Foxin FPS 800 SMPS Review – Not a 800 Watt PSU
Foxin FPS 800 SMPS is a computer power supply that is getting much attention because of its lower price and claimed higher wattage. I have already reviewed Foxin 450W and 500W SMPS previously in this blog and told you about their quality, specs and performance but here I am going to review the Foxin FPS 800 SMPS and tell you whether you should buy this SMPS or not.
Foxin is an Indian brand that sells computer peripherals and accessories. Their products are cheap because they are all made in China and there is always a question mark on the quality. I have stated many times in this blog that you should be very careful in choosing a SMPS for your PC because it is one of the most important components of your desktop computer. You can read the important articles regarding SMPS below.

Here in this post I am going to tell you all about the Foxin FPS 800 SMPS and also going to find out whether it is really a 800 Watt SMPS or not.
Foxin FPS 800 SMPS Review & Specifications
Here is the complete review of Foxin FPS 800 SMPS and its technical specifications.
Build Quality
The build quality of the SMPS is average and not that great when comparing it to the likes of Corsair and Cooler Master power supplies. The SMPS comes in all black color with a red color fan on top of it. The wires are relatively on the thinner side and you have to take care of them when handling the SMPS.
Fan, Cables & Connectors
Foxin FPS 800PSU comes with a 120mm Fan which runs quite silent even at heavy load. The speed of the fan is about 2200 / 2500 RPM. The power supply comes with required number of cables and connectors including the PCI-e (6+2) pin connector for graphics card.
| Connector Name | Quantity & Pin Type |
| Motherboard connector | 20+4 Pin x 1 |
| ATX / CPU connector | (4+4) x 1 |
| SATA connector | x 4 |
| 4-pin Peripheral / Molex connector | x 4 |
| PCI-e connector | (6+2) x 1 |
Current on 12V Rail
Now we come to the most important part which is the amount of current present on the 12V Rail. Foxin FPS 800 SMPS has dual 12V rails and has total of 45A (22A + 23A) current. The amount of current present on the 12V rail is most important because this 12V rail is responsible for providing current or power to all the major components in your PC that includes processor, motherboard, hard disk, graphics card, fans etc. For an 800 Watt SMPS 45A current on 12V rail is very less and it is in the range of a 550W to 600W SMPS. This is because the entry series 550W and 650W SMPS from Corsair has 42A and 50A current on its 12V rail. So in my opinion Foxin FPS 800 SMPS is more of a 500W to 600W SMPS and it is definitely not an 800W SMPS.
Below are the voltage / current tables for Foxin FPS 800, Corsair VS550 and Corsair VS650 SMPS.
|
Foxin FPS 800 SMPS |
||||||
| DC Voltage | +5V | +3.3V | +12V1 | +12V2 | -12V | +5VSB |
| Current | 31A | 27A | 22A | 23A | 0.5A | 2A |
Features & Protection
Foxin FPS 800 SMPS comes with various features that include Active PFC, Multiple Protection System, Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Fuse, Resettable Power Shutdown and 100% Burn-in Under High Ambient Temperature.
Price & Warranty
Foxin FPS 800 SMPS is priced at around Rs. 1200/- and comes with 2 years warranty.
Final Verdict & Conclusion
Foxin FPS 800 SMPS is certainly can’t be used as 800W SMPS. It can be used as a 500W – 550W SMPS only. The quality of this SMPS is average but its low price can make it worth buying if you are low on budget. So if you don’t have money to buy a branded 500W – 600W SMPS from Cooler Master, Corsair, Antec then you may use this SMPS as an alternative for your PC. This SMPS is only for users on really tight budget. You can buy Foxin FPS 800 SMPS from the link given below.

gigabyte h81 m gaming 3 motherboard
intel 3240 3.10 ghz processor
4 gb ddr3 1600 mhz ram
320 gb hdd seagate
asus dvd writer
can i use VIP 400R Plus Super Silent Power Supply
You can if you are not planning to add a graphics card or another hard disk. You can get this SMPS here http://amzn.to/2feitoF
i have asus strix 970 running on asus z97 sabertooth mk2 with i7 4770
recently my smps got burned and due to a tight budget I bought this smps.. is it ideal to run such a spec on this smps?
Frankly I don’t recommend it.
