Mondo Digital Updated on 2024-03-04

FSP Group officially released the Hydro Ti Pro series of power supplies in April this year, and there are currently two products with rated power of 850W and 1000W, and the "TI" in its name means that this series of power supplies have passed the 80PLUS titanium certification, and are high-end products with high efficiency, high power and low noise as the design focus.

FSP's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply not only has the power rating to meet the needs of the flagship platform, but also has obtained the Cybenetics Class A++ noise certification while passing the 80PLUS Titanium certification, and is currently priced at RMB 2,499 with a 10-year warranty.

FSP Group Hydro Ti Pro 1000W Power Supply Basic Specifications:

FSP's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply follows a traditional style in terms of exterior design, with a pure black color scheme that fully demonstrates its stability, while the matte finish on the surface shows a full texture, and the length of 15cm is a conventional level in kilowatt power supplies, which is easy to consider in terms of most installation compatibility. The fan grille and top cover are integrated design, and with the 135mm diameter fan, it visually forms a sense of fullness.

FSP's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply is 80PLUS platinum certified, supports 100V to 240V AC input, has a total output power rating of 1000W, and adopts a single +12V output design with a +12V output current rated at 8333A, equivalent to 1000W rated power; +5v vs. +33V is transferred from +12V through the DC-DC circuit, the output is rated at 20A, and the combined output power is rated at 120W; +5V standby is a rated 3A power supply, which is equivalent to 15W output power.

The power supply adopts a full module cable design, and the module interface is divided into four groups, the combination of 18pin + 10pin is used to expand the main power supply interface to 24pin, the 4 5pin interface is used to expand the SATA power supply and the D-type 4pin interface, and the 6 8pin is used to expand the CPU power supply interface and PCI-E power supply interface. The remaining is a native 12vhpwr module interface, which provides a total of 1 24pin main power supply, 2 8pin 4+4pin CPU power supply, 5 6+2pin PCI-E power supply, 12 SATA power supply, 4 D-type 4pin power supply interfaces, and 12+4pin 12VHPWR power supply interface.

The module cables of the power supply are divided into two categories, the 24pin main power supply and the 12vhpwr interface use the nylon network envelope design, while the rest of the interfaces use flat cables, of which the CPU power supply interface is 2 single-interface cables, and the PCI-E power supply interface is 3 single-interface cables with 1 dual-interface cable, which can just use up 6 8pin module interfaces. The length of all cables is more than 600mm, of which the length of CPU power supply cable and 12vHPWR module cable is 700mm, and the length of PCI-E power interface cable is 650mm and 650+155mm.

The AC input interface of the power supply has an independent switch, and it is also equipped with an independent switch of fan ECO mode, which can realize one-key switching between fan ECO intelligent temperature control and conventional temperature control mode, the former can realize the fan intelligent start and stop when the internal temperature of the power supply is low, and the latter fan will not stop, but will still adjust the speed according to the internal temperature.

The power supply is equipped with Protechnic Electric MGA13512XF-A25 fan as standard, 135mm diameter, 7-blade design, FDB liquid dynamic bearing, DC12V 038A input, the maximum speed is 2200rpm, and the speed regulation is achieved by adjusting the input voltage.

FSP's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply adopts a bridgeless PFC + full-bridge LLC resonance + synchronous rectification + DC-DC structure, and the module interface PCB is an in-line design, using all Japanese capacitors, and the internal space is fully utilized. Bridgeless PFC is a type of active PFC, and the difference between it and bridged PFC is that it uses a switch tube combination instead of a rectifier bridge, which has the advantage of lower energy loss, but it is higher than that of bridged PFC in terms of material cost and adjustment difficulty.

