CONCLUSION

   FSP (Fortron) has made a name of themselves over the years thanks to the many high quality and performance PSUs, not just under their own brand name but also several others. This is why the performance of the Dagger PRO didn’t surprise me one bit. Yes, it may not perform quite on par with some full-sized power supply units but it did exceptionally well for such a tiny SFX model. Rail stability was very good and as for output, well 850W should be plenty for even the most demanding CPU’s and graphics cards. Noise levels were the only “issue” during my tests but if you’re getting an 850W SFX power supply unit and plan on pushing it to around 800W you should expect that (even if the PSU didn’t make noise, the CPU/GPU /Case fans most certainly would).

   At the time of this review the Dagger PRO 850W SFX power supply unit by FSP retails for USD129.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 139.37Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is quite acceptable for what you’re getting in return. Performance, power output and build quality in a tiny enclosure, that’s what the FSP Dagger PRO 850W offers and for that it gets the Golden Award.