I bought this psu from Amazon. Tested it, and it failed me… It stopped working after arround 13 hours contineous running. I kept the pc on overnight with nothing heavy running on it, the day I ran a FutireMark benchmark, the benchmark played for around a minute and the psu gave up… Maybe it was a defective peice? The second 12v rail didn’t share the load with the first one as it should have? Anyways, I returned it. I am on a really tight budget, so is there anything around the same price range that can handle my build? Here are my specs:
– Gigabyte f2a55m motherboard
– MSI GTX 460 Cyclone OC gpu
– 4 gb DDR3 ram
– AMD A4-4000 3.0 Ghz APU
– 160 + 160 + 500 GB HDDs
– 80mm fan
How about this one? – http://www.amazon.in/Frontech-JIL-2423-600W-PSU-Connector/dp/B01AD2TBBI
The discription on Amazon says it does not have a 6-pins PCI connection, but that’s incorrect.
Help me quick!
Thanks in advance!
Hello Aditya,
Frontech is also as bad as Foxin. I understand you are on tight budget but still i strongly suggest to get Corsair VS450. You can get it here http://amzn.to/2hvfdFT
I read your article about VIP psu. Which one is better, VIP 500w GOLD or Corsair VS450?
Both are good but here go for Corsair VS450
Ok, thanks
Hey bro,Can I use a R9 270 with a Foxin FPS800(Using miles to 6pin)
Never.. You need a better SMPS for this.
But why..it has 45Amps on the 12V rail..and it’s handles the GTX 560Ti fine even at full load??
Because i don’t trust it in the long run. If it it works for you then fine.
OK ,thanks for your help ☺☺
can i use Foxin FPS 800 SMPS to run a rx 470?
No i won’t recommend it. Get atleast Corsair VS450.
What about Artis VIP 500W gold..can it handle a R9 270??
Yes it will handle it comfortably.
Alright then thanks..

Sir;,long day back meeting you.,can you tell me some monitors brand only 1600*900 resolution greater than 20 inch(50cm,).I don’t want 1080p .I have googled most of the monitors greater 20 inch are 1920*1080).I would like to prefer Samsung,if any 900p.thanks
Very difficult to find 900p because all are 1080p nowadays. You should look for Samsung B2030 if you can find it.
Go for LG 20mp48hb(wide) or 20mp48ab
I suggest LG 20mp48hb(wide)

Hi Sir
can I use this foxin fps 800 for xfx HD 5670 1gb ddr5
pro- amd phenom ii x4 955
yes you can
Between this and the frontech 800, which one do you think is better?
I would Foxin is a bit better if we look at the current on the 12V rail
Circle 400 Watt CPH698 V12 SMPS is good smps for xfx HD 5670 1gb ddr5?? thank u in advance
it is ok
I have used foxin-fps-800 since 6 month. But now it’s started a noise as grilling sound at the start up time about 30 minutes. So I think it’s not a good product
Please advice me if there any way to fix the issue
No fix except to change the smps
Is this smps have long Motherboard connector for my full size atx cabinet(BBC 8801)
I was buy forntech jil 2423 but it have short cabils
It has all the required connectors.
Is it as much long cabils for full ATX cabinet?
They are adequate
I am facing problems for short cabils
Friend I currently have an intex smps with 18v current on +12 v I also have a gtx 1050 ti which I have used in that psu but sometimes my pc switches off while using. Though it works fine I have taken my graphics card out and I m using it with intel hd until my new psu comes I found your blog and was wondered if this peice works with me or not.
Though foxin a shitty brand but the specs and recommend power requirements for gtx 1050 ti has a way broad space in between, even if the smps won’t be able to deliver the power as printed on the paper will give its atleast 60-65% imo which would be enough for my specs
Pentium G2020 2.9 gigahertz.
4 Gb ddr3 single channel.
Zotac gtx 1050 ti.
Need a. New psu
1050 ti is not that much power hungry card like rx 470 and I have also seen many people on youtube running in those crazy dell stock 250-300w smps which I think would work for me too, so please give me a positive reply I m gonna be only playing cs go and gta 5 and a few older titles not that latest aaa games.
Regards.
Prajjval.
GTX 1050 Ti does require 75 Watts of power and on load or gaming it can go higher too. I strongly advise you to get rid of that Intex SMPS and get Corsair VS450 or VS350 depending on your budget.
I know that intex smps sucks but you didn’t understood what I want to say is the foxin fps 800 might be ok for gtx 1050 if you won’t be upgrading to a more power hungry card in my opinion
I doubt the quality of foxin smps even it has sufficient current on 12V rail. So it is better to invest in a good smsp for once.
Sorry bro but I’ve already ordered foxin ,all I can do is try . Yes I know that the quality is shit but as you know card manufacturers always recommend a higher recommend specs to run a card so if in some unfortunate case no one can blame them. And yes these cheap psu manufacturers print wrong details its 45 amps even if it falls to 40% down then the remaining amps we have left from 45 is 27 the recommended amperage for gtx 1050 ti .
