The major differences with the 1000W model are the primary FETs, which are stronger in the 1300W model, the larger bulk cap (800uF vs. 680uF), and the larger amount of FETs for the regulation of the 12V rail (6x Vishay vs. 8x Infineon). The electrolytic filtering capacitors are the same. The 1300W model uses the same brand of polymer caps with a slight difference in the number(26x vs. 25x). Lastly, SF used the same cooling fan in this unit, which is strong enough to meet the increased thermal loads. Overall, the build quality is high, and SF also used top-notch parts to ensure reliability through time. I don’t have any information on the FDB fan since I haven’t met it before in another PSU brand, but from the testing experience, it looks to be good enough, not as good, though, as Hong Hua fans with similar specs.
