Overview
The FSP Hydro PTM PRO 12ooW packaging looks a lot like the Hydro G PRO 1000W packaging. The front of the package has a couple of rows of advertising that include things such as “0dB Zero Noise”, “Full Modular”, “Japan Made E-cap”, “Intel Latest CPU Ready”, “450V, 105C High Durability”, “Triple CPU Power Connectors” and my new favorite “Off-Wet”. We also find that FSP is advertising this unit as adhering to the 80 Plus Platinum standard of efficiency and a quick check of the 80 Plus website does find it listed.
Moving to the rear of the packaging of the Hydro PTM PRO 12ooW, we find even more advertising all pointing back to a picture showing the interior of the PSU. Among these things being advertised most of them are very standard but ballooned up with PR speak. For instance, the “Off-Wet” technology means that the unit will work in 95% humidity. Ok, thanks for that FSP. On the sides of the packaging, we find the power label (reproduced below), connector count (reproduced below), an acoustic noise graph, and an efficiency graph. Lastly, the Hydro PTM PRO 12ooW carries a 10-year warranty.
The PTM PRO 12ooW is advertised as being a single 12v rail power supply with a capacity up to 100A (or ~100% of the unit’s capacity) if necessary. The minor rails (5v and 3.3v) have a capacity of 20A each and the combined capacity of those two rails is 120W. Combined with these outputs, we find that this unit has 8 PCIe connectors, 14 SATA connectors, and 5 Molex connectors. It also has 3 EPS/P4/AUX connectors which is interesting.
Once we open the FSP Hydro PTM PRO 12ooW packaging, we are left looking at the unit, power cord, mounting screws, ATX adapter plate, cables, and user manual. The user manual is one tiny folded up piece of paper and not terribly complete. Let’s move on to see what this unit looks like when we open it up!
