CONCLUSION

   Releasing an 1200W 80 Plus Platinum certified PSU was just a matter of time for FSP since you just can't be one of the top 5 largest PSU vendors in the world and not have something that can take on the competition. FSP has been around longer than most PSU manufacturers however so although our last encounter with one of their models was roughly 3 years ago we had no doubt that the Aurum PT 1200W model would be excellent and it is both in terms of build quality and rail stability. True we have seen slightly better rail stability from similar wattage PSUs but nobody's saying that the Aurum PT 1200W is the best model currently in the market (it's certainly one of the best ones however). Noise levels are also very low at load not to mention that the unit is basically inaudible at idle and although this isn't something new still it adds to the overall quality/performance of the unit.

   By releasing the Aurum PT 1200W power supply unit not only does FSP have a top-notch product which can compete with other similar ones in the market but they also have a product which doesn't have much competition in terms of cost since with a current price tag of USD239.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and around 230Euros inside the EU you will have a hard time finding something similar (Seasonic is perhaps the only company that does offer something similar at around the same price point). Of course as mentioned earlier the Aurum PT 1200W is by no means the best available model in the market but the 80PLUS Platinum certification, rock solid rail stability, available power connectors (can power up to 4 graphics cards and 13 drives), very tempting price tag and the 7 years warranty (along with the 5 million USD product insurance) are more than enough for our Platinum Award.
