Built with ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 standards, this unit provides the necessary power delivery and compatibility for the latest high-end graphics cards and processors. Its 80 PLUS Gold certification ensures high energy efficiency, reducing power waste and heat generation during operation. The fully modular cable design allows for a clean and organized build, while the active cooling system maintains optimal temperatures under load.

Advantages

This power supply unit stands out due to its robust construction and adherence to the latest industry standards. The inclusion of PCIe 5.0 support ensures that users can power next-generation GPUs without the need for complex adapters. The 80 PLUS Gold rating guarantees that the unit operates efficiently across various load levels, which is beneficial for both electricity costs and system longevity. Furthermore, the active PFC and high-quality components provide stable voltage regulation, protecting sensitive internal hardware from power fluctuations.

Suitable for

• High-end gaming PCs requiring stable power for modern GPUs
• Professional workstations used for video editing and rendering
• PC builds utilizing ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 hardware standards
• Systems where cable management and airflow are priorities

This unit may not be suitable for ultra-compact small form factor cases that require SFX power supplies, as it follows the standard ATX form factor. Additionally, for systems with extremely low power requirements, an 850W unit might be overkill, and users might find more cost-effective options with lower wattage ratings.

Key specifications

• Power output: 850 W
• Efficiency rating: 80 PLUS Gold
• Form factor: ATX
• Cooling: 120 mm active fan
• Input voltage: 100 - 240 V
• Connectors: 24-pin ATX, CPU, PCIe, SATA, and Molex

How to use

To install the FSP Hydro GT PRO, mount the unit into the designated power supply bay of your PC case using the provided screws. Connect the 24-pin ATX cable to the motherboard and the necessary CPU and PCIe cables to your processor and graphics card. Since the unit is modular, only attach the cables you need to minimize clutter. Ensure all connections are firmly seated before switching on the power supply via the rear toggle switch.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your PC case supports the ATX form factor
• Check the power requirements of your specific CPU and GPU combination
• Ensure you have enough space for cable management behind the motherboard tray

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the power supply intake fan is not obstructed by case filters or dust buildup. Regularly clean the fan area to maintain efficient cooling and quiet operation.
