FSP has expanded its DAGGER GD series with new SFX power supplies that bring modern GPU connectivity to compact builds. These units matter because they natively support the PCIe 12V-2×6 standard, which eliminates the need for risky adapter cables on newer graphics cards. This direct connection improves safety and cable management for users building in small form factor cases.
FSP expands compact build options with ATX 3.1 compliant power units
The DAGGER GD series adheres to the ATX 3.1 and SFX 4.1 specifications, ensuring compatibility with the latest motherboard and chassis standards. FSP offers initial models in 650W and 850W wattages to cover a range of system power needs. The units measure 125x100x63.5 mm, which fits the standard SFX footprint for mini-ITX and micro-ATX builds.
Specifications
- Form Factor: SFX
- Wattage: 650W, 850W
- Standards: ATX 3.1 / SFX 4.1
- Efficiency: 80 PLUS Gold
- Warranty: 5 Years
Technical reliability is a key feature of this release, as the power supplies deliver 200% instantaneous power surge tolerance. This capability helps protect sensitive components during sudden power spikes from modern GPUs. The units also carry 80 PLUS Gold certification for energy efficiency and use fully modular cabling for cleaner installations.
Cooling is handled by a built-in 92mm fan with an FDP bearing, which aims to balance airflow and noise levels in tight spaces. FSP backs the DAGGER GD series with a 5-year warranty, providing long-term assurance for buyers. We looked at Aigo Xingcan EM Series SFX Power earlier while tracking Fsp launches, but this new entry focuses on the specific ATX 3.1 compliance.
The DAGGER GD series is now available in 650W and 850W configurations for users upgrading compact systems. These models provide a direct, native solution for powering next-generation graphics cards without adapters.