P.s I m not saying that you are wrong but seriously I also don’t trust these cheap chinese builds, only going for coz of really tight budget. *Also you have told others that their gtx 1050 will run fine with this see above at the comments*
Sir I have a gtx 730 with 1.5tb hard drive and Intel dh57dd motherboard is it good to buy it foxin
for gt 730 it would be ok.
hi Akshat is the Foxin 800 is the real 800W SMPS?
In my opinion it is not.
I have been using foxin smps 800 since the last one year with nvdia graphics card. The machine is working fine with no performance issue.
Sir,I am in a problem.when I turn on my PC
it keeps boot and rebooting itself.It occurred sometime not every time.when It successfully boots no problem I can work 5-6 hrs or in a full load up to 5hrs flawlessly.sometime it behaves as I told you..
Can u guess what is the culprit (mobo,smps,ram)behind it.I recently check my ram and graphics card in another machine which are OK. Or Should I order ANTEC 650w PSU.
It could be due to RAM or SMPS. What RAM and SMPS are you using?
Ram is starlight 16gb Brand new.I have checked my ram in multiple machines,results OK
Smps is foxing 800. I am going to buy ANTEC 650w.before I want to be sure what’s the actual faulty hardware in my machine.
Can you please list your complete PC configuration?
When my PC boot successfully then no problem arises
.out of 5 boots 4 successfull 1 goes boot reboot.I mean PC power goes on and off repeatedly then after 3 min it starts normally.
Smps-foxin 800,Ram-starlight 16gb@1600mhz,Mobo-gigabyte-h81,cpu-i5 4440(3.1-3.3ghz) graphics card-zotac gtx750ti.monitor-Lg 20inch 900p.
Well hard to predict the problem from here but i strongly advise you to get a better SMPS. I would say Corsair VS450 or VS550 should be enough for your PC.
I aim at ANTEC 650w .which one is best? ANTEC 650w vs corsair 650w.
Antec might be a little better but will cost you more.
Thank you sir.
Sir, today I removed CPU heatsink and removed old thermal paste because it was very old so I reapply new thermal paste and run CPU stressing. Under 100% load temp was 63 degree now it is 70 degree.Should I wait some days before CPU testing? What’s your call? CPU i5 4440.
I think 63 degrees is pretty normal for 100% CPU usage on stock cooler.
Can you suggest me a good aftermarket CPU cooler for LGA 1150 socket?
I suggest Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED.
No, it is now 70degree,before with old thermal paste it was 63.I don’t know what’s wrong have I done!!!?
Which thermal paste are you using and have to fit the heatsink properly and tight?
Artic silver .yes fitted adequately .
OK..Artic silver do require few days of curing time so wait until then.
Sir ,my friend got a problem.Her mother board is h81 s2p has two USB 3.0 port at rear site that’s working but case has only 1 USB 3.0 and two USB 2
.0 port at front site but front 3.0
port not responding/working only USB 2.0 works at front.Is problem related with case or mobo or wiring problem in the case?? Her mobo is gigabyte h81 clearly declared it has two USB 3.0 with picture!
Which case is she using is there a USB 3.0 connector available for USB 3.0 headers on the motherboard?
Foxin 4 years old..She has decided to get ANTEC df 500 rgb which has two USB 3.0 no 2.0 ,at front .Will this USB 3.0 work with gigabyte h81 mobo? (She donot wish to change mobo because it is in under warranty period just used 2 years)Though,mobo has two USB 3.0 at rear site.I have little knowledge on PC hardware,I can’t fix her problem. Please , help me out.
First of all make sure that the USB 3.0 cable of the case is connected properly to the USB 3.0 header on the motherboard and then check if the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Drivers are installed. If possible send me the pic of the connection of cable connected to the USB 3.0 header.
Is ANTEC df 500 rgb good or bad??
It is a good case.
Sir ,today I watched her mobo there is no USB 3.0 header only 2.0 how ever, she managed to get a aftermarket USB 3.0 header to connect with mobo as cabinet has only two I/o 3.0 port at front site.
Her budget is 14k.she is gonna change some crucial hardware .
PSU-Antec 650w modular
CABINET-Antec df 500 rgb
CPU COOLER- cooler master hyper 212 led(As your previous advise, I also ordered for myself)
So,I wanna request you, can you change something for the best within budget limit(14 k). Or should she remain intact?? Thank you sir
I think she should not change as there is no need too. All the specs are good.
