FSP Aurum Pro 850W Power Supply Review

The last few products we have taken a look at from FSP have been universal power adapters for notebooks so finally we get a chance to take a look at a product in their main product line, power supplies.  FSP sure does know a lot about power supplies.  They were established in 1993 and currently are the 5th largest power supply vendor in the world.  Today we are checking out their Aurum Pro 850W Power Supply.  This power supply features an 80PLUS Gold certification, a true single rail and dual transformer design, 135mm PWM cooling fan and a very cool rugged Granite-Touch finish.  Is this the power supply for your next build?  Read on to find out!
