FSP Epsilon 700w ATX PSU
Connectors
With 700w on tap, you certainly don’t want to be short changed when it comes to the number of devices that you can hook up. Most power supplies nowdays offer 2x PCI-E, 6x Molex and 2x SATA as a minimum, but will the Epsilon have more to offer?
It’s good to see that FSP have decided to sleeve all cables right to the very last connector. Many manufacturers only sleeve some of the cables, or sleeve up to the first connector on every cable. The sleeving job is professional with cable ties holding the sleeving in place, and heat shrink keeping everything neat and tidy.
All connectors are finished in black, with the molex connectors adopting the ‘easy grip’ design, which should make removal of the connectors from devices easier.
The ATX connector on the Epsilon is native 24-pin. However, as you can see above, a small block of 4 connectors can be broken off to switch the connector to 20-pin, and thus make it compatible with older motherboards.
This is also true for the 8-Pin EPS12v connector which can be split in half, providing the user with a 4-Pin P4-12v connector.
