Have!

FSP Raider lol. Is in my gf pc.

I have to say FSP Raider is a rather poor quality PSU. IMHO, for Bronze PSUs, Seasonic is still one of the best out there, if not the best.

Their M12 II really perform very well for the price and Seasonic only use high quality capacitors.

And where did you read that they are of poor quality? Link please.

FSP raider series are one of the best budget PSUs out there. Not to mention their higher wattage series were rated bronze but hit silver efficiencies too. And they don't skimp on components used.

HardOCP did a review of the FSP Raider 750W and complained about the relatively bad voltage regulation when compared to competiting units. The rest are fine for a entry level PSU though.

HardwareSecrets also mentioned in a review of the FSP Raider 650W that voltage regulation are also not as ideal as they would have liked.

Relax guys.

FSP Raider 80+ Silver is slightly different from the reviews that state Bronze.

But regardless. Raider series is targeting the low budget segment area. Not meant to target power users.

At that point of time when i bought the FSP Raider 550w it is just at $69. Still got further discount as a bundle setup. If i were to average out the price, this PSU should falls below $60. For that price range i got nothing to complain about.

Furthermore my gf rig only a 7870 paired up with a 3350p.