The power supply has a complete EMI circuitry, and the NTC is located next to the PFC inductor with independent relays; The main capacitor is a combination of daily 450V 680 F 105 and daily 450V 330 F 105, with an equivalent total capacity of 1010 F, which is very sufficient for a power supply with a rated power of 1000W; The position of the rectifier bridge is replaced by an array of 4 switches, configured with a separate PCB and clamped with two heatsinks; There are two PFC switch tubes and PFC diodes, which share one heat sink, and the four main switch configurations also share one heat sink; The +12V synchronous rectifier circuit is located on the back of the PCB, and the front of the PCB is equipped with an auxiliary heat sink. +5v vs. +3The 3V adopts a DC-DC design, shares the PCB with the fan control module, and uses a solid-state capacitor as the output filter. There are a large number of solid-state capacitors on the module interface for output filtering, and the overall materials are very solid.

FSP's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply specifications are as follows:

We conduct a 230V input balancing load test and ripple test at 120% rated power of the participating power supply, and the results of this test are not included in the calculation of the super energy index, but are simply used to observe the power margin of the power supply.

After FSP's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply is overloaded to 120% power, i.e. 1200W, the output voltage of each channel is still maintained at the normal level, and the change in conversion efficiency is also within the normal range. The OPP over-power protection point is measured to be 1503W, which is equivalent to 150 of the rated power3%, the reserved power space is relatively sufficient. The input power at no load at 0A is 6205W, there is no significant difference between the output voltage of each channel and the load voltage.

In terms of dynamic load, whether it is 10kHz high frequency or low frequency 50Hz, FSP Group's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply can well control the peak voltage, and the overall performance is trustworthy.

In terms of ATX 3 specification verification, the most important parameters in the industry are the conversion efficiency of 2% light-load output and the peak power performance under % instantaneous dynamic output. FSP Group's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply has a conversion efficiency of more than 74% at 115V and 230V input voltages at 2% light load, that is, 20W output, and the dynamic peak power test has also passed, which can basically determine that this power supply has ATX 3 related qualities.

PS: Overload to 120% power is required for evaluation, we do not recommend gamers to overload the power supply, if you do need higher output power, please use a product with a higher power rating.

FSP Group's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply is +12V, +5V and +3The 3V load regulation can be controlled within 1%, and the voltage deviation is also excellent, with +12V deviation within 1%, +5V and +3The deviation of 3V is no more than 2%, which is indeed the level of flagship products.

FSP Group's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W is an 80PLUS titanium certified power supply, with a conversion efficiency of more than 85% at 50W output, 91% at 100W, 95% at half load, 93% at full load, 95% at maximum and 94% at overall average efficiency in a 230V input environment. Under 115V input, the output range from 100W to 1000W can maintain a conversion efficiency of more than 91%, with a maximum conversion efficiency of more than 94% and a full load efficiency of more than 91%, which meets the requirements of 80PLUS Titanium certification.

Ripple and noise are AC components that are mixed in the DC output of the power supply, and if you observe it with an oscilloscope, you will see a slight fluctuation of the voltage up and down, like water ripples, so it is called ripple. Follow Intel ATX12V 30 provisions, +12v, +5v, +3The output ripple of 3V and the VP-P (peak-to-peak) of noise must not exceed 120mV, 50mV, and 50mV, respectively. We use a digital oscilloscope at 20MHz analog bandwidth to connect the decoupling capacitor at the measurement point of the fixture board according to Intel specifications, and measure the output ripple at full load and overload to 120% power, and use the ripple peak at low frequency as the scoring benchmark.

FSP Group's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply is +12V, +5V, +3 at 100% full loadThe 3V low-frequency ripple is 17MV, 11MV and 8MV, and after the overload to 120%, that is, 1200W, the power output ripple is slightly increased to 22MV, 14MV and 12MV, and the change amplitude is in the normal range, which shows that its ripple suppression is relatively excellent.

Cross load test project we follow Intel ATX12V 30 and ssi eps12v 292 requirements of power supply design guidance, develop a 1000w power supply cross-load diagram.

