The FSP Hydro G Pro 1000W is one of the few gold PSUs in this capacity category, featuring ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compatibility. Its performance is passable, but not high enough to be featured in his best PSU article. Competitors such as the Corsair RM1000x and EVGA 1000 G7 have significantly higher overall performance scores.
With a maximum power of 1000W, Hydro G Pro belongs to a new generation of PSUs featuring compatibility with ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0. There are not many options for native 12VHPWR connectors in the 1000W gold category, and FSP is he one of the first companies to introduce related products.
Important players like Corsair, EVGA and Seasonic have yet to release anything on the market. Thermaltake, and Tough Power GF3 1000WSilverstone, DA1000R Goldthe other two choices in this category, meeting the ATX v3.0 specification for PSUs with 12VHPWR connectors.

With a depth of 150mm, the Hydro G Pro 1000 has compact dimensions. Nevertheless, the FSP is the smallest 1000W gold platform used in the EVGA 1000 G7 with a depth of only 130mm. Compact PSUs are easier to install, especially in smaller chassis, but a crowded PCB doesn’t encourage airflow, which usually increases noise output.
Additionally, it is not possible to fit a large enough cooling fan with a diameter of 135mm or 140mm into a small PSU, and the smaller fan would have to spin faster to provide the same airflow, making it louder. increase. The Hydro G Pro uses a high quality 120mm fan with fluid dynamic bearings.

The cable is long and has a sufficient number of connectors. A single 12VHPWR connector can deliver up to 600W. According to Intel’s test plan, a 1000W ATX v3.0 PSU should be equipped with a 450W 12VHPWR connector, but most brands don’t pay attention to this and use a 600W connector to power the NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card. Ensure that all functions can be performed. Up to 600W. However, not all 4090s have such a high maximum power limit.

A small PCB is equipped with a similarly small heatsink. Except for the transient filter, the rest of the circuit has enough space between electronic components to allow decent airflow. Good thing.
Usually for FSP platform there are some potentiometers on the vertical PCB, which you might want to adjust but you shouldn’t! The build quality is good and all the parts used by FSP are of good quality. . FSP is one of the few OEMs to use bulk caps rated for 3,000 hours @ 105°C. All other brands use bulk caps rated at 2,000 hours at 105°C.
