The MEGA GM 1000W arrives in a relatively large retail box finished with full-colour graphics and a plastic carry handle. The packaging presentation reflects the unit’s premium positioning and pricing within FSP’s power supply lineup.
FSP places greater emphasis on eco-friendly packaging with the MEGA GM Series. The MEGA GM 1000W package contains two internal boxes, with the accessory box featuring printed text that highlights the company’s sustainability initiative:
“Love Our Earth
FSP product packaging is crafted from eco-friendly, recyclable, and reusable paper materials. This reduces carbon emissions and helps create a healthier planet. Thank you for choosing FSP and for making a positive impact on the world.”

We also observed this eco-friendly packaging approach when reviewing the FSP VITA GM 1000W last year, which remains the PSU model with the least amount of plastic packaging among all the power supplies we have reviewed over the past two years.
Inside the two boxes are the bundled contents which include the power supply unit, a set of modular cables, a power cord, a small accessory pack containing four thumbscrews, Velcro straps, cable combs, and a 24-pin jumper, along with a printed manual. FSP also includes a storage bag that can be used to keep unused cables and accessories organised.
Reading the manual, FSP prescribes the recommended length in bending the 12V-2x6 cable which is 3-5 CM from the socket whether the PSU socket or the graphics card socket.
Cables and Accessories
The FSP MEGA GM 1000W comes with a pack of transparent cable combs which covers the 24-pin cables, EPS and PCIE cables, SATA/MOLEX cables and the 12V-2x6 cable.
The PSU also comes with thumbscrews and Velcro straps for cable management - instead of cable ties. FSP also included a jumper that users can use to test the PSU’s function before installation. Simply plug the jumper into the 24-pin ATX cable, plug the power cord and turn on the PSU to test function.
The MEGA GM 1000W does not have pigtail connectors, all the EPS and ATX cables use a dedicated cable with a single connector as expected from a premium-grade PSU.
The MEGA GM 1000W does come with a 600w 12V-2x6 cable although it does not have markings on the cable. This design choice is likely to minimize any visible marking for aesthetics.
The FPS MEGA GM 1000W power supply unit comes with the following cables:
1x 20+4Pin Motherboard ATX (600mm)
2x 8Pin (4+4Pin) EPS (700mm)
3x 8Pin (6+2Pin) PCIe (800mm)
1x 16Pin PCIe 5.1 12V-2x6 (700mm)
1x 4xSATA (500mm+155mm+155mm+155mm)
1x 2xMOLEX + 2xSATA (500mm+155mm+155mm+155mm)
1x 4xSATA (500mm+155mm+155mm+155mm)
1x 4xMOLEX (500mm+155mm+155mm+155mm)
2x 8Pin (4+4Pin) EPS (700mm)
3x 8Pin (6+2Pin) PCIe (800mm)
1x 16Pin PCIe 5.1 12V-2x6 (700mm)
1x 4xSATA (500mm+155mm+155mm+155mm)
1x 2xMOLEX + 2xSATA (500mm+155mm+155mm+155mm)
1x 4xSATA (500mm+155mm+155mm+155mm)
1x 4xMOLEX (500mm+155mm+155mm+155mm)
As expected from a premium power supply, the MEGA GM 1000W does not use pigtail connectors. In our previous reviews of the bronze-rated SAMA B850 and MONTECH BETA2 850W, we observed voltage droop associated with shared cable designs. With the MEGA GM 1000W, users can populate PCIe and EPS connectors using dedicated cables, helping ensure more stable power delivery under load.
