What happened
Tom's Hardware reviewed the FSP Mega GM 1200W power supply, an in-house FSP platform that reportedly exceeds its 80 Plus Gold efficiency rating. The unit features a compact footprint unusual for a 1200W PSU. The review covers cold and hot test results, build quality, and overall verdict.
Why it matters
Minimal practical impact for this audience. Only relevant if you are spec'ing a high-wattage workstation for local AI/ML training or a homelab server and care about PSU efficiency tier vs. actual performance. The review is a hardware enthusiast piece, not a developer or AI tooling story.
Discussion angle
Skip this segment unless someone in the group is actively building a local AI training rig and wants to discuss PSU sizing for multi-GPU workstations.
