Introduction

I would like to thank Fortron Sparkle for supplying me with the unit for review.

FSP Group is a leader in the power supply industry in Taiwan and one of the top manufacturers in the world. Since the company's establishment in 1993, the management team has constantly improved R&D expertise, production capacity and product quality to consistently excel in this competitive marketplace.
FSP Group was founded from the companies Fortron Source and Sparkle Power Intl., the P means Power Supplies.

Today we have a very special PSU on the test bench - it is completely passive. Fortron trusts their design so much that they say a backup fan is not needed. When it gets too hot it will just turn off.

The FSP ZEN is also called FSP300-60GNF, in case you need to search for it at vendors. It has active PFC and a wide input voltage range of 99 to 265 V (auto-switched).

Shipping of the first units has already started and it should be widely available in May.

Packaging

Box contents:

• Power supply unit
• Manual (english, german, french, traditional chinese, simplified chinese)
• Power Cord
• Screw package

When switched on, the power switch is lighting up blue. Awesome!

Inside

If you open your PSU, your warranty is gone. We still had to peek inside it.



The two leftmost heatsinks carry current, even when the PSU is just plugged in and the switch on the back is lit. The rightmost heatsink is grounded. This is also the one which gets hottest, in our tests up to 65°C (measured directly at the heatsink).



The inside looks well cleaned up to me. There are no untidy cables or other messy things. The three heatsinks are massive in construction and seem to be able to handle the heat load pretty well.



All capacitors I could spot are high-quality 105°C flavour.
