Closer Look
The interior of the MEGA TI doesn’t remind me of anything I have seen before from FSP PSUs. It’s one more FSP design, and once more, it is based on top-quality components.
Everything inside is clean, and the soldering is excellent. The photos show how amazing everything looks.
There are few heatsinks that don’t take up much space, but this is what we expect from a highly efficient design. The whole design suggests there were no problems with overheating any component. Everything is quite tight, but we don’t feel like there can be any problem because of that.
All the visible capacitors are rated at 100°C or more. All primary and secondary capacitors are Japanese and made by either Nippon Chemi-Con or Rubycon. We rarely see three main capacitors, but they are hard to miss and take up significant space here. The main capacitors are rated at 450V and 560uF.
Under the cover, we will also find a Protechnic Electric fan. The fan is marked as MGA13512XF-A25 and rated 12V 0.38A. We can’t say much about it (since it’s new and barely used) except it doesn’t make a noise, and most of the time, it does not even spin because of the PSU design. During mid to high load, we still expect it to spin at about 600-800 RPM, which is very quiet and hardly audible when the PSU is inside a PC case.
The fan has fluid dynamic bearing and typical dimensions of 135x135mm.
As with the previous FSP PSU series, we may mention how the fan acts after a few months of work. During the tests, it was barely audible.
The generated noise is about as high as in the FSP specifications, but we also couldn’t load the PSU to 100% using popular components and couldn’t register more than 33dB (measured from 1m). The typical home noise during the day is around 35dB, and the office is even higher, so it’s hard to separate the PSU noise from the ambient noise.
Performance
Tests on the Intel platform contained the overclocked i9 14900K CPU, MSI Z790 Ace MAX motherboard, overclocked Colorful RTX4080 Advanced OC graphics card, and additional components to bump the wattage. The peak wattage is around 1000W.
All results were performed on a PC with an open case and ambient temperature around 24°C.
There were no stability issues during all tests. The stability and culture of work are exceptional.
The ripple is minimal, as the specifications say. The 12V rail was perfect during low and high load tests, precisely what we expect from a Titanium-class PSU.
The PSU was silent during idle and mixed load tests. As I mentioned earlier, the fan was barely audible under full load. It’s one more FSP PSU that doesn’t make problems with noise, and it’s even better than the previously tested 1000W+ Platinum-rated PSUs.
The mixed load test will be the closest to the daily usage, which is about what we can expect while playing less demanding games or some more demanding office tasks. During this work, the PSU is just perfect. It’s silent and delivers stable voltages.
The PSU is designed to work with the latest graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD. The new Nvidia graphics cards use 12VHPWR or 12V-2×6 standards. The MEGA TI officially supports two 12V-2×6 connectors but is backward compatible with 12VHPWR. We had no RTX4090 or RTX5090 to test with our PSU, while lower cards were not causing any problems. Power connectors were at acceptable temperatures, up to about 45°C.
The MEGA TI is definitely the best PSU we reviewed, so we can recommend it without hesitation to all users needing a high-wattage PSU.
