Performance Rating
FSP's product scores low in our relative performance chart.
Noise Rating
The graph below depicts the cooling fan's average noise over the PSU's operating range, with an ambient temperature between 30 to 32 degrees Celsius (86 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
Noise output isn't so impressive, but at least it surpasses the popular Seasonic Focus Plus Golf here, with similar capacity.
