NEW EVGA G1+ Power Supplies
What do you think about this? The fan in particular.
The article compares the G1+ 135mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan with the G1 135mm Dual Ball Bearing Fan, highlighting how fluid dynamic bearings lower wear and tear, cut noise, and offer a longer lifespan than dual ball bearing fans.
We have very little information about these power supplies at the moment. We don’t know the engineers, manufacturer, or platform. It’s hard to say much. Fluid dynamic bearing fans are quite appealing—they operate quietly and last a long time; double ball bearings also perform well but tend to be noisier. Many power supplies claim to use a fluid dynamic bearing fan, but they might actually be using a modified sleeve bearing fan, like one found in rifles or similar devices.

Many power supplies claim to use a fluid dynamic bearing fan, but they may not actually do so. In reality, the real physical bearings are costly because they’re patented by Matsuhita and require licensing for use. Ultimately, we often encounter dishonest claims: products advertising a fluid dynamic bearing fan might actually be using a modified sleeve bearing fan, like one found in a rifle or something even worse. Among all the so-called "FDB" power supplies, we can only be confident about the legitimacy of the bearings if they are taken apart and inspected, which reviewers usually don’t do. Unless we have complete knowledge of the model and specifications, we can’t be sure.**
Interesting perspective! I've noticed some discussions on forums about the SeaSonic PRIME series having a niche audience that might not be interested in heavy-duty mining applications. It's worth considering their claims about durable bearings, especially those with fluid dynamics designs. What are your thoughts?
