CONCLUSION

   After quite a while since our last cooperation with FSP a few months ago we received and published our review of the Aurum PT 1200W 80 Plus Platinum Certified PSU something which was more than enough to remind all of us here that they are not amongst the 5 top PSU manufacturers in the world out of pure luck. Now we do realize that the Aurum Pro 1200W with its 80 Plus Gold Certification and the semi-modular body is not as appealing/exciting as the 80 Plus Platinum Certified 100% modular Aurum PT 1200W model but their performance differences are very small and that should be the very first and last thing potential buyers should care about. Personally i also like the Gold/Black color combination a lot more than the Grey/Black one but that's certainly not something very important (at least it's not to most people). Also let's not forget the 5 year warranty and the 5 million USD product insurance FSP offers with the Aurum Pro 1200W since although you may never need them it's very good to have them just in case.

   With a current price tag set at USD189.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 211.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Aurum Pro 1200W PSU by FSP is certainly not the cheapest 80 Plus Gold 1200W model in the market currently and that's the only real issue. We don't really have a problem with its price inside the USA since we find it very attractive but we can't say the same for its current price inside the EU especially since it costs just slightly less than the Aurum PT 1200W. That being said we really don't think you can go wrong by picking the Aurum Pro 1200W by FSP and that's why it deserves our Golden Award.
