Question Is FSP Aurum GOLD good psu?

[cediegamotin]

Is this a good psu? Like it won't blow up my system?

I play usually for 2-6hrs

I have:
I5 3470s
Gtx 960 2gb
8gb RAM
320gb HDD (will replace a 2tb HDD)
3x 500gb HDD
5 RGB fans

Aurum and Aurum CM are mediocre at best. It will do the job but the risk factor will be relatively high. Try to find something better if you can...

Im also considering seasonic s12ii or m12ii, looking for the best of two

They are good units, both basically similar except the modularity. The M12ii being fully modular, might be more expensive.

The FSP is much better than those Seasonic models.

But I have to ask... Why are you looking at 10 year old power supplies? All of these PSUs are "mediocre" because they're old as dirt.

We have a store here that still sells that PSU, and it is a reputable store

Still running a S12II in a 7yr old build, without any issues ever.
