This high-end FSP platform uses a bridgeless APFC converter, a full-bridge topology, and an LLC resonant converter to achieve top efficiency levels. The build quality is high, with good parts, and the soldering quality is pretty good. All capacitors are by Japanese manufacturers, Chemi-Con and Rubycon, ensuring the PSU’s longevity, even under harsh operating conditions. The cooling fan is also high-quality, using a fluid dynamic bearing.
With a quick look at the PCB, you can easily find the advantage of the increased dimensions. There is so much space between the parts to allow for good airflow, especially on the secondary side. The two small heatsinks in front of the main transformer are for the 12V FETs installed on the PCB’s solder side. The VRMs handling the minor rails are on a daughter board also hosting the supervisor IC. The cooling fan doesn’t have a frame to improve airflow, which makes the disassembly process tougher. Not that this matters for future buyers since you should not try to break apart your PSU unless you are trained to do so.
