I'm trying to figure out the peak and continuous maximum output wattage of the FSP-530. Crash, if your listening, I would think you probably know.

Thanks.

Fortron is known for pushing the wattage on the case so if it says its a 530 it can most likely push 510 watts at 100% duty cycle, and possibly even 530w or higher.

The Fortron Source 530W is tested at 600W continously for a certain period of time. It's also rated at something like 11 years MTBF, which explains why it's labled a 530W max continous power supply. Somewhere, probably not too far beyond 600W, it will reset to protect itself.
