The FSP Epsilon 700W, like its 600W sibling, is a quad-rail (+12V) PSU that supports SLI and CrossFire dual graphics setups via dual 6-pin PEG connectors, and has support for mainboards with EPS connectors (most commonly required for high-end consumer and workstation board, and servers). Split EATX connector is present and correct.

It appears to use an identical core to the 600W, so we presume it varies from that 600W version because the fan can exhaust more heat, giving the extra 100W of headroom.



In fact, so identical is it that we're being cheeky and showing you the exact same box shot, and pointing you three pages back to read about the 600W, if you want to know the on-paper and out-of-the-box details.
