The FSP450-60PTM power supply from FSP Group doesn't look that exciting, but it's world's first ATX form factor power supply to receive an 80Plus Platinum certification! At 50 percent load, this unit achieves an efficiency of 93.13 percent.

80Plus Platinum is the highest efficiency rating in the 80Plus program and is provided to (115V) units that have a measured efficiency of at least 90% at a 20% load, 92% at 50% load and 89% at 100% load. FSP's 450W power supply topped 90.79%/93.13%/91.89% during the test conducted last month.
