    Are FSP PSU's any Good?

    Hi all,

    Just wondering what people opinions of FSP's PSU's are?

    The apparently make PSU's for the likes of Zalman, OCZ and Thermaltake, but i've never heard of them as a retail PSU manufacturer before.

    Thanks

    FSP are quite a well known company and usually make decent PSUs. However the FSP Epsilon series PSUs were not very good at all and some of the OCZ PSUs were from this series.

    As Cat says, FSP are a semi decent brand in general but they do have some deathstars in the mix (mostly older models)

    Not up with seasonic/corsair(seasonic)/corsair(CWT)/enermax etc

    But if i was severely limited and just couldn't afford the price increase then FSP would be my next point of call

    I ordered one as the price was very good but it was DOA. That is the first and last one I ever ordered.Probably an isolated case but just my experience.
