Epilogue
Seeing new brands and not-so-popular OEMs entering the tough PSU market is nice. Endorfy managed to offer a good-performing PSU at a fair price. The Supremo FM6 1000W achieves within 1% load regulation on all rails; its ripple suppression is not competitive at 12V, but still, it is decent. The transient response with normal loads at 12V is good, but not competitive at high loads (ATX v3.1). Efficiency is high at normal loads, not so high at light and super-light loads. The APFC converter needs tuning, and the protection features need tuning to become more effective, especially in OCP and OPP. It would also be nice to see a fan failure protection. The unit’s average noise output is low, thanks to the relaxed fan speed profile, and the PSU’s dimensions are compact, with only 140mm depth.
All in all, this is a fair-priced product, and with some modifications, it will be able to compete with more expensive PSU offerings with similar wattage. Given this product’s performance, Endorfy’s cooperation with SAMA proved good, but I expect more in the future. If the unit’s protection features were correctly set, I would probably give this PSU a “Recommended” badge, but since this is not the case, I cannot.
Before investing in a new power supply, read my Best ATX v3.x PSUs article to check all alternative PSU offerings. You help me a lot by using my affiliate links, which don’t increase the product’s price. I get a commission from Amazon every time you do it, which can make a difference for me, especially now that I am on my own, working exclusively for my media and not for someone else.
