FSP Epsilon 700w ATX PSU
Connectors
Published: 29th June 2006 | Source: FSP | Price: |
With 700w on tap, you certainly don't want to be short changed when it comes to the number of devices that you can hook up. Most power supplies nowdays offer 2x PCI-E, 6x Molex and 2x SATA as a minimum, but will the Epsilon have more to offer?
It's good to see that FSP have decided to sleeve all cables right to the very last connector. Many manufacturers only sleeve some of the cables, or sleeve up to the first connector on every cable. The sleeving job is professional with cable ties holding the sleeving in place, and heat shrink keeping everything neat and tidy.
All connectors are finished in black, with the molex connectors adopting the 'easy grip' design, which should make removal of the connectors from devices easier.

The ATX connector on the Epsilon is native 24-pin. However, as you can see above, a small block of 4 connectors can be broken off to switch the connector to 20-pin, and thus make it compatible with older motherboards.
This is also true for the 8-Pin EPS12v connector which can be split in half, providing the user with a 4-Pin P4-12v connector.

With 6 SATA connectors, 6 Molex connectors and 2 Floppy connectors the Epsilon 700w should have enough plugs to power almost any kind of high-end water cooled, RAID system.

Yeah it threw a bit of a 'hissy fit' on our load tester, but managed to do pretty well when plugged into the test rig.

Glad it started working for you correctly mate! FSP usually makes a great unit. My blue storm was the heaviest and most solid psu I'd ever had for the price I paid for it.

the hiper uses the same connectors. Just out of curiosity, will you have various charts/graph diagrams comparing all the psus you've reviewed?
HI CTZ,
Yes, once we've got a few more manufacturers on board, i will create a comparison chart so we can truly see what PSU takes the crown

You gotta get a Tagan 1100w to review. Now that'd prolly take the crown *drool* Quad SLi connectors are so sweet, especially the way Topower sleeves them. Topower makes most of the OCZ PSU's, Tagan PSU's, and I think the Mushkin PSU's too... gotta check tho.

Ya, Mushkin's is Topower made to Mushkin's specs.
A funny little note is that OCZ's newer Gamestream PSU's are the FSP Epsilons
