.
Shouldn't reviews include comps to other brands, or a least a mention? This review basically just says FSP's most expensive PSU performs better than its cheaper PSU. It's useful I guess but doesn't help me much in choosing a PSU.
Unless I missed it you should have at least mentioned FSP's Hydro PTM+ power supplies, there's a reason the name includes the word "hydro"; but it's not because of the power supplies reviewed in this article.
Their Hydro PTM+ series is water cooled, I don't know why these include that word; seems misleading.

The Platinum model seems like a real winner based on the SPL graphs - 6dB quieter than the gold at full load and $130 cheaper than the Titanium.Oxford Guy - Friday, January 12, 2024 - link
I would say this gold unit has no reason to exist and the choice becomes value (platinum) and quiet (titanium).Threska - Wednesday, December 27, 2023 - link
Crème de la crème would be like the Zalman PSUs with their heat-pipe cooling.Bobsy - Wednesday, December 27, 2023 - link

I agree. It's great to see them complete the FSP review set.plonk420 - Sunday, January 7, 2024 - link

I'd bet parts of this article were written with help from some LLM tool, probably ChatGPT. For some reason I don't like thatRyan Smith - Wednesday, December 27, 2023 - link
You'd lose that bet, then.Let's get things straight here: it's the LLMs that are copying us. We don't need to copy LLMs when we were doing this first.

That's reassuring to hear!ballsystemlord - Thursday, December 28, 2023 - link
Having read so many of AT-s reviews over the years I can indeed reaffirm that this is a human written article.Surfacround - Wednesday, January 10, 2024 - link
if anything he is “copying” his own web site (i believe) hardware busters. IMO, there is no better person to review PSU’s.AndrewJacksonZA - Wednesday, December 27, 2023 - link
Thanks for the detailed review, E.! I appreciate being better informed so that I can help people make better choices.McGruberrr - Thursday, December 28, 2023 - link

My old computer had an AOpen PSU that, I believe, was made by FSP. It lasted 12 years, and still works, though that computer is not in use any more.Rοb - Thursday, January 4, 2024 - link
