I tried using the great SFX power supply "FSP Dagger Pro" in ATX

　Even a heavy PC user who buys a high frequency and exchanges parts every time a new CPU or GPU comes out, may only have a long life of "power" and "case".In particular, if you buy high -quality items once, it will not break easily, so it is natural for five years to be used, and if you notice it, you can use the same thing for 10 years.The author still uses Silverstone's "Strider Gold" series, which was purchased in Cleverry (bankruptcy in 2012).

　As a result, I did not pay much attention to the "power supply" for a while, but the "Dagger Pro" released by FSP at the end of July was a little fascinated.

　This is because I purchased a Cooler Master super -compact ATX case "Masterbox Q500L" a while ago, but this Q500L has a power supply for smaller size.If you put a 240mm radiator at the top to make it a high -end configuration, the power supply will be slightly offset, but then the space for the video card will be squeezed, and the video card of over 270mm will not be entered.

　With the latest GeForce RTX 3070/3080 or higher models, the heat generated is significantly increased, so the cooler is larger and the card is long.The Q500L, which had enough time in the GeForce RTX 20/GTX 16 series, cannot be attached to the top extension slot in the combination with Strider Gold.

　I use the lower PCI Express slot on the motherboard to avoid interference, but this is a trick that can be connected with X16 because of Supermicro's "C9Z490-PGW".On the contrary, it will not be possible to incorporate it in the first place.In this case, basically there is only a replacement of the case.However, I really like the compactness of the Q500L MicroAtx.

MasterBox Q500Lはコンパクトさを実現するため前面に電源を配置するが、Strider Goldのような奥行きが180mmある電源を使用すると拡張カードの長さは限定される。簡易水冷を組み合わせるとクリアランスはさらにシビアになり、GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GameRock OCのような304mmのビデオカードだと、1～4段目のスロットに入らない

　So I noticed the Dagger Pro of the SFX power supply.Width 125mm, height 63.Not only the specifications of 5mm, but also the depth is only 100mm.With this specification, it seems that you can afford it even if you put it on the front of the Q500L.However, because the capacity of 850W is secured, isn't it okay to combine it with GeForce RTX 3080 TI?

　That's why I sent a Dagger Pro via a public relations, incorporated it into this environment and tried it, but it was just a bingo (even worn in ATX, the attached conversion bracket is used).This time, I combined it with Palit's super -large video card "GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Gamerock OC", but even if the video card was inserted into the top slot at the top of the motherboard, there was a lot of room for clearance.For the time being, I think that Dagger Pro is a very effective product, not only in environments such as mini-ITX but also in ATX environments with severe clearance.

iPhone 5Sと比べてみると、その小ささがよくわかる。これに850Wが詰まっているのだ奥行きが100mmしかないDAGGER PROだと、ビデオカードが最上段のスロットにラクラク入る。ちなみにC9Z490-PGWは拡張スロットが7段分あるので、6段しかないほかのマザーボードならさらにクリアランスが広がる。ケースに入る長さなら、どんなビデオカードでもOKだ

　There are some other benefits that I found out.The first is that even if the cable is a modular type, it is soft and easy to handle.By the way, 12V for CPU assistance and PCI Express cable are not divided from the tip of the device side to fork, but are divided from the base of the power to fork.The overall appearance improves because the cable can be put together near the power supply.

　As a 850W model, the cable/connector is small.In addition to the 20+4 -pin for the main, there are four PCI Express 6+2 pins for CPU assistance 12V, 4+4 pins, but the cable for driving and periferal is SATA × 3+for peripheral 4.Only one pin, 4 pins for SATA x 2+peripheral+4 pins for FDD.However, the storage is M.With the transition to 2 SSDs, this is unlikely that the general user will be short.

製品パッケージパッケージを開封付属品などDAGGER PROのラベルは両側に貼られており、ファンの向きに関わらずラベルが見えるファンは92mmで、負荷20%以下の場合はファンが回らない。実際の環境でもかなり静かだった各ラインの出力。+12Vだけで最大850Wの出力ができる一応開けてみた。パーツがギュッと詰まっている

　The other is the size and weight that is easy to hold in your hand.The power supply of ATX size is generally heavy, and when incorporating it into the case, many things are installed with "yeah pepper" while paying close attention so that they do not collide with other parts.A few years ago, when I installed a power supply, I experienced his first glance in his life and made him feel great, but in that regard, Dagger Pro was easily lifted with one hand and posture and joints.The burden on was small.In addition, the installation at the fixed position was extremely smooth because there were few interference with the surrounding area.

とにかく組みやすい大きさと重さ。これならどんな作業も苦にならない

　I didn't think that I often talk so far with one power supply unit, but Dagger Pro was a critical hit for the author.By the way, the price is less than 20,000 yen for 850W, and it is a conscientious price that is not a special form factor and a premium with a special form factor.Considering the compactness and ease of handling, isn't it a bargain?
