FSP Booster X3 300w 12v PSU
Specification
Published: 12th July 2006 | Source: FSP | Price: |
The following information has been taken directly from FSP Group press release documents:
"Delivering a reliable, sustained power output of 300W (360W max) the FSP Group Booster X3 is perfect for semi-pro and pro gamers who demand the ultimate in super-stable 3D graphics acceleration" said Ann Kuo, Product Marketing Manager of FSP Group's UK Marketing Division.
FSP Booster X3 features FSP Groups' exclusive Auto-Power Recovery System (APRS), which working in conjunction with a systems existing PSU, enables the FSP Booster X3 to fully support installations of multiple, high and extreme performance 3D graphics accelerators such as ATI Technologies' CrossFire, NVIDIA SLI and future S3 MultiChrome.
Featuring a subtle blue LED illuminated front-panel and high-quality dual-intake cooling fans, the FSP Booster X3 is compatible with most well ventilated ATX personal computers with a spare 5¼" drive bay.
Easily installed in minutes, the FSP Booster X3 is both economical and quiet in operation (even under full load) and is crucially ROHS compliant.
- Active PFC (99%)
- Blue LED Front Panel
- Independent Power Source
- Dual Front In-Take Fan
- Auto-Power-Recovery System (APRS)
With 25 amps on the 12v rail, this unit should be able to power any current high-end SLI or Crossfire setup with ease and will hopefully be future-proof for a few generations of graphics cards to come.

Looks like a great option for those who wanna upgrade to SLI/Crossfire and have an inadequate PSU
Also maybe someone with an OEM machine who wants to add a meaty GPU/other accessories

How sweet is that; what an awesome idea. I love the front fascia, it looks almost holographic.
Great review as usual Jim

didnt look bad but they should have done something to improve cooling and reduce noise from fans.
silence is important these days.

Yes it is a bit of a shame that its quite noisy under load. There are quieter 60mm fans on the market that FSP could have used, but obviously this isnt always possible from a business pov.
one thing they could have is to make a removeable door beneath where a bigger fan could be mounted for those who choses too.
for example an 80mm fan.

Pretty clever imo.

Or maybe you're looking for a way to power that peltier, but don't fancy forking out £80+ for a Peltier PSU?
