2 FSP
The best price / power ratioA country: Taiwan
Rating (2019): 4.8
In the field of computer hardware, the key to survival is product diversity. But the FSP, founded in 1993 in Taiwan, is a good example of a different approach. The company is engaged in the development and production of a huge list of batteries. These include: power supplies for home computers and industrial devices, power supplies for televisions, phone batteries, power adapters, etc.
The list of products in the assortment of the company is surprising. Yes, this is not a record for the number of models, but for availability - the undoubted leader. The price tag varies from insanely low 800 rubles to 11 thousand for top models. Take, for example, an inexpensive FSP Group ATX-750PNR-Q. This is a 700 W power supply with all the necessary ports and a price tag of only 3.5 thousand rubles! It was possible to achieve such pleasant results due to the simplest design, inexpensive wires and the absence of unnecessary “bells and whistles”. Almost all models of the company differ in this.

1 Chieftec
The largest range of power suppliesA country: Taiwan
Rating (2019): 4.8
It seems that in 1990 in Taiwan there was a real boom in the production of components for PC, because besides the already familiar Enermax, Chieftec was also founded at that time. The field of activity of the company is small - computer cases and power supplies, but the scope is pleasantly pleasing. Currently, there are 83 BP models on sale in Russia.
The most affordable model - Chieftec GPB-300S - costs only 1,800 rubles. Subsequent models differ in increments of only 100 rubles! You can choose an affordable model, with a nice design, modular cables and many, many others - the choice is really huge. Pleasantly pleased with the presence in the company's range of power supplies not only ATX format, but also SFX and TFX. Also note that the company's products are perfect for assembling the most powerful gaming or work systems. What is the cost of BP at 1450 watts. It is even difficult to imagine where such power is useful.
There is a minor drawback: the presented models have only three types of 80plus certificates - simple, Bronze and Gold. The maximum level (Platinum) is not in any model.
