Review FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W Platinum ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0




Introduction


FSP has shown us quality in every product I have had the opportunity to review and they recently sent us their new ATX 3.0 series PSU with PCIe 5.0 connection which powers the new Nvidia RTX 4000 series. This model is an upgrade from the regular PTM Pro series so we will see a little bit of what it has to offer.



Unboxing FSP Hydro PTM Hydro X Pro ATX3.0 PCIe 5.0


FSP presents a well known packaging offering relevant information that along with the small ribbon that FSP adds indicates that we have the source compatible with ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 with it we know that we can connect any Nvidia RTX 4000 card. On the other hand we find a fully modular power supply with flat cables that will allow us a good management of the same inside the cabinet and without forgetting that we have Japanese capacitors of last generation to provide the best performance of the same.


On the back of the packaging we find relevant information about the FSP Hydro PTM Pro such as its main features as well as in detail how the inside of it would look like and also showing that it is fully modular that we mentioned before and it is not superfluous to mention again which uses flat cables for better order.


They also show us the ECO mode which is an optional function for the user if you want to activate it or not with it will keep cooled the power supply until reaching an estimated load otherwise we have enough information about the FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W ATX3.0 PCIe 5.0.



On the sides we find information on the distribution of the rails in a small table that breaks down every detail and on the other side we find the amount of cables included. As we have seen the presentation offered by FSP in their packaging is excellent because the information is accurate for the user to know the product itself.



Accessories FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W ATX3.0 PCIe 5.0


The accessories that FSP includes are quite complete and offer everything necessary for the use of the Hydro PTM Pro and therefore a form of customization quite consistent with the brand already known.



Here is a breakdown of what is included with the FSP brand:


- Power cord

- Sticker for customization

- Screws for installation

- Product Warranty

- 24-Pin Cable

- GPU Cable

- 12VHPWR GPU Cable (12+4 pin)

- CPU Cable

- Molex Cable

- Sata Cable

- Floppy cable

- Velcro straps with FSP logo

- Power supply tester


As we could appreciate the amount of accessories and all the wiring is complete to perform the installation so we will not have major problems.

 

Technical Specifications




FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W Platinum ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0


When looking at the Hydro PTM Pro 1200W Platinum we see an excellent job by FSP its extremely careful design in matte black make it very elegant and very well built. The dimensions are 150X190X86mm a size larger than other models we have reviewed so the difference is considerable but nothing exaggerated.



As mentioned on the sides we have the option of customization through some Stickers that are included in green and red which allow us to change a little our source, although it is something that FSP has shown not only in this model but in others of his authorship something that will attract the attention of the most enthusiastic users.


In the part of the modular connections of the FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W ATX3.0 PCIe 5.0 are well marked to avoid connecting something wrong and as we have a new connector 12VHPWR for the new Nvidia now we will see it in this model so that part is excellent because it maintains the original design and offers compatibility with the PCIe 5.0.


In the other part we find the connection for the power cable and the on/off button and the ECO Mode button which has the purpose of making our power supply have a hybrid mode so we will not have the fan permanently active but when the load exceeds 30% the fan will be activated at a certain speed and as it would go up depending on the load itself, but this is an option for the user that can be activated or not.


And at the bottom we have the label that shows a complete description of the power and its distribution in each of the rails, as well as more remarkable information of their protections or other relevant data of this product of the FSP brand.


As we have been able to appreciate the design of the FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200 W ATX3.0 PCIe 5.0 has been excellent as its construction is quite solid and has very good components that make it ideal for Gaming and enthusiast apart from it has a fully modular design which allows to effectively order all the wiring inside the cabinet as we can choose what we need to install. Besides it is compatible with the new RTX this is a very good choice for gamers looking for power and quality.



Performance Testing


Test Equipment



Methodology


First of all, we perform the tests using the AIDA64 Engineer program which has Test to measure the load of our equipment and in turn verify its consumption and also the variability that may exist in each of the main rails with which we can see if our test equipment is stable or not. Each test will take approximately one hour for stock configuration and also for an Overclocking configuration so we will know if our equipment is stable.


FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W Platinum ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 Installation




FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W Platinum ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 Tests


We have subjected the power supply to the AIDA64 Engineer stress test to analyze the regulation it offers of the voltages on the +12V, +5V and +3.3V rails. As we can see at all times offers values very close to the theoretical values, being very stable in the test with little variation that in the end is not relevant in its operation, so it is within what marks the ATX standards.


The graph shows the little variability that we will have using the equipment at full power or in more demanding environments such as overclocking so the FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W offers very good stability and excellent power delivery so its performance is more than excellent and with this we record that fully meets the ATX standard.


As for its consumption in CPU load (W) the increase is palpable with Overclocking since in the default configuration of the test equipment maintained normal margins according to what Intel mentions so the use of more energy is confirmed if we perform Overclocking.



Final Conclusions


The FSP Hydro PTM Pro 1200W Platinum is an excellent power supply highlighting its stability in each of the rails and very low noise in the fan. Its power offers the ability to adapt to the user's needs being compatible with the Nvidia RTX Series as it offers the 12VHPWR connector. In addition, it offers excellent energy efficiency 80 plus Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum so we are more than guaranteed its excellent performance.


The Hydro PTM Pro Series comes in variants ranging from 850W to 1200W with this 1200W model retailing for $270 in online stores.
