The 12V rail’s OCP triggering points differ significantly between low and high temperatures. Still, I would like them to be lower, not exceeding 130%, at cold temperatures since this is a high-capacity PSU. The minor rails have sky-high triggering points without a reason, and to make matters worse, they are ideal under low and high temperatures, which doesn’t make much sense. The same goes for the 5VSB rail.

The OPP triggering points are a bit high, but there is a notable difference, at least under cold and hot temperatures. The rest of the essential protection features are present, but the fan failure is absent; normally, it should exist in a high-end power supply. I want to push all OEMs to include fan failure protection in their designs, even the lower-end ones.

  1. Would you consider reviewing some of the sama psus like black diamond, black hole, XP, and even the new upcoming GT series? When they’re in stock they’re at incredible prices, and my buddy who’s working on a psu database says some of their electrical performance is debatably a tier.

  2. Are there any notable safety concerns when using this as compared to a better reviewed 1200W-1300W PSU with a MSI RTX 5090 SUPRIM SOC?

    I already purchased this PSU (felt it was good as it is a Seasonic OEM and there are also very few white PSUs at >1200W)

    However I am now concerned after reading the cons listed in this review, and might switch to the [ASRock Taichi TC-1300T] or [Lian Li Edge Gold/Plat 1200W/1300W] if it would improve safety levels

    1. Look at the protection features table, everything you need to know is on this page.

      I liked the Taichi units, FSP is trying hard to make them highly competitive.
