The Guru of 3D: FSP Dagger Pro (850W PSU) review
Today we’re putting the FSP DAGGER PRO 850 W power supply on our test bench. We recently have tester their 1200 W ATX unit. Besides the PSUs, they also make some chassis and the UPSes. The series was introduced at the end of August ’21, so it’s less than a year on the market. This fact shouldn’t make it obsolete yet, as a revolution will happen in the coming months due to the implementation of the PCI-Express 5.0 generation’s power connector.
