PSU: FSP Hydro 500W 80+ Bronze

Here is the power supply unit of my Skylake Hackintosh Build.

FSP Hydro 80 Plus Bronze

Hail Hydro!

To be honest I initially wanted a modular unit but this particular model had great online reviews compared to similarly spec’ed PSUs. I also considered the fact that my chassis has great cable management space which can easily accommodate the extra cables from this PSU. Another nice feature is that all the other cables are flat-type and nicely coloured flat black, which is one of my non-negotiables for this particular build. For its relatively inexpensive price and great reviews which is backed by a 5-year warranty, how could I go wrong with such a solid PSU choice?

: Ample connector options

In my opinion, the FSP Hydro 500W 80+ Bronze is a solid PSU choice if your building not so fancy setup where you don’t have a requirement for a lot of of juice. It can power up a rig with a GTX 970, four disks, a little bit of LED lighting, enough fans for cooling and all your basic PC accessories without any issues. What’s your go-to PSU for your builds and why? Do share your PSU preference in the comments section below.

Bucket List #4: Attend an E3 convention, Comicon or something similar

#KidForLife (October 12, 2019) This post is a year late, and thanks to COVID-19 most of us are feeling an extra bit older than we should be. But finally having some ‘me time’ to rummage through my photos, I scrolled to this event and couldn’t help but feel nostalgic and remember how this bucket list item made me feel like a child again...
