Hi there


Today is a great day as we see the launch of the BitFenix Fury power supplies which are built by FSP so the quality is fantastic and with the exclusive usage of Japanese capacitors throughout for improved lifespan. Also the other great feature is these Fury power supplies as standard come with Alchemy cables, anyone who knows modding will knows these cables are of superb quality and look absolutely amazing.

Here are the models:-


BitFenix Fury 550W Gold Modular Power Supply - Alchemy Cables @ £99.95 inc VAT

For a long time, the power supply is one part of the PC that users prefer to remain unseen. These dull, lifeless boxes were made to perform in the background, away from sight. Challenging the status quo, BitFenix set out to make a power supply that not only delivered on a performance level, but also utilized enough design elements to let it stand out in a system build. To that end, BitFenix announces the Fury Power Supply Series. Featuring top quality components like all Japanese capacitors, a killer design aesthetic, and top-notch efficiency, Fury is set to become the new gold standard in semi-modular power supply units.

Starting with the chassis, Fury brings a bold yet sophisticated design to the realm of power supplies. Both top and bottom are adorned with a stamped BitFenix logo, along with a custom aluminum ring accent that exudes an aggressive look no matter which direction you install it. Combined with a quality matte powder-coat finish, Fury is the first PC power supply that's designed to enhance the look of your system.

After taking the modding world by storm with the Alchemy lineup of sleeved cable extensions, BitFenix has brought its one of a kind Nanosleeve braiding to the Fury Power Supply. Each cable that comes with Fury is sleeved with Nanosleeve braiding for excellent flexibility and unsurpassed aesthetics. With Fury, modders will spare their warranties while saving hours of time sleeving their own PSU cables. Best of all, the semi-modular design allows builders to only use the cables they need, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow inside the system. For the boutique modded look with zero effort, look no further than BitFenix Fury.

All of this power is harnessed via several key components and technologies that make Fury a power supply users can rely on day in and day out. To ensure clean output and long life, Fury employs a design that utilizes all Japanese capacitors. Renowned for their quality and longevity, all Japanese capacitors puts Fury in a class above other PSU designs. A 135mm fluid dynamic bearing fan not only helps keep temperatures under control, but does so with minimal noise. Finally, Fury also comes equipped with BitShield Six-Point Protection, a series of safeguards that prevent damage to the PC caused by electrical anomalies, including under voltage, over voltage, short circuit and more. All of this is backed by a five-year warranty so users can use Fury with confidence.
Available in 550W, 650W, and 750W models, BitFenix Fury delivers a trifecta of performance, reliability and aesthetics perfect for today's high octane PC builds.

That's a good thing. I use a large quantity of FSP Aurum (500w, 750w, 1000w) and their failure rate is VERY low. Looking to get an OEM production run done shortly :)

Indeed I have Aurum 750W here, pretty good and also Hardware secrets like them and Hardware secret is a top PSU review site.



http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Bitfenix/Fury_750G/11.html

Scored 8.3 so not to bad:)

Bitfenix decided to enter the PSU market, which is obviously good news since another competitor entered the arena. However, I think they should have picked a better platform for their first PSUs since the Aurum platform clearly can't compete with similar offerings by the competition; it is based on a design that's focused on lowering production cost rather than offering high performance, which inevitably affects voltage stability under heavy loads significantly. The Fury-750G also doesn't meet Intel's Haswell compatibility requirements according to my test results; that is, with its current power specifications, since Bitfenix chose to raise the maximum combined power of the minor rails to 160 W, a lot of power for a modern system as today's 1 kW units only come with 100 W combined on the minors. The Fury-750G would have passed my Haswell test had the company only taken a more conservative approach, by dropping the combined power on the minor rails to 100 W.

It is crystal-clear that Bitfenix isn't addressing budget-oriented user or those after nothing but performance, as this is a unit for modders who want a PSU that is reliable enough, comes with great looks, decent performance, and sleeved cables of incredible quality. In that the Fury-750G succeeds, although I would have highly preferred it had the company picked another platform over this particular Gold-certified platform for mainstream units. Small heatsinks, the lack of a semi-passive operation, and a fan that rotates at high speeds all also culminate into a noisy unit. Since this is Bitfenix's first venture into the PSU market, a really tough arena, some errors were naturally made, but I expect them to learn from these mistakes to deliver a much better product next time around. The good thing with these guys is that their ears and minds are receptive, so I am sure that they will take my constructive criticism seriously. The Fury-750G has the looks as its individually sleeved cables are items most of you crave, and given the cost of the latter, its price is honest, but it unfortunately can't keep up with the competition in terms of performance. This doesn't make it a bad product as it just means that you can find PSUs with much better performance if you don't care for looks or incredibly well-sleeved cables. If modding is your primary interest and you want something nice but don't have the money to buy a topnotch Corsair or EVGA PSU with one of their optional cable kits for 90-100 bucks, the Fury units are the way to go, and although I don't approve of it, I am pretty sure many users out there buy a PSU based on its looks and cables without ever bothering to read a review to figure out whether if performs well or not.

Tech Powerup reviewed a 750w unit, this was their findings

Using the Aurum platform, Bitfenix teamed with FSP for their Fury PSUs. We come across this platform in the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750G, and it simply failed to impress us.

I think they should have picked a better platform for their first PSUs since the Aurum platform clearly can't compete with similar offerings by the competition; it is based on a design that's focused on lowering production cost rather than offering high performance, which inevitably affects voltage stability under heavy loads significantly.

FSP are indeed a high-end manufacturer, they just don't really focus their attention on the B2C market.

May be, but even considering that, the price seem a tad high comparing to say...Seasonic etc. £100 for a 550W, £116 for 650W and £130 for 750W does seem a little crazy. Even if it is high-end and fully modular...for that price, one would probably be expect them to be Platinum efficiency rated rather than Gold rated as well.

Alchemy cables, Alchemy cables, Alchemy cables.

An option which is £65 from Corsair, this is why they are higher priced.
 
The reality is Haswell testing needs to be officially certified by Intel and Fury has passed the test. That’s why we listed on spec it’s Haswell tested. As we’re not sure if this TechPower Up Haswell testing follow Intel certified standard, we’re still talking to the reviewer to see how he tested and why he has different result
