I traveled to Vancouver for a vacation a few weeks ago. One of the items on my list was to visit the local office for the company I work for, as I have some friends there. My wife thought it was strange that I would show up to work while I am on my time off, but to me, it is not work if I get to hang out with friends. I ended up talking to way more people than I expected as word got around, but one of the more interesting conversations I have had was the idea of having the mindset of excellence. I shared about the importance of being excellent in every way, as our standard should be benchmarked against the best in the world and not necessarily just the people we know. And while we may or may not be rewarded for it, we have nothing to lose in the end, because the worst that could happen to us is we level up in our skills. I believe this mindset can be applied in more than just our careers, and it seems FSP had this in mind when they designed the MEGA TI power supply. The MEGA TI not only pushes the limits of power output at 1650W, which is the most powerful PSU we have ever reviewed here at APH Networks, but also top tier when it comes to certifications, including 80 Plus Titanium and Cybenetics ETA Titanium for efficiency and Cybenetics LAMBDA A++ for noise. This usually means an obscenely long dimensions and price, but the MEGA TI comes in a surprisingly reasonable package at only 18.0cm deep, and you can pick one up for just $450. FSP also throws in a few surprises, like a conformal coating for reliable operation harsh environments. Did FSP just build the best PSU in the world? How did they do it? I took one apart to find out.
Our review unit of the FSP MEGA TI 1650W arrived in a medium-sized brown corrugated cardboard box from the company's American headquarters in Chino, California, USA. Using UPS Standard, our MEGA TI 1650W arrived in excellent condition to us here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada for our review today.
Inside the shipping box is the FSP MEGA TI 1650W's retail box. As you can see in our photo, the photo of the power supply itself is shown prominently across the front with a shadow glow on the predominantly black box to give it an air of sophistication. Otherwise, a shiny FSP logo is printed at the top left corner, while the MEGA TI branding and 1650W rating is seen at the bottom. Some arrays of icons show off its features. The right array includes an 80 Plus Titanium badge, Cybenetics Titanium certification, and Cybenetics Lambda A++ certification. The left array includes Japanese brand bulk capacitor, full modular design, and 10-year warranty. There is a plastic handle at the top for you to easily carry the box. The remaining sides have a little more detail in presentation, which you will find the modular cable configuration, more photos, specifications highlights in various languages, and a power output table.