It is worth noting that we did not copy the design specifications as they were, but only selected the four test points that are more meaningful, namely the lower left, top left, upper right and lower right corners of the cross load box.

The meanings of these four points are as follows:

Lower left corner (point A): the minimum load of the whole machine;

Upper left corner (point B): maximum load of auxiliary circuit, minimum load of 12V, such as when multiple HDDs are started at the same time;

Upper right corner (point C): maximum load of auxiliary circuit, full load of the whole machine;

Lower right corner (point D): 12V maximum load, auxiliary minimum load, such as running 3D games with a single SSD;

The x-coordinate of the test point represents the total output power of +12V, and the Y-coordinate represents +5V and +3The sum of the output power of 3V.

The cross-load test is consistent with the previous uniform load test, with as little voltage deviation as possible from the rating, with a permissible 5% deviation rate for each channel.

FSP Group's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply is available at +5V and +3The DC to DC design is used on the 3V output, which is more advantageous in cross-load (pull deviation test), basically in different load environments, the voltage deviation trend of the three outputs is the same, and the performance is very good.

Hold-up time refers to the time when the voltage output value falls out of the range of 5% after the power supply is good, and we measure the hold time of +12V, +5V and Power-OK (power-good) signals.

ssi eps12v 2.92. The requirements for the output voltage holding time in the server power supply design guidance are that the holding time of the power supply should be greater than 18ms under 75% load, and the holding time of the Power-OK signal should be greater than 17ms; In the ATX 3 power supply design guide, the hold-up time requirement for each output voltage should be greater than 12ms at 100% load, and the hold-up time for Power-OK signals should be greater than 11ms.

Power-OK keeps 17ms means that the computer can continue to run without shutdown or restart in the face of a power-down situation within 17ms, and the voltage of each channel is maintained for 18ms or longer, in order to make emergency treatment for each hardware when a power failure occurs, such as the head homing of the mechanical hard disk and the power-down protection of the SSD.

FSP's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply holds at 75% load (DC output 750W) and 100% load (DC output 1000W).

At 75% load, FSP's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply has a +12V hold time of 36ms, +5V and +.3.v is 381ms vs. 382ms, and the power-ok hold time is 315ms, all three holding times meet the standard and the margin is sufficient; The performance at 100% load is also excellent, +12V +5V +3The holding time of 3V is 297ms、27.8ms and 278ms, and the power-ok hold time is 239ms, which is quite a margin compared to the specifications required by the ATX 3.

FSP's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply supports the ECO fan intelligent start-stop function, which can be manually switched to the conventional temperature control mode, according to FSP's description, in the fan ECO mode, the fan is in a standstill state before the power supply output load reaches 50%, but according to our actual test, the power supply needs to reach 70% output, that is, 700W, before its internal temperature is enough to meet the requirements of fan starting, and the fan will not keep rotating at this time. Although the starting speed will reach the level of 700rpm, more time is due to the standstill state, and the rotation will be maintained only after the output reaches 800W, and the fan speed is also directly floating from 1000rpm to 1100rpm when fully loaded, and the noise is indeed very low.

After switching the fan back to the normal temperature control mode, it is also necessary to wait until the output of 800W to have a significant increase in fan speed, and the speed of full load is also between 1000rpm and 1100rpm, so there is no need to consider the noise problem at all.

According to our current scoring criteria, FSP Group's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W power supply has a general performance score of 9403 points, ATX 3 performance score of 9465 points, all of which have reached the level of the top power supply, suitable for players who pursue power performance.

FSP Group's Hydro Ti Pro 1000W is fully in line with its high-end positioning in terms of performance, not only meeting the requirements of ATX 3 specifications, but also outstanding performance in voltage stability, conversion efficiency, output ripple and other aspects, its own strength is quite excellent, the appearance design is also full of texture, the 135mm direct silent fan not only provides good heat dissipation performance, but also satisfies the performance in terms of noise, which can be said to be a very pure high-performance ATX 3 power supply product.
