CONCLUSION

    It’s no coincidence that FSP is alongside names like Seasonic and Channel Well Technologies when it comes to OEM PSU manufacturing and well, the Hydro Ti PRO 850W produced some of the best results I’ve seen in terms of rail stability. Needless to say, my test rig wasn’t able to draw 850W from this unit but even at almost 780W rail stability is almost excellent. Noise levels are also relatively low, yes, at just over 40dBA at load (well at 850W I do expect that to climb slightly higher) the Ti PRO 850W is not quite what I’d call whisper quiet but it’s still a lot better than most. What I didn’t like much was the how close FSP has placed the power connectors for the peripherals (two pairs). This might not be an issue when you’re building a system or mounting the unit for the first time (and there are other models around with similar configuration) but if you need to use one more port, you’ll probably need to remove it to do so. Tiny details/issues I know, still I do feel I need to point everything out.

    Currently retailing for USD229.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 226.68Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Hydro Ti PRO 850W is priced slightly higher than what I was expecting. That being said this is a top of the line 80 PLUS Titanium certified ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 unit with a plethora of features and protections so to many people price will be well justified. Overall, the Hydro Ti PRO 850W is a very good power supply unit and for that it deserves the Platinum Award.
