In the production of PNR power supplies, the FSP manufacturer, in order to save money, decided to completely abandon the use of even the most basic quality certificates of the 80+ White and 80+ Bronze level. This is a general standard for assessing the quality of a power supply, which evaluates the efficiency of the model, the quality of its elemental base, the ability to work under overload and the level of noise emitted. The problem is that you have to pay for the crust, Gold or Titanium, so when producing this line, the manufacturer prefers to name the efficiency for each specific model.


FSP has a small marketing department, so new lines are rarely launched, and products are updated only when it really makes sense, and not just when you want to remind yourself once again. Over the more than 10-year history of the PNR series, 4 power supplies have been released - the classic PNR with a power of 400 or 450 W, the more powerful all-black PNR Pro, as well as 2 modifications with the indices I and Q in the name, which differ slightly in the set of built-in protections and cable layout.

In the name of the idea of making things high quality and affordable, FSP engineers put literally everything they could under the knife. There is no backlight, there is no software to control the turntable, and there is no beautiful packaging either. At the same time, the cables are short, the appearance is as mundane as possible, there is nothing in the box except the power supply itself. Having a cable noodle usually allows you to connect a processor, motherboard, several different types of drives and one mid-range video card to the system. The typical power reserve for FSP PNR power supplies is 400 – 450 W; in the case of the Pro model, the limit rises to 600 – 700 W.
