Power supply units with 80Plus Bronze standard were rarity in earlier times and distinguished themselves by rather high cost. Nevertheless, nowadays customers are able to acquire PSU models with this standard for quite a moderate price. This is explained by the surplus congestion of products in the market and the need to supply different consumer groups with high-end, but at the same time, cheap PSU solutions. FSP Raider RA550 is characterized exactly by moderate price and high efficiency index. This allowed the very model of PSU to receive 80Plus Bronze marker.



Design and Framework


First of all, it should be mentioned that FSP Raider series is presented by several models which include RA 450W, 550W, 650W and 750W. PSU model under consideration, RA550 cannot boast a refined design template. Quite the contrary, it is developed in a classical design, with the provision of specifications on the side and rear plates. The casing is made of thin hard steel which is covered by a …

The Cooler Master vendor has introduced its latest Cooler Master Hyper H411R CPU cooler, compatible with processors, based on AMD Socket AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/FM2+/FM2/FM1, as well as Intel Socket LGA2066/LGA2011-3/LGA2011/LGA1151/LGA1150/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366/LGA775 platforms. The device is 136 mm high and weighs 358 g, which allows mounting it into space-saving systems, built on the microATX and Mini-ITX mother boards.



The Cooler Master Hyper H411R construction includes four 6 mm copper heat pipes, directly connected to the heat-dissipating processor cover, an aluminium heatsink, and a 92 mm fan, featuring the 600–2,000 rpm rotary speed and white LED backlighting. This cooler produces air flow of the 58 m3/h (34.1 CFM) capacity. The static pressure comes to 1.79 mm H2O, and the noise level doesn’t overcome 29.4 dBA.


The specialty’s time to failure exceeds 40,000 hours, and the manufacturer supplies its product with a 2-year warranty. The info about the Cooler …

A few words about…


   The first drives of the line with this name appeared in 2015. They were very similar to the 840 Evo, instead of planar crystals of 128 Gbps 32-layer 3D of the same capacity were used.

In the older model there is even the same tri-core MEX controller as in the 840 Evo, and the rest received dual-core, but improved MGX, working in combination with LPDDR2 memory with a frequency of 1066 MHz and a capacity of up to 1 GB. At the same time, the drive (like its predecessor) was positioned as a competitor to mid-range devices - at that time, mainly using MLC memory. However, even those had only a three- and not a five-year guarantee, which became the visiting card of the Evo family. Including, and appeared a little later modification of 2 TB - which at that time was a very serious value, so it required the emergence of a special controller MHX (at the same time, and DRAM-cache in this model was transferred to a faster LPDDR3-memory).
