With a decent voltage regulation and its unusual looking case the FSP Aurum CM models are the first real consumer products from FSP which could be very intersting for customers who want to get a high efficiency on the cheap. Of course the ripple & noise results should be better and the cooling could be semi-passive but for a first serious step into the consumer market FSP made a very good job.
Pricing on the Aurum CM 750W currently sits at around $155, while the lower wattage 650W model goes for a slightly lower $140. (Also note that the new Aurum CM series isn't the same as the previous Aurum series.) If you want to get the Aurum technology with another case we can recommend the new Straight Power series from be quiet!, a German brand that uses many FSP designs for their products.

In Holland I payed 90 euro incl. shipping, for the 700 watt version without the modular cables (FSP Aurum 700). I have been very happy with mine (Computer: 5850*2, 10HD's, Q9550@3.6GHz, etc., etc.).Also see the review at:

UMM???FSP's products are almost allways in the "You-get-what-you-pay-for" class. This goes for the high-end as well as low end parts.
Please consider that FSP has a huge range and DOES produce low-end (even if not "trash"-end) parts.
To my experience, most of the time, they are either cheapest or on par with competition at a given price point. Though nobody does miracles for peanuts in the PSU business ...

$155 is too expensive.I picked a Seasonic X-760 at Microcenter one months ago for $149.

It's nitpicking, but I'm disliking the use of the by the way abbrevation.Is a full review upcomming? I'm having a bit hard time getting any solid information except for the numbers from this 'rushed' article.
But on the other hand, I never say no to more content from Anandtech, it was worth the time reading it :).

Can we finally compile all these PSU reviews into say the "Anandtech PSU Charts" so we can really compare the ones you review?etamin - Thursday, July 21, 2011 - link
You can get a seasonic x750 gold on newegg right now for 166 shipped. It's a shame there are so few 100% modular psus with quality performance and conservative designs.ratbuddy - Saturday, July 23, 2011 - link
What use would a 100% modular PSU be? Everyone's going to use at least the 24 pin and CPU connectors, no reason to add cost making those detachable.dhiiir - Friday, July 22, 2011 - link
Fast economic development, science and technology quickly.Is a full review upcomming? I'm having a bit hard time getting any solid information except for the numbers from this 'rushed' article.The store's products, the quality is really good. Cheap, authentic. There are genuine brand-name shoes and clothes. Now share it with everyone.-.www.upsfashion.com- I believe you will like it.
