Endorfy Supremo FM6 1000W Power Supply Review
How Much Does it Cost?
The Endorfy FM6 1000W hits an incredibly attractive price point of just £123. This positions it as offering exceptional value for money within an extremely competitive market, especially considering the premium features it offers, hardware support, cooling performance, and the quality of its power delivery. You can pay more than double this for some brands for little or no added benefit, making this a bargain that’s hard to ignore.
Overview
The Endorfy FM6 1000W power supply stands out as an appealing option for system builders seeking a high-wattage unit that isn’t going to break the bank. It delivers massive power with an 80 Plus Gold certification, as well as the newer Cybernetics Platinum certification, helping you save a little more money on your electricity bill.
Great Features
The fully modular cable design makes it easy to achieve a clean build with optimal aesthetics and airflow. Built with 100% Japanese capacitors throughout, it adds peace of mind to its reliability, as does the very reassuring 10-year warranty; Endorfy certainly have confidence in the reliability and longevity.
Embracing the latest ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, this PSU is future-proofed for the latest flagship and next-generation of power-hungry graphics cards and motherboards, and has a native 12VHPWR (12v-2×6) connector.
Ease of Use
From the outset, Endorfy prioritises a straightforward user experience. The packaging is informative, clearly displaying key features, specifications, and even cable lengths. The fully modular design is a significant advantage, allowing users to connect only the necessary cables, minimising clutter and simplifying cable management within the PC case. Plus, it’s a surprisingly compact PSU, so it will be compatible in many ATX systems that are a bit tight for space.
Performance
The Endorfy FM6 1000W demonstrates impressive performance across our testing. Voltage regulation is excellent, with average deviations staying within 1% across all rails, ensuring stable and accurate power delivery to system components. Power efficiency is also noteworthy, achieving both 80 Plus Gold and Cybernetics Platinum certifications, indicating minimal power waste. While ripple levels are well within acceptable ATX specifications, ensuring stable operation, some modern PSUs do even better, but often cost much more too. The Over Power Protection (OPP) worked as intended, but the PSU did draw 1500W at peak, which is really high and could likely be set a little lower, but it’s good to see the PSU can handle a few hundred extra watts for a short burst if needed.
Aesthetics
While the design is pretty simple, Endorfy has managed to deliver a clean and stylish power supply, and the embossed side logos are a nice touch compared to simple stickers. The ample ventilation on the top and back ensures good airflow, and the fan has a nice design too; not that you’ll be looking at it very often. The fully modular design not only aids in cable management but also contributes to a cleaner overall look inside the PC case.
Should I Buy One?
The Endorfy FM6 1000W has a very attractive price point of £123. For your modest investment, it offers a high wattage output, future-proofed connectivity with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 support, excellent voltage regulation and efficiency, and a reassuring 10-year warranty, while also offering surprisingly quiet operation, making it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for big power on a smaller budget.
