All OCP and OPP triggering points are conservative because this is a strong PSU, so FSP had to be careful not to allow users to overload the platform highly. The OCP triggering points between normal and hot conditions have enough distance at 12V and 3.3V rails. There isn’t much gap at 5V, but the triggering point is set low already at 5V, given the official rating on this rail.
All other protection features are present and work well. My only complaint here is that the PSU lacks fan failure protection, which is what I expect to find in a high-end, expensive PSU.

Hey how are you.
I am currently thinking about a PSU that is Future proof 1200w+ with Dual 2x 16 Pin Connectors.
I am currently evaluating between
NZXT C1500 Platinum
vs
1300 Taichi / Gold Series
I have read that the c1500 has wrong ocp/opp values, but the Asrock Models dont have Fan Failure Protection.
What is more Important, and what would you advice me too buy from the Models:
NZXT1500C
Phantom Gaming Gold 1300/1600
Taichi 1300
🙂 The Noise doesnt matter i have headset 🙂
Did you find the answer? What did you choose? I am interested in exactly the same.
Wouldn’t have expected AsRock to enter that space but it’s always a welcome surprise to see new competition. Are there any plans to also test their SL-G and PG-G units?
Yes, I will try to review all of the new ASRock PSUs.
I can’t wait for that since AsRock is available in my country unlike many other brands that you review.
Interestingly, ASRock Phantom and Taichi have the same specifications for the 1600 and 1300 units.
The only differences are in the Gold efficiency for the Phantom units and Titanium for Taichi ones,
and the number of connecting cables for the 1600 and 1300 models.
