How is the FSP Hydro Ti Pro 1000W ATX 3.1 with native 12v-2x6 cable?

This PSU is marketed with a Titanium rating on Cybernetics and CLEAResult 80+ tests. But, when I checked these test results they are actually for the older 3.0 model which came out in 2022. Apparently the ATX 3.1 model has no test data on Cybernetics or CLEAResult databases separately.
What are the odds that ATX 3.1 model of this PSU doesn't perform as good as 3.0 ?

In short words if the psu is ATX 3.0, it's already ATX 3.1

I was looking to get a Corsair RM1000x 2024 originally but this PSU is on sale and I'm tempted to get it. When I checked for Corsair's ratings, it was retested when they introduced 3.1 native support. I'm only concerned why wasn't the FSP model retested.

RM1000x was ATX 3.1 at the beginning already. Aris and his crew doesnt have time currently to refresh every psu. Yesterday when i spoke with him they have over 45x samples to handle due manufacturers are pushing him saying when is my sample done.
As said every ATX 3.0 psu is ATX 3.1 but not every ATX 3.1 is ATX 3.0

Were you talking about reviews or the Cybenetics testing? I get that about the HWBusters reviews, but the Cybenetics certification is something else, entirely.
Here's the only Cybenetics report I can find on the 1000W FSP Hydro Ti Pro: https://www.cybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2101/
It's dated December 19th, 2022. ATX 3.1 did not exist at that time, so that model cannot have been ATX 3.1-conformant. ATX 3.1 was created mostly in response to issues people started having with the RTX 4090, which only launched around that time.

I have connections with Aris. I know what happens behind the doors, they are short staffed currently.
Also FSP Hydro Ti Pro 1000W has been discontinued before that. 850W ver was discontinued even before. There are no new ones being made. Only stock is left.
If they wouldn't have discontinued it chaning the PCB header would have been an easy job here. Most ATX 3.0 PSUs switched over to the 12V-2x6 PCB header when it came into the market. I do have contacts from PCIE-SIG members group so i know what is going on there.

I just bought one (new), directly from FSP (via Amazon). Their listing currently indicates ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1, as does the (outer) product packaging.
In the USA, the 850W models are gone, almost without a trace. I had wanted one of these, since 1kW is excessive for my needs, but there's no chance of getting one.
I know someone in Northern Europe who claims that they are still in stock at a store over there.
Eero73@reddit
They have a large stock everywhere currently.:)
Let me ask FSP about it as i have contacts there. I'm in Europe myself, shops have the stocks due no one isn't buying it. 😕
Mainly due price considering it's in the HXi price range usually.

If you want, but I already bought my 1 kW unit.
earmuffs_781@reddit
No, that's not how it works.

Every ATX 3.0 PSU meets ATX 3.1 requirements not otherwise as ATX 3.1 has looser requirements.
A lot of ATX 3.0 at the beginning were already /swapped/equiped with the 12v-2x6 PCB header. 😉
A850GL advertised 12v-2x6 PCB header but underneath was the 12vhpwr PCB header.

The difference is literally just the 12vhpwr cable, the newer version has slightly longer power pins and slightly shorter sensor pins so it can better detect when it isn't plugged in

Thanks, I see for other brands' PSUs like the Corsair they were retested after the refresh from 3.0 to 3.1.
