Conclusion and Verdict
The Dagger Pro 850W is a little but powerful SFX PSU. It’s one of the highest wattage PSUs available in the SFX size what makes it a very interesting option for all those who want to build a small gaming PC with a high-end graphics card. Most expensive graphics cards have a recommendation of 650W+ PSU, while not many SFX PSUs are available at this wattage. The Dagger Pro gives us freedom of choice as it will work with every possible graphics card on the market, or even two as four 8-pin power connectors let us connect more than one card.
The PSU is quiet up to about 50% load. Above that, we can clearly hear it, and the PSU is far from silent. On the other hand, it’s also not very noisy, and if we are using high-end hardware with air cooling, then the PSU noise will probably disappear in the noise of other devices.
The build quality is high. FSP used top components and put everything together in a small package. It’s amazing how tight everything was installed, and it still runs at acceptable temperatures.
A 10-year warranty covers the Dagger Pro 850W PSU. It’s a lot and at the same time confirms that the manufacturer is not afraid about the quality of its product.
The FSP Dagger Pro 850W PSU costs around $200 in the Amazon store. It’s not cheap but pretty reasonable for an 850W unit in so a small size. It’s hard to find competitive products as barely any brand decided to release SFX PSU at 850W.
Pros:
- High efficiency
- 850W in a small package
- Fully modular
- SFX-to-ATX adapter bracket
- four 8-pin PCIe connectors
- 10-year warranty
Cons:
- Not so quiet under higher load
- Cables could be braided
Final words:
If you are looking for a high-quality, well-built SFX PSU that can deliver a lot of power, then the Dagger Pro from FSP should be your top option. Whether you are a gamer or computer enthusiast, you won’t find many PSUs as good as the Dagger Pro 850W in the SFX size. This little PSU can handle the most powerful ITX gaming PC.
