CONCLUSION
Even though the Vita GM line from FSP is not their top one the 850W variant managed to produce rock solid rail stability which coupled with its ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliance and its available electrical protections make it a very good choice, especially for people on a budget. Yes, noise levels could be better but since FSP went with a high-speed 120mm fan due to the size of the Vita GM this was somewhat expected (and my test rig didn’t max it out). Being available in both black and white colors is also certainly something that will appeal to some consumers, as will its small size and of course its 10 year limited warranty.
The Vita GM line already counts roughly 4 months in the market and currently the 850W output model retails for around USD139 inside the USA and for 118.14Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is exactly what I was expecting. What matters in the end is that the Vita GM 850W power supply unit by FSP delivers on everything it should and that’s plenty for the Golden Award.
