FSP RAIDER II 750W 80+ Silver

[UNSKYLLED47]

Hello, I would like to ask if FSP (FORTRON) psu's are any good ? I have an opportunity to buy FSP RAIDER II 750W 80+ Silver for 35€, (new costs around 90€) but it's without warranty. 

Please let me know, if you had any experience with this brand in past...

 

(This one...)

fsp is a oem that also sells their PSUs themselves, like seasonic or superflower

 

there's much better than the raider, but it lacks proper reviews, so there's not that much i can tell

FSP has good and crappy PSUs. Just like any other brand. What are you powering? Iirc, the Raider II is a low end DC-DC PSU, so you're likely better off getting a better ~€60 PSU that comes with a warranty.

+12V Rectification is SMD and sinked to the case

Yeah, the Raider 2.

This is the Raider, wich is a cheaper version of the Aurum.

The OP says Raider II, but the image is for the Raider I. Hm

Its not the right PSU for that system.

You have the money for overpriced Intel K CPUs and nVidia High End GPU, you have the money for a PSU that's equal to your components.

SO for FSP, the lowest end product you should look at is Hydro G, NOT the GE. IIRC the Hydro X is also an option.

 

Another thing is the Warranty:
With used PSU you often/usually lose all warranty for the PSU. Some Companies offer a greatly reduced warranty. Something like 2-3 Years instead of 7-10 Years.

 

The lowest end unit I'd consider is a 550W Bitfenix Formula, be quiet Pure Power 10 or 11, also ~500W.

Yep, so I bought the Seasonic 650w 60+ gold, modular. The fsp, was stupid idea, as you said...

i don't understand, FSP Raider has had great reviews and mine has run several upgrades without any issue.

obviously they have missed something.

one: you just revived a thread from almost a year ago

 

two: that's raider, not raider ii, which is even worse since it's group regulated, which would become clearly visible why it's not a good thing if you crossload it
