Overview
The FSP Dagger 600W packaging is diminutive which is fitting given the units diminutive size. The front of the package a couple rows of advertising that includes things such as “DC to DC”, “100% Japan Made E-cap”, “Modular Ribbon Cables”, “VR Ready”, etc. The VR ready one is interesting because who knows what that is even supposed to mean for a power supply! We also find that FSP is advertising this unit as adhering to the 80 Plus Gold standard of efficiency and a quick check of the 80 Plus website shows that this unit is indeed certified for 80 Plus Gold. Moving to the rear of the packaging of the Dagger 600W, we find advertising that carries over from the front of the package but, in some cases, with more text accompanying it. In addition to that, we find a picture of the included unit and the power label (reproduced below). On the sides of the packaging, connector count (reproduced below) and an efficiency graph. Lastly, the Dagger 600W carries a 5 year warranty.
The Dagger 600W is advertised as being a single 12v rail power supply with a capacity up to 50A (or ~100% of the unit’s capacity) if necessary. The minor rails (5v and 3.3v) have a capacity of 15A and 20A, respectively, and the combined capacity of those two rails is 90W. Combined with these outputs, we find that this unit has 2 PCIe connectors, 5 SATA connectors, and 2 Molex connectors.
Once we open the FSP Dagger 600W packaging, we are left looking at the unit, power cord, mounting screws, ATX adapter plate, cables, and user manuals. The user manual includes a pinout guide, power label for 500W and 600W models, and some very short installation instructions. That is all, and not terribly complete. Let’s move on to see what this unit looks like when we open it up!
