The FSP Group Hydro Ti PRO 1000 W is a 1000 W fully modular ATX 3.0 power supply with an additional fan mode. Priced at $299.99, the Hydro Ti PRO 1000 W can be purchased on various online retailers. Alongside this heavy price tag, the power supply itself is heavy, but it will give 1000 W of dependable, well-regulated, and efficient power. 

Though it has a steep price, it provides exceptional voltage regulation, steady excursion handling, and high efficiency at low loads, making it an excellent choice for power users. However, it lacks support for newer ATX versions and includes only a 12VHPWR cable, albeit with premium sleeving. As the first Titanium rated power supply we’ve tested, it sets the stage for efficiency levels, with high efficiency at low loads.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

THE GOOD

  • Cables

    The motherboard and 12VHPWR cables are sleeved for durability, while the rest are flat and flexible; a high-quality cable bag is also included.

  • Excursion

    Performs well during power excursions, delivering steady power with minimal voltage spikes or drops, particularly for 0.1 ms excursions.

THE BAD

  • Price

    A hefty and heavy power supply that has an equally hefty and heavy price tag.

THE REST

  • Overall

    Combines good voltage regulation during excursions and high efficiency at low loads, making it a solid choice for reliable and efficient systems.

Hardware
HardwareNotes

The FSP Group Hydro Ti PRO 1000 W is an ATX form factor power supply. In the Box, it includes sufficient accessories, providing plenty of cables, user documentation, mounting bolts, a cable bag, PSU tester, velcro cable ties, and decorative stickers. The included cables are flat and flexible, with the motherboard and 12VHPWR cable sleeved. All of this comes in sturdy packaging with dense packing foam. 

This unit is equipped with a 135 mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan. FSP does not specify an operating temperature range and we cannot verify this through testing.

Notably, the power ratings combine the -12V and 5Vsb wattages, which is uncommon and provides no clear technical advantage. Please note that in our ratings table we've split the wattage according to the typical ratios for the -12V and 5Vsb rails. We found no significant differences in the test results for the 5Vsb or -12V rails.

Features & Software
Features & SoftwareNotes

The Hydro Ti PRO 1000 W offers an additional hybrid fan mode. The Zero RPM mode is designed for quiet operation, stopping the fan when the load is under 50%. This mode is controlled with a physical switch on the rear of the power supply - FSP Group refers to this switch as “eco semi-fanless fan control switch”. 

This unit comes with all of the standard protections except UVP, though this is unlikely to cause any issue to user safety. This power supply is backed by a 10-year warranty.

PerformanceNotes

In terms of performance, the Hydro Ti PRO 1000 W demonstrated above average capabilities. During testing, the 12V rail showed a voltage drop of 0.140 V across the full 1000 W output, which remains within ATX specifications and is average with power supplies of this class. This power supply meets ATX ripple specifications, with a peak-to-peak ripple of 41 mV on the 12V rail under full load. The 5V and 3.3V rails also performed as expected, exhibiting signal ripples of 25 mV and 28 mV, respectively. The voltage deviation and voltage ripple were slightly higher than expected for a power supply with this price, though they are well within ATX specifications and not an area of concern.  

In terms of excursion testing, the power supply was able to deliver power without causing significant voltage spikes or drops, particularly for excursions lasting 0.1 ms. It should remain consistent despite the demands of the newer high-power GPUs.

Productivity & Efficiency
Productivity & EfficiencyNotes

With 80PLUS Titanium certification, the Hydro Ti PRO 1000 W achieves 94% efficiency at 50% load and meets Titanium's 10% load efficiency requirement for both 115V and 230V inputs. While efficiency dipped slightly to Platinum levels during some tests, this is common for PSUs at these loads. It's worth noting that 80PLUS Titanium is the only 80PLUS rating with a 10% load efficiency criteria, which this power supply met for both 115V and 230V efficiency. 

This power supply provided average resilience to brownouts and power dropouts, enduring 16 ms and 17 ms at full load for both 115V and 230V inputs, respectively. The OPP engaged at a maximum of 135% of rated load, with the 12V rail alone capable of 113 A, or 135% of its rating. This is equivalent to similarly rated power supplies offering good protection against component faults.

However, the 5V and 3.3V rails triggered at 165% of their rated load, which is higher than the norm. Despite combining the 5Vsb and -12V wattages in the ratings, the unit performed as expected for traditional separated rails. In addition, the power supply behaved strangely during our OPP test with 115 V input and it prevented the test from completing. The power supply was still operational, although it was behaving oddly during the test. Despite this, it passed the 230V OPP test that followed and delivered results as expected.
