Only in one review: Current 8.3 A (100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply in metal case); In test 60 W (FSA-12V 100W); Under load 11.81 V (FSA-12V 100W); Efficiency 84 % (100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply in metal case); No load 0.5 W (100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply in metal case); Protection 11.5 A (100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply in metal case).

100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply in metal case: A budget model with sensible cost-cutting, but with concerns about heat, the case, and low-frequency ripple.

FSA-12V 100W: It runs stably at about 60 W with acceptable ripple and temperature; the author considers it good if treated as a 60 W supply.
