FSP AURUM Pro 1200W Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅16-08-12
Conclusion

FSP’s AURUM Pro 1200W PSU is designed for overclockers and gamers and its styling certainly fits the bill. The grainy matt texture will bode well in either camps’ computer chassis. The included items within the bundle are good and there are plenty of cables to choose from but unfortunately there is no carry case for the multitude of cables. There is also combinations of Molex with SATA and some cables even have up to 4 connectors – whilst this could be useful to some, it can also be to their folly, adding unneeded clutter into the chassis.



Performance using up to 3 graphics cards presented no mean feat. AURUM Pro 1200W handled the pressures of sustaining power for these hungry cards and fan noise wasn’t too bad either. During 31% and 56% load the fan noise was kept to a minimum but adding the extra graphics card in pushed the load to 87% and as a result this was noticeably louder, though not especially disturbing.

The real highlight with AURUM Pro 1200W is the price-tag. At just shy of £190 the pricing on this unit makes it one of the more affordable options available for gamers and enthusiasts needing power for multiple graphics cards. All of this is backed by a generous 5 years warranty too.

AURUM Pro 1200W looks great, performs well and has an attractive price-tag. It is also backed by a 5 year warranty that will make it even more appealing
