As I mentioned earlier, there are too many brands of power supplies out there to count. Today's rigs, especially GPUs, require a lot of power. An overclocked rig really needs clean power without a lot of flutter to remain stable, and a too-small or cheaply made power supply will overly stress your components, causing system instability and shortening the life of many components.

The FSP Group Power-Mod 700 should make a good addition to a mid-grade system running SLI or CrossFire, or a higher-end system running a single video card. It looks good, and the modular configuration helps with cable management.

My testing showed only a 0.3% voltage drop when maxing the CPU and a pair of GPUs, a negligible amount and well within the 5% industry standard.

The only thing I found not to like is the length of the cables. They were a little short for my particular style of cable management, which is normally hiding the extra slack of long cables in out-of-the-way places. But the shorter cables probably would be excellent in a budget-priced mid tower, which normally don't have a lot of hiding places for cables. I didn't try the Power-Mod 700 in a full tower, but I'm sure the cables would easily be long enough for use in one. But I'm sure that I would find them much too short for the same reasons as in the mid tower I used.

As I mentioned, the FSP Power-Mod Series isn't for sale yet. The FSP Everest Series 700 watt modular PSU sells for around $150, so I'd expect this power supply to be in the $150-$180 range, about what I would expect to pay for a high quality modular 700 watt power supply.

UPDATE: We just received word from FSP that the Power Mod 700 can be purchased via ShopFSP at a current price of $109.99.

The FSP Group Power-Mod 700 power supply earns the OCIA.net Seal of Approval!

Pros:

Looks good
Modular configuration
Excellent performance

Cons:

Some may find the cables a little short for cable management
