OC3D Review: FSP Booster X3 300w 12v PSU
Looking to go SLI / Crossfire, but don't fancy upgrading your faithful 400w PSU?
Or maybe you're looking for a way to power that peltier, but don't fancy forking out £80+ for a Peltier PSU?
Check out the review of the Booster X3 HERE

Looks like a great option for those who wanna upgrade to SLI/Crossfire and have an inadequate PSU
Also maybe someone with an OEM machine who wants to add a meaty GPU/other accessories

How sweet is that; what an awesome idea. I love the front fascia, it looks almost holographic.  Great review as usual Jim

Wow another great invention by Fortron. That's an absolutely great idea, a great alternative to a brand new PSU.
Where did you find about this one Jim?

didnt look bad but they should have done something to improve cooling and reduce noise from fans.
silence is important these days.

Yes it is a bit of a shame that its quite noisy under load. There are quieter 60mm fans on the market that FSP could have used, but obviously this isnt always possible from a business pov.

one thing they could have is to make a removeable door beneath where a bigger fan could be mounted for those who choses too.
for example an 80mm fan.
