The specifications will be widely described on all pages of this review, but looking at the table above, we can already say that the expectations are high. The PSU promises to deliver 1kW, run quietly, and be compact.

 

Cables

All the cables are black and flat except for the PCIe 12V-2×6, which is braided. The braiding could be tighter as it would look better. It’s too loose and seems to take more space than it should. It could also be flat as it would look better and match the whole set. I’m not expecting separately braided cables as it would significantly bump the price.

The VITA GM offers enough for everyone. Most users won’t use more than one graphics card, so this set is more than enough. It’s also perfect for high-end CPUs.

Above is the mentioned PCIe 12V-2×6 cable. There is no problem with the connectors, and all the tests passed without issues on our RTX4080 graphics card.

 

AC/DC

AC Input 100-240V~ 12-6A 50-60Hz (Not for China)
200-240V~ 6A 50-60Hz (Only for China)
DC Output +3.3V +5V +12V -12V +5Vsb
Max Output Current 20A 20A 83.33A 0.3A 3A
Max Combined Power 100W 1000W 18.6W
Total Power 1000W

Even though FSP has a higher PSU series, the VITA GM has exceptional specifications, allowing it to reach 1000W of continuous load without problems. The latest ATX specification suggests there shouldn’t be problems with up to 2kW spikes. Pushing the PSU to the limits is not recommended. Still, considering the robust design, we don’t have to worry that anything happens during extended high-load gaming sessions with the highest wattage graphics cards and processors.

FSP promises efficiency between 90-94%. This is great for every type of home and office category PSU, and until recently, it was a standard for servers.

Even if we won’t use the full power, then the lower load guarantees us quiet work, and when the PSU fan spins slower, then sucks less dust inside and keeps it clean and in perfect condition for longer. The VITA GM doesn’t have the 0 RPM mode, but up to 30% load, the fan spins at about 450RPM.
