FSP makes crap power supplies

They are know for their out of spec ripple and low efficiency.

Some of their units are ok, but most are mediocre at best.

FSP is kinda a trusted name. They used to be good. Their PSUs that they supply to OEMs are usually fine.

Didn't FSP make the AX1200? Or some brand that sounded similar?

 

[reflex99]

um, i dont think that FSP makes any 80+gold units

Oh. Who made the AX1200? Or wasn't that made by Corsair themselves?

 

[reflex99]

Well, now - that's certainly a different looking unit, isn't it? You say you don't recognize the layout as either Seasonic or CWT, like the rest of Corsair's units? That could be due to the fact that Corsair went to a new OEM on this one, Flextronics. And I'm just going to 'fess up right now - I am not desoldering all that stuff in there. Much of the electronics should be identifiable using clever camera angles and a lot of hard squinting.

And from what the AX1200 turned out to be, flextronics seems to be total crap

I knew it had an F at the beginning, and an s somewhere in it.

 

[reflex99]

and i knew it wasnt FSP b/c the AX1200 isnt total crap, and is gold. I knew it wasn't seasonic b/c it has a high failure rate, and i knew it wasn't made by corsair b/c the only thing they actually manufacture is their ram and the 700/800d

Isn't it technically a platinum PSU?

Nice spam post.
Isn't the efficiency so high for the AX1200 that it's Platinum rated, but only for certain loads?

 

[reflex99]

if it cant make 80+ plat at all loads then it isnt platinum

I know. That's why I said for some loads. -_-

 

[reflex99]

alot of PSUs can make 80+gold on at least one load level

Still. Plat is still impressive.
