FSP Hydro PTM X Pro ATX 3.0 (PCIe 5.0) 1000W, ATX 3.0

FSP hat mit dem Hydro PTM X PRO gezeigt, dass klein auch groß sein kann. So ist es nicht nur wegen der 80+ Platinum Zertifizierung besonders effizient, auch die leistungsstarke +12V Single Rail für volle und stabile Leistungen sprechen hier für sich. Mit dem Eco-Betrieb wird der Verbrauch geringer, ist flüsterleise und das bei weniger als 30 % der Auslastung des Netzteiles. Die Verarbeitung lässt hier keine Wünsche offen und durch die spezielle Oberflächenbeschaffenheit ist auch noch der Einsatz mit hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit gewährleistet.

Just like with most PSUs I’ve tested from FSP the latest Hydro PTM X PRO met all my expectations not just in terms of build quality and features (both of which I’ve come to expect by FSP over the years) but also rail stability which is nothing short of excellent. Yes, noise levels did get quite high at full load and there are a couple of electrical protections missing (always compared to other Hydro lines) but that’s just me nitpicking, especially since most of its direct competition has the same exact issues. Size is also a plus and even though it does mean higher temperatures and thus a more aggressive fan curve (which in turn results in higher noise levels) I think for most users the drawback is not that important.

Today we're taking a look at the Hydro PTM X Pro 1000W ATX 3.0, FSP’s latest ATX 3.0-compliant unit. FSP released one of the first ATX 3.0 units in the market, the Hydro G Pro series, which we took a look at a couple of months ago. In comparison to that power supply, the PTM X Pro series is aimed at system builders seeking a higher level of performance, with the primary discernible difference being the 80 Plus Platinum efficiency certification. In order to get there, FSP had to build a platform with even better power regulation, giving the Hydro PTM X Pro a level of electrical excellence that few PSUs can match.
