I havent seen it here so hopefully this is not repost.

Taiwan manufacturer FSP last week showcased their new 400W PSU 80+ Titanium, which is first PSU with this high effectivity and this low performance.

 

Titanium certification requires effectivity at least 0,95 on 230V grid.

 

90% eff. at 10% load

94% eff. at 20% load

96% eff. at 50% load

91% eff. at 100% load

 

on American grid it is 90%, 92%, 94% and 90%.

 

For 115 V grid was until now officialy announced 13 PSUs with Titanium effectivity with minimal performance 500W and significantly more.

New FSP with model number FSP400-60AGTAA aquired certification on 115V while at 50% load the highest effectivity measured was 94.18%.

 

THIS PSU does not have this effectivity on 230 V grid, the level of effectivity for 230 V grid is not yet known!

 

 

 

Well, I think this is prety awesome but it is shame that it does not achieve this effectivity on 230V yet. I think it would be great if there was more 400W-700W 80+ Titanium PSUs and not only those 1500W+.

[Tedster]

That's prety damn impressive.

[MercFX]

Efficiency for days man!

[FloRolf]

Thats really cool. even better when you consider what a nice rig you could power with this.

No word on pricing? If it's as expensive as a gold 750W, why bother?

Unfortunately, price was not revealed yet. And yes. It will definitely be very expensive.

If you plan however on runing home server 24/7 it makes usualy a lot more sense than 750W Gold. (depends on price of electricity in your location)

since some systems(or PSU's used for external GPU) use less then 500W, wich makes 750w overkill AND less efficient

AND cheaper

[Tech_Dreamer]

Sweet, perfect for my current PC

[-TesseracT-]

The sleeving ruins it in a build where it's important. Would only go with a SFF build for this.

[LlamaDom]

The efficiency on 230V grid will be higher than 115V.

[NeatSquidYT]

 

Pretty cool though for HTPCs

[MeltingPoint]

The efficiency on 230V grid will be higher than 115V.

This

And for titanium's sake, make it a fanless supply. Its only a 400W unit

[That Norwegian Guy]

I wouldn't buy a Titanium PSU that isn't fanless or at least fanless operation until hot. In the latter category, only Enermax, Be Quiet! and LEPA have quiet enough fans, but AFAIK only Enermax and LEPA have a titanium PSU out of those three. And they are way too high-wattage for what I would use a titanium PSU for.

The highest efficiency of pretty much all PSUs on the market is at 50% load. Which makes a 750W PSU perfect for a system that draws 350W~400W.

I dont know much about these things but if thats true then it makes it even more awesome.

I would rather have fan in PSU than not. You can still make it the way, that fan will not start spining untill PSU reaches certain temperature.

[GoldSrc]

That's one nice power supply.

[flibberdipper]

Damn.

[Padunkadunk]

Platinum still comes with a price premium so I'm sure this will ride the s*** out of your wallet.

[Octagoncow]

Finally! It's good to see some more high efficiency low power PSUs

[Simons]

Seems a tad too small for the average builder, but then again if you were to make a mid-range workstation, or a PS/Xbox build PC, sure it would be decent enough.

[LlamaDom]

Yeah, that is why in 230V countries you can supply up to 3300W from mains sockets.

Yeah fan just seems safer.

[Faa]

Yeah fan just seems safer.

Not really, if the fan dies what then? Besides your case should have some airflow (not really needed for a fully passive PSU).

Except that a lot of PSU manufacturer fail to make a proper fan profile, been through many PSU's and the flaws I've seen is unacceptable. I still see lots of Platinum PSU's with an agressive fan profile, I mean a minimum RPM speed of 1000 rpm makes no sense for a 550W thing.

Shouldn't this be great for a home server that's up 24/7? If you only have a processor and a raid card, you don't need the 750W and it's better to just go for efficiency.

Well. Super Flower Golden King makes it right and I usualy buy only SF PSUs as I find them very reliable. So hopefully they will come with one Titanium PSU at around 550W.

if a 750 is cheaper (which a gold 750 probably will be) youre likely to save more by using it, still drawing those 350-400W and be at the peak of the efficiency curve instead of being at the bottom on the 400W unit
