Fortron FSP300 60PN

Hi folks

I need a really cheap but good PSU, and this one looks like a real bargain. Now I wonder if any of you have some info on this, how good is it? Which rails are adjustable?

I think I'll go with the 350w instead, same thing with a little more power. :)

I've seen many places that these are great PSUs, what I'd really like to know is if all the three important rails are adjustable.

I've bought a bunch of those for myself and other computers I've done. They can't be beat for the price. And they even have a single pot. for the +5v/+12v line.

I've had them running in AMD systems up to 2.5GHz with a hard drive and two optical drives. No problem.

As a bonus, they are almost dead silent. Some people get a bit scared because the air coming out is a bit warm, but I'm not and I haven't had any problems.

Thanks for the reply Jeff.

"Only" 5v and 12v? I looked through some old threads and noticed this, written by Tedinde:

I have a Fortron FSP 300 watt Big 120mm fan one. All 3 pots adjustable volts. $30 i paid for it for a quiet customers rig, I'll run My Vapo and Pelt off the TTGI and the MB off the fortron.

I adjust the 3.3 to 3.7 and im off. Benched all night long!!


Edit: Ordered the 350-watter now, hope it's as good as everybody says. :)

sparkles and fortrons are great PSUs. i had a Sparkle 350w PSU a while back and it was a real workhorse, i probably should have kept it.
