FSP VIC BD 550W
FSP VIC BD 550W
The FSP VIC BD 550W power supply powers individual hardware components inside your PC case. It delivers electrical energy to the motherboard, processor and other connected components. Active PFC with a value of 0.9 stabilises the supply voltage during unexpected power grid fluctuations. The unit operates with an input AC voltage ranging from 200 to 240V at a frequency of 50 to 60Hz. The design complies with the ErP/EuP 2013 ecological standard for low power consumption in standby mode.

Choosing a power supply
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, wattage is the key parameter alongside the form factor. It indicates the maximum number of watts the power supply can continuously deliver to the computer components. We recommend using an online calculator to determine the optimum power output based on your selected components.
Stable performance
The power supply meets the specifications of the current ATX 3.1 and EPS 2.92 power standards. The design with a DC-to-DC module increases overall efficiency during voltage conversion and improves stability on the +3.3V and +5V rails. The device delivers combined power on the +12V rail of up to 549.6W with a current of 45.8A. This output is sufficient to power modern graphics cards and multi-core processors.
Quiet operation and cooling
An integrated 120mm diameter fan takes care of dissipating excess heat from the internal parts. The integrated HDB bearing reduces operating noise and extends the mechanical lifespan of the entire fan. Active cooling continuously adjusts the speed based on the current temperature of the internal components. The manufacturer tested performance parameters at an ambient operating temperature of 25°C.
Protection systems
The power supply unit includes a comprehensive suite of safety features to protect your hardware. These include OCP, OVP, SCP, OPP, UVP, OTP, SIP and NLO protection systems. The built-in main capacitor handles temperatures up to 105°C and helps smooth out voltage peaks. The hold-up time is 12ms at 100% system load. A safety switch on the back allows quick disconnection from the mains.
Design and cabling
The non-modular cabling features embossed black wires that are soft and flexible. These cables make it easier to organise the wiring inside the PC case and improve airflow. The hardwired cables power the motherboard and other components without contact resistance. The motherboard power cable measures 50cm and the processor cable is 80cm long. The total weight of the device is 1.675kg.

80 Plus certification in the European market
The 80 Plus certification was created to objectively evaluate the efficiency of computer power supplies, providing users with a simple and clear comparison of different models. In the European market (where 230V voltage is used), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification with specified requirements for power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily translates to lower power consumption.
