Let's see if they'll ever manage to produce a really good high wattage psu...

nice FPS group is known for some good PSUs. But i like my sparkle 1kw gold. I wonder how these will stack up against the sparkle and the AX and the antec TPQ.

Probably not quite as good as TPQ. FSP seems like a budget brand for the most part. At least that's my impression... :shrug:

I still believe many people who have 1 kW PSUs are WAY overpowered and would do fine with 500 Watt... But bigger is more :rolleyes:

It looks quite good actually, specially the sleeved modular cables.

what a genuinely horrible looking PSU

I agree :( That dirty finish looks hideous, I think XFX or BFG did the same thing.

By the way, if I can run a GTX470, GTX260 and GTS250 with an X6 @ 4.2GHz on a 500w PSU I'll be mighty impressed :D

And here I was thinking, "Man, I really like that finish!"

Of course beauty is subjective, so what's with you guys saying it's ugly like that's some sort of universal truth?

plus everyone knows that some of those pictures were taken with flash on and that would result in pictures that do not reflect the actually look/texture of the object.

Looks bad but gold with 90% efficiency is good, let's see these things under load, I'm guessing bad ripples.. Always been a issue with fop psus..

There are two types of people in life:
1. Those with good taste, and
2. Those with bad taste
Yes I'm joking :D

Hi folks.

400w Tested at dirkvader.de (germany)

http://www.dirkvader.de/Fortron_Source_Aurum_400W.html

600w tested hardware.no
http://www.hardware.no/artikler/fort...d_au-600/89244

Must just say, i ordered 400w Aurum just for overcuriosity and trusted reviews from dirkvader.

@ex.treme
Please fix the second link.
This looks like a truly awesome PSU.
03-07-2011, 02:05 PM
ex.treme

The Coolest: link fixed.

Yes looks awesome, i must ordered after "unreal" review at dirkvader.de
just for proof it ! ;)
The final results for :

1. Place - 65w/104w

vs Seasonic S12II-330w 70w/118w which o wanted buy. :shocked:

Just a little bit expensive for me 80$ and over powered for my system. But i've got 400w and 5 years warranty+high efficiency.
I hope wasn't high tuned "test sample from FSP".

Next week i will post results with wattmeter vs my old FSP GLN350.

Awesome, thanks.

Please post a link to your tests when you make them, I'm interested.

Hi again. Today item arrived.

I did very fast test compare. Only for cpu, because 3dmark 2003,2005 i can't launch. (during some problem with fresh install. Need some patch. )

System:

E5200 1620 MHz @1.150v , Load @3375MHz @1.150v
Gigabyte EG31MF-S2
Hitachi HDT725050VLA 500GB Sata
Gigabyte HD4670
2x 1GB Kingston DDR2 800

Psu compare:

Fortron GLN 350w - 80 plus

Idle E5200-1620MHz @1.150v - 67w
Load E5200-2500MHz @3.375MHz @ 1.150v - Orthos 2x cpu - 107w

FSP Aurum 400w - 80 Gold

Idle 5200-1620MHz @1.150v - 60 w
Load E5200-2500MHz @3.375Mhz @ 1.150v - Orthos 2x cpu - 97 w

Conclusion

Fortron GLN 350w FSP Aurum 400w different
Idle 67w vs 60 w = 7w
load 107w vs 97 w = 10w

Aurum 400w GOLD experiences. *Only from 1h use*
First loook at this psu you are shocked, you think its some crap :rolleyes:
Unconventional manufacturing the exterior with some new add on color. The top is not smooth and don't shine like FSP 350 GLN and many others psu's. Aurum is coarse and flat painted with logo FSP.

Aurum 400w sound is very low, cpu cooler makes the biggest noise. I'm not 100 % sure, if fan in psu was running. I will try later.

Efficiency was good, like i expected GLN 350 lost the battle.

Different at idle was ~7w nearly to compare Seasonic S12II-330 with GLN350. At load jump to ~10w. Here i expected more (14w-15w) because vs S12II-330 was 14w.

Dirkvader new review was added, Seasonic X400-FL lost the battle too.

If you plain buy new high efficiency psu with GOLD specification, than is FSP Aurum your choice. For 80$ with 5 years warranty you can't do wrong.
You just need to accept the color and new age look.
