I am not sure if my taste is bad or these PSU are much nicer than new FSP PSUs. Generally, they are look very nice for me
Two PSUs named Aurum is ridiculous and could lead to consumer confusion, but if one was a car, not so much.
Where was time when people looked for maximum efficiency as indicator of the quality. These days FSP Aurum were cheapest Gold rated PSUs while Corsair AX, Enermax Modu 87+ and Seasonic X-Series cost little bit more. That is why people bought them.
Actually they was not great, but not terible too. Despite fact, that they price was fair for sugested quality, high end "Bronze" PSUs such as Seasonic S12/M12 series and Corsair TX still were better choices. Anyway I believe that Aurum and Everest are the most iconic FSP PSU lineups of all time.
Blond moment :laugh:
