Question FSP Hydro PRO 700W or Corsair CV 650W?

[Senn]

My budget is limited and the two most expensive power supplies that I could afford (which are sold in my country) are:

• FSP Hydro PRO 700W [link]
• Corsair CV 650W [link]

I know these are not good power supplies, but if you had to choose between the two, which would you choose?

FSP Hydro PRO 700W looks better to me:

• 700W > 650W
• It has protections: OCP/OVP/OPP/SCP (for Corsair CV 650W these are not mentioned at all)
• It also has various features listed that are not even mentioned for Corsair CV 650W : "Efficiency ≥ 88% @ typical Load", "Active PFC ≥ 0.9" and so on...

On the other hand, there is no warranty mentioned anywhere for FSP Hydro PRO 700W, while for Corsair CV 650W there is + MTBF hours is also mentioned:

Corsair CV 650W:

• MTBF hours: 100,000 hours
• Warranty: 3 Year

Thanks!

3 years is not a good indicator of quality.
I think the fsp hydro pro warranty may be 5 years.

For quality, you really want to see a 7 to 10 year warranty.

I just found another option (which fits my budget and is sold in my country): Thermaltake Smart BM2 650W [link].
Not sure if it's better than FSP Hydro PRO 700W (I guess not big difference) 🤔

OR: ADATA XPG Pylon 650W [link]
