MODTHEBOX would like to thank Michelle from FSP Group
for sending the Fortron Blue Storm FSP400-60THN-R Power Supply for review.
Introduction:
Assembling a computer system can become a lengthy process, especially when attempting to balance good
system performance and functionality. One of the key components required for a high performance system
is a reliable power supply unit. Currently on the market there are several recognized manufacturers
that have established credible reputations for designing high quality power supply units with excellent
performance and warranty options. The FSP Group, based in Taiwan, has been manufacturing power supply
units for various companies since 1993, and recently developed new PSU models that promise silent
operation in either an AMD or Pentium 4 platform. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be evaluating the new
Fortron Blue Storm FSP400-60THN-R PSU from the FSP Group.
Specifications:
The Blue Storm FSP400-60THN-R Power is a first generation unit that offers the latest ATX12V v2.0 with
backwards compatibility. The unit is compatible with the latest Intel and AMD processors and features
Blue Storm Cooling Control Technology (BSCC) for whisper-quiet operation. Here are some specifications
taken directly from the FSP Group website:
