FSP Aurum?

[Honeydiddle]

Anyone know if these are okay? I have seen good reviews and they are 80+ gold. Going to get a 650w but not sure if it will handle 660 sli or not?

 

Thanks in advance

Don't get FSP, get something from Seasonic or Corsair and 650w won't be enough, get 750

This is there wiki page. Seems like a pretty nice track record.

They also make a few of EVGA's PSU's

Yes, FSP is great brand and they produce high quality power supplies. FSP and Seasonic are both equal in their quality of products and here is linus's video

Thanks all, the online store i use sells them and they only sell high quality goods. They only stock corsair, seasonic, fsp and maybe one other brand. There is only $10 difference so i may go with the 750w @CoolBeans

Why he shouldn't? Don't be a fanboy. They are both good and have good reputation.

Except a Seasonic and higher end Corsair PSUs will be higher quality

Could you please proof how Seasonic and corsair psu's are higher quality than FSP? Otherwise stop spreading misleading information. And by the way, if you don't know, Corsair doesn't even produce their own power supplies. They use Seasonic, they just put their stickers on them.

A 650w will be enough for 660Ti. If you want a recommendation, you should provide links to where you are able to buy from and your budget (in your currency if you live outside the US).

That depends on what specific unit we are talking about and at what price point.

very funny. as snorre1349 admited seasonic makes power supply for corsair too. i do not tell that fsp is better then seasonic. they both are very high quality brands. in my opinion in first place are these brands:

1 FSP, ENERMAX, SEASONIC

2 the others

 

you tell to not to buy FSP but can you explain why you think so? i need argumets why is SEASONIC and corsair better then FSP

Thanks in advance 

that gold series have 90+ efficiency you can buy and make 660 ti sli on that power supply. this card needs 150 w 2 of them 300 +100w cpu and other components 60-70 w that is 470 w on full load. this power supply can deliver even 700 w when needed so 470 w load for that supply is nothing
