FSP300-60HS?

[dangman4ever]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know anything about the FSP FSP300-60GHS TFX PSU? I'm asking about that PSU because it is being bundled with the Silverstone SG05 case that I want to buy:
http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=SG05&area=usa

Anyway, besides finding out that the PSU is 80Plus certified, I found something a bit disconcerting while looking at the PSU specs provided by Silverstone:
http://www.silverstonetek.com/downloads/CASE/SG05-FSP300-60GHS.pdf

The reported ripple levels on the +12V rails and the non +12V rails are at 140mV and 70mV respectively. That exceeds the maximum recommended ripple as set forth by the ATX12V 2.2 specifications of 120mV and 50mV on the +12V rail and non +12V rails respectively IIRC. So does this mean that I should avoid using that FSP PSU since the ripple is out of spec?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

if you're in the US, this is probably a better option.

Avoid stuffs that do not even dare to follow the minimum standard applied.

@ MrWicked1968
That Seasonic is the better PSU no doubt. Yes I'm in the U.S.

@ spursindonesia
Got a point there.


Man, I love that case but I hate the fact that it's bundled with a PSU like that. The Sugo SG05 costs around $125 IIRC w/ that FSP PSU included. Kind of a ripoff.

I have that Seasonic SFX PSU. While I personally don't have testing equipment, I did put a GTX 260 with it (using two PCIe adaptors, heh) and it ran just fine.

dangman4ever, is that SG05 chassis available somewhere? It looks pretty sweet. Geeks has a mini ITX board (off and on) for socket AM2 with a PCIe x16 slot for $150 that would go great with this chassis.

[dangman4ever]

That case isn't due for release till mid-February IIRC. Main reason why I'm looking at that case is due to this mITX mobo also due out in mid February:

Hot diggity dawg! Too bad the most powerful NVIDIA graphics card I'd be able to shoehorn into that SG05 would be a 9800 GTX+.

Just in case anyone is interested, I emailed Silverstone about the out of spec ripple a while ago and they answered less than a week later with this:


Hi Danny,

:
this value of Ripple is measured at cross loading.

At typical load, you can check the attached report.

You can check the Products web page of SG05.



Or you can download the detail specification at this address.

I've attached the Testing Report they provided:

Hello,

I've just posted a review for this power supply, take a look here:

I will post the review for SG05 later today.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Gabriel.

Gabe, is Page 6 right? Why on earth would you put the whole system on a 14A rail then stick a single PCIe connector (that maxes out at 6.25A!) on its own 16A rail? :crazy:

EDIT: Unless you're wrong and the ATX12V (hiding next to the PCIe in the tentacle shot) is also on 12V2...

[Zap]

I purchased a similar one a while back, and it did not have the PCIe plug. 6.25A is 75W, which is exactly how much a PCIe 6-pin can handle, so I don't have a problem with this layout.

Why is there a mention of the Corsair 400W under Primary Analysis?

I never found mine to be loud, so I don't know how Silverstone could have improved it, though I guess the case has positive air pressure so the fan doesn't have to work very hard.

How similar is it to this one?

Thanks for the review! Always nice to see oddball and low end stuff represented.