No no you got me wrong sir.Her current system hardware is cabinet cheap foxin brand.psu super low quality zebronics or something like that 12v only 22 amps and Intel stock cooler. Only she is gonna change as I described previously (budget 14k ).
She is gonna change foxin to ANTEC df 500rgb cabinet/
PSU zebronics to ANTEC 650w modular /
And Intel stock cooler to cooler master hyper 212 red.
I previously asked you can you modify the former hardware for super best components ( budget 14k).she owned already i5 4gen and gtx 1060( ordered recently) but mobo h81 .
I also meant the same thing that the upgrade looks OK to me. Also i have never seen a girl with such hefty PC upgrade or configuration.
ANTEC df 500 rgb have 3 120 fan at front but someone told me it has no adequate airflow due to its design.
Last question can you advise me a good aftermarket USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 header so to attach with h81 mobo?
Cases with front tempered glass panel do face some airflow issues but it is decent case and nothing to worry about and what do you mean by USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 header ?
Sorry,I supposed to mean USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 adapter.what do you recommend?? Will it work h81 mobo?
There is no such adapter for this.
What about this one?
I am not lying
.she really needs to get a stronger PC especially editing and rendering purposes and asked me so I reflect you.
Not sure that these connectors will work or not.
Sir, will cooler master hyper 212 led fit ANTEC df 500rgb?I am in confusion because some reviews say that max CPU cooler for this case is≤165mm and some says it is155mm .which one is correct,?? Will this aftermarket cooler fit on this cabinet or not?
It is 155m and i think hyper 212 LED will be a tight fit. To be on safer side go for Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 instead.http://www.deepcool.com/product/cpucooler/2013-12/7_487.shtml
You are a life saver.what about the performance ,I mean temp reduction?
It has same design and performance as of cooler master hyper 212 LED with four copper heat pipes and 120mm fan. However, it is a bit lower in height which makes it easy to fit in most of the cases.
I have gt 730, 8 gb DDR3 ram, gaming mouse and keyboard, i3 4130 and this psu. I wanted to upgrade my gpu to gtx 1050 ti so should I upgrade the psu too?
You should be fine with this PSU with GTX 1050 Ti also.
Sir I Just Want To Run Only GTx 780Ti.is It A Good PSU For Only Using For A GPU
I did not get your question.
I’ve A Laptop and Exp GDC So Only Need a Psu For A Graphics Card So Just Want To Give Power To My GPU Will It Work With GTX 780ti?
GTX 780 to Requires 600w Psu And +12v -42amp Rail
Yes it requires a 600W PSU but can work on a good 550W PSU too.
Sir,Today I have bought zotac gtx1660ti 6gb gddr6 ,but it doesn’t have a backplate.Is it possible to get a aftermarket/custom backplate for my GPU?If so kindly give me the link.Thanks
Why do you want a backplate. It is not necessary for the card you have bought.
I think it prevents to build up dust on PCB or cool down my GPU vram to ensure gpu longevity.without it my GPU looks ugly .I am littlebit confused. Can u explain pros and cons of a gpu backplate. Thanking ur anticipation.
The main function of the backplate is to give rigidity and support to longer & bigger graphics cards as it prevents the PCB from bending. It is also used for aesthetics reasons and rarely for cooling purpose.
Sir,my zotac gtx1660ti gives me good performance,but I have a thermal issue.When playing some games like wolfenstein young blood,Ghost recon breakpoint etc under ultra settings 1080p, having 120+ fps it reaches 78-79 deg c.should I worry about it or repaste the thermal paste? though my gpu is 1 month old.
Not a sign of worry as such but it is a little on the higher side. What is your room/ambient temperature?
Room temp is 28-29 deg c
Ok…You can try repaste the thermal paste if you know how to do it properly, and I suggest using Arctic MX-4 thermal paste.
Done but no luck same temp,I turned vsync on capped @60 fps with ultra to high settings now gpu temp drops from 79 to 68.
Does your case has good airflow with front intake fans and one exhaust fan?
My case is antec df 500 rgb with three intake (front) and one exhaust (rear).I have just ordered 3 fans cooler master sickle flow x .I will use them as top exhaust fan.so basically 3 intake 4 exhaust,Is it good idea?or 4 intake 3 exhaust??
Use 3 intake fans at front and one exhaust at the rear.

Foxin 800 PSU (On this page)
I want to upgrade my Graphic card to GTX 1650 Super.
Wanted to know your thoughts on this.
Do Reply.
Thanks
Well, for gaming it is a worthy upgrade but for work, I don’t see many benefits.
Actually I wanted to know if the PSU foxin 800 can handle all these components at the same time?
Yes, it can handle them.
