At Computex a couple of months ago, we had the opportunity to catch up with FSP and see what they’ve got coming up for the rest of 2019. In June, we saw the first batch of new power supplies release and now to wrap up August, FSP is launching the FlexGURU series.

The FlexGURU is an interesting little PSU coming in 250W and 300W versions. These are small form factor PSUs intended for use with low power systems, like a HTPC, an Industrial PC or a NAS system. The PSU stands out due to how slim it is, measuring in at just 150 x 40.5 x 81.5mm.

Both versions are fully modular and come with slim ribbon cables to keep clutter to a minimum and avoid obstructing airflow in small systems. A universal bracket is also included to make installation quick and easy with almost any chassis.

Here is the spec sheet:

  • Compliant with the latest Flex ATX V1.22 specification
  • 300W: Efficiency – Efficient ≧ 90% at typical load
  • 250W: Efficiency Efficient ≧ 85% at typical load
  • UL/EN/IEC 62368-1 and 60950 international safety standards compliant
  • Intelligent fan speed control
  • Quiet and long-lasting 40mm ball bearing fan
  • Flat ribbon cable format
  • Powerful single +12V rail design
  • Japanese electrolytic capacitors
  • Ready for newest Intel CPUs – Compatible with the latest Intel CPUs
  • Full protection: OCP, OVP, SCP, OPP, and OTP

At Computex, we were told that a more powerful 500W version of the FlexGURU would also be made available in the future, which would include a PCIe connection for discrete graphics. That one isn't ready just yet but we'll be looking forward to hearing more when that time comes.

KitGuru Says: While this is certainly a niche segment, something like this could be useful to any of you looking to build your own NAS, or set up a HTPC for streaming media in the living room.

Computex 2019: FSP showcases crazy modded PCs and new power supplies https://www.kitguru.net/components/cases/matthew-wilson/computex-2019-fsp-showcases-crazy-modded-pcs-and-new-power-supplies/ https://www.kitguru.net/components/cases/matthew-wilson/computex-2019-fsp-showcases-crazy-modded-pcs-and-new-power-supplies/#respond Fri, 31 May 2019 13:24:32 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=414483 Leo has been roaming around the Nangang convention halls for the last couple of days and during those travels, he was able to catch up with FSP and see what's new in the power supply world.

Leo has been roaming around the Nangang convention halls for the last couple of days and during those travels, he was able to catch up with FSP and see what's new in the power supply world. We came to see power supplies but were promptly distracted by some of the incredible modded PCs on show, including one modelled after a Chinese garden and another system called the ‘best pork ramen store', which is as crazy as it sounds.

Leo gives a good rundown of the modded PC builds in the video above but you can get a quick look in the gallery too. Each system is powered by an FSP power supply, just as you would expect. Most of the units on show today were from the new Dagger Pro range, which will hopefully be a marked improvement over the original Dagger series.

Moving on to power supplies, FSP is launching the Hydro GS series, which despite its name, doesn't have anything to do with water. It is a semi-passive PSU though with 80Plus Gold efficiency and modular cables. The Dagger Pro is also new and will take over from the original FSP Dagger series. We have been told that the Dagger Pro will be a big improvement during various tests compared to the original, which sounds like good news to us.

The FSP Twins series is more of a professional use-case unit. It is essentially two PSUs in one ATX chassis, combining a more convenient form factor with the safety net of redundancy, so if one PSU fails, a second one is already in place to pick up the slack.

The FSP FlexGURU is another interesting little PSU. The version we saw is 250W and doesn't come with a PCIe connection for graphics. However, a 500W version of this tiny power supply is coming and will have PCIe connectors to power a graphics card.

Finally, FSP is also releasing its own PC chassis. Right now it is just called the FSP CMT710 but hopefully a more glamorous name will appear closer to launch. This is a case built with modding in mind, delivering two tower compartments so you can separate your hardware or build two systems in one case- it is all open air too, with tempered glass windows and laser cut aluminium panels.

KitGuru Says: Lots of good stuff from FSP this year and the modded systems created around the CMT710 all looked fantastic. We are almost done with our Computex 2019 coverage now but there are still a few more bits to come, so stay tuned!
