FSP Hydro PTM Pro 750W Power Supply Unboxing and Overview

Marvin Gabriel

FSP without a doubt is one of the most popular and reliable brands when it comes to power supplies for a very long time now. I remember back in the day I was using an FSP Everest 80+ 600W power supply, and it served me well that it lasted more than most of the components of my PC. There is this saying that you should never go cheap (e.g. generic PSU) on your power supply as it is the backbone of your system when it comes to power delivery. If…

Marvin Gabriel

I’ve used multiple powerbanks in the past big and small, cheap and expensive, but nothing beats the one we have here today and was literally a lifesaver for me for the past week.

Aside from that, here in the Philippines, we’re experiencing some intermittent power interruptions due to multiple reasons that are quite frustrating especially for us working at home.
