FSP VITA GM 750W ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Epilogue

The FSP VITA GM 750W has good build quality if you take out the terrible Yate Loon fan, which I would replace ASAP. The PSU’s overall performance is decent, taking the lead from several similar-spec offerings, especially at 115V. Nonetheless, this platform has more potential, which FSP can exploit by tuning it more and improving performance in some areas:

  • Load regulation should be tighter on the minor rails.
  • The average power factor readings are dead low. The APFC converter needs tuning!
  • Vampire power is high at 230V. It shouldn’t exceed 0.1W

Protection features matter the most in a power supply. FSP’s engineers did a fine job in the protection features, including overcurrent protection on all rails and conservatively set overpower protection triggering points. Only the fan failure protection is missing. However, only a few manufacturers have started providing this crucial protection feature, and in high-end, thus expensive, platforms.

If the VITA GM 750 is offered at a good street price and FSP decides to replace the fan soon, this unit will be a good choice for a not-so-power-demanding gaming system.

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.

 

 

Pros:
  • Delivered full power at 46°C
  • Silent operation
  • ATX v3.1 and PCIe 5.1 ready
  • Efficient platform
  • Correctly set protection features
  • Good transient response (normal loads)
  • 12V rail keeps its voltage high in the ATX v3.1 transient load tests
  • Within 1% load regulation at 12V
  • Good ripple suppression
  • Low inrush currents
  • Efficient 5VSB rail
  • Alternative Low Power Mode (ALPM) compatible
  • Good build quality (except for the fan)
  • Fully modular
  • Enough cables and connectors, including a high-power one (12+4 pin, 600W)
  • Long enough distance (150-155mm) between the SATA and half of the 4-pin Molex connectors
Cons:
  • MSRP is on the high side
  • APFC converter needs tuning for higher PF readings
  • Loose load regulation on the minor rails
  • Below 70% (69.19%) efficiency with a 2% load
  • Lower than 16ms power ok signal’s hold-up time

  2. Your in depth reviews of psu’s are amazing.

    I hope you review the Lian Li Edge 1300 and new phanteks revolt 1200. I want one of those psu’s for my new built.

      1. I’m in Indonesia and bought 1000w version. Bulk caps is Toshin Kogyo. The box said it’s Korean version. Perhaps some region in Asia using TK caps instead Nippon Chemicon to reduce price.
