All the cables are black and flat except for the 12VHPWR cables, which are braided. It could also be flat as it would look better and match the whole set. Even better would be to sell the PSU with all cables separately braided in the high-end style, so enthusiasts wouldn’t spend additional money, especially since the 1350W PSU is clearly an option for enthusiasts and power users, and these units aren’t cheap. On the other hand, barely any brand delivers braided cables for their PSUs, so it’s not such a big deal.
All cables come in a pouch, so we can keep all the modular cables that we don’t need there. It’s quite popular in the high-end PSU series.
As you can see above, the tested 1350W version of the PSU has two native 12VHPWR cables in the new 12V-2×6 standard. Most competitive PSUs won’t give us more than one, so here is a little advantage that becomes significant if we decide on a multi-graphics card setup with top Nvidia cards.
The new connectors have been improved to secure the sockets and pins. These connectors will be revised again in some months, so FSP will definitely make one more update. However, all are backward compatible, and the cables themselves are interchangeable.

The Hydro PTM Pro has strong specifications, allowing it to reach 1350W of continuous load without problems. FSP even suggests there shouldn’t be problems with up to over 2.5kW spikes. It’s not recommended, but considering the robust design, we don’t have to worry that anything happens during extended high-load gaming sessions with the highest wattage graphics cards and processors.

A high-end RTX4090 or RX7900XTX gaming PC that uses top desktop AMD or Intel processors shouldn’t exceed 800W, even after overclocking. If we add more components, then we may pass it, but without overclocking, it will be hard to reach 1kW, not to mention 1.35kW. Unless we have a large PC with multiple additional devices on our minds, we can probably save some money and buy a lower-wattage unit of the same high quality. FSP has many other options on offer, including highly efficient 850W SFX units, so we can decide to build a powerful yet small gaming PC.

Even if we won’t use the full power, then the lower load guarantees us quiet work, and when the PSU fan doesn’t have to spin, then sucks less dust inside and keeps clean and in perfect condition for longer.
