What has the Hydro PTM Pro 1200W PSU visually standing out next to most modern PSUs is its sheer size. The FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W PSU External Appearance The two cable bundles are held by reusable cable straps.
An odd observation is that there are three EPS connectors – or at least a cable with two connectors and another cable with one connector on it. All of the cables are black, ribbon-like, with black connectors. The FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W PSU is a fully modular design, allowing for the removal of every DC power cable, including the 24-pin ATX connector. These stickers are permanent and cannot be removed without damaging them. The blue set is already glued to the unit. There are also two sets of side stickers, one green, and one red. The company supplies only a simple AC power cable, four mounting screws, and a basic manual. Inside the box we found a very basic bundle, especially considering this is a flagship-level PSU. Inside the box, the PSU itself is sandwiched between two thick pieces of protective foam. It features a very striking, colorful aesthetic design, with numerous icons at the front of the box and plentiful information printed on its sides and back. Power specifications ( Rated 50 ☌ )įSP supplies the Hydro PTM Pro 1200W PSU in a very large and sturdy cardboard box that hints at the dimensions of the power supply. But looks can be deceiving, and as we'll see, the Hydro PTM Pro brings a significant number of upgrades that we will examine in this review. At first sight, the new platform does not look to be much different than the eight-year old Aurum PT, as they both share the same power output and an 80Plus Platinum efficiency certification. Today we are taking a look at FSP’s current top-tier platform as implemented in the Hydro PTM Pro 1200W PSU. The last time we reviewed one of their premium platforms was nearly eight years ago, in the form of the Aurum PT 1200W PSU.
We frequently review both retail units made by Seasonic and units based on Seasonic’s platforms, but we rarely review retail units made by FSP Group as their releases are very few and far apart. Nowadays, most ODMs have their own retail divisions as well, with the most prominent examples being Seasonic and FSP Group.
The modifications that such companies perform on the original platform can sometimes be significant, but the changes are more often limited to aesthetic adjustments, essentially copying the original unit in everything but the form (or even just color). Most companies use their own engineering teams to improve/modify an existing platform originally developed by the Original Design Manufacturer (ODM). As most technology enthusiasts already know, the number of the actual power supply unit (PSU) manufacturers is far smaller than the number of the companies that ship PSUs.
