FSP Hydro G PRO 850W Power Supply, 80 Plus Gold, ATX 3.0/PCIe 5(12V-2X6), Full Modular (HG2-850-G5T)

Great power supply 10/10 would recommend. I got this on a sale for about 140 USD and has been working phenomenally well ever since. I bought a supposedly “name brand” power supply that had coil whine since the beginning and worst of all it gave my gpu coil whine as well, and even worst of all when I reached support they claimed some electrical noise is allowed on some devices including power supply and that the video I sent as proof was within the allowed range which is nuts.. anyway I decided to give this one a shot and I have no regrets. Great product!!

Definitely the best power supply I've owned and I like the future proofing with pcie 5.0

Very powerful, modern PSU with 1000 watt output. This is enough for the highest end desktop gaming PC with an Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics card paired with a Ryzen 9 or Core i9 processor. My system is not specced up that high, though, I used this with a Ryzen 7 5800x3D CPU, Gigabyte X570 motherboard, 64GB of DDR4 3200MHz Cl16 memory, with an overclocked RTX 4070 Asus Rog Strix card. My system only draws about 600 watts under full load, so this PSU is more than I needed. Although, I will mention that it’s important to have some headroom. For example, if your system uses 480 watts, it would not be smart to use a 500 watt power supply, most of them are more efficient if they are not operating at 100% capacity.I appreciate all of the options that you get for different ways of connecting your graphics card, you can use PCIe 8-pin connectors (which most GPUs use), or you can use the newer 16-pin 12VHPWR connector that newer Nvidia cards use. This is the way I opted to connect my 4070, because it uses that connector and otherwise I would have had to use an adapter. I think it looks much cleaner with just a single cable being used to connect the GPU to the power supply unit.Building a new PC (or upgrading an existing one) will be really easy using this PSU, it’s fully modular, so you only attach the cables that are needed for your specific components. There are no unused cables leftover to manage after you are done. You just put the remaining cables back into the box for storage, and you have them available if you add more SATA devices in the future (like fan/RGB controllers, 2.5” Hard Disc Drives, etc).This PSU seems silent to me, but it could just be that my case fans are louder and I just don’t hear the PSU’s fan. I oriented the PSU fan facing downward in my Corsair 5000T case, as there is a dust catcher on the bottom of my case, it’s designed to prevent dirt and dust from getting into the PSU. I had no problem fitting it in my case because it’s massive and has plenty of room for virtually any size, but people with smaller form factor builds should definitely double check to make aure that they have sufficient space before ordering this.

Came dead, doesn’t work at all. :(

When I first opened the box, I was very pleased to see a bag with all the included cables. I wasn’t sure if I was going to need to get any, but I did not have to worry. I have enough cables for everything. That being said, I probably will be using something like a power bar for multiple fans, but that’s totally due to personal preference not because of any lack of cables provided in the kit.One of the best things about this power supply is how compact it is versus how much power you get out of it. With such a significant increase in power, I wasn’t sure if the unit would fit in my case well but it does.The reason I got this power supply was to accommodate extra fans and provide enough power for expected future upgrades like a new graphics card and extra drives. With its 1200 W of power, double what I had, this unit will cover all my upgrades and come up smiling. One of the best parts of the design of this power supply is that it doesn’t have an octopus–like hodgepodge of cables coming out of it. I absolutely love having the ability to use only the cables that I need. Cable management is far more pleasant when you don’t have a bunch of extra unused wires and plugs to stuff into nooks and crannies to get it out of the way.Heat does not seem like it will be much of an issue, especially considering the addition of the extra fans in my computer case.

I'm honestly blown away at how cheap 1000 Watt PSUs have gotten in an 80 plus gold range, especially modular.If you're not familiar with FSP, there are well known OEM that supply power supplies to other manufacturers such as cooler master, and tech, and so Cooler Master, Antec, and so on.I'm currently running a Ryzen 9 3900 X paired with 64 gigabytes of RAM, an ID-COOLING 240MM AIO and an RTX 2080TI, While this power supplies a little overkill for my needs I definitely have some headroom for further upgrades and with a modular based design of this power supply, I'm able to switch between different cables in the future and keep everything tidy and only put in what is needed.

Power supplies are one PC build item I usually spend more on for reliability and overall safety. I had not heard of FSP power supplies previously, but a quick wiki search reveals that FSP Group manufactures power supplies for the likes of OEMs, Antec, Thermaltake, OCZ, SilverStone and others. So, I'm sold as far as FSP being legit.In regards to this specific Hydro G PRO, I have nothing bad to say, which is what you want from a PSU. It is understated in design which I appreciate. Once you go fully modular it's hard to go back to even partially modular, it makes cable management so much easier. The fan is also silent, I mean it's at least more quiet than the other of the fans in my build.80 Plus Gold, fully modular, with 12VHPWR, from a reputable manufacturer...worth it.
