Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Silver Award

This is a great 750 W power supply for users willing to install up to four high-end video cards on their systems. What is really great about this power supply is the fact that all its video card power connectors can be transformed into 8-pin ones, so you won’t need to upgrade your power supply in the future if the 8-pin connector becomes standard. Or you can use this power supply to connect two Radeon HD 2900 XT in parallel, as each one of them requires two power cables, one with six pins and another with eight pins. It also has eight SATA power connectors and eight peripheral power connectors, more than enough for even the übergeek with two or more DVD burners and a big RAID array and extra hard drives – even though we think we could see a better distribution of the connectors, i.e. three cables with three connectors each instead of two cables with four connectors each.

This unit also has all the basic stuff everyone is looking for nowadays: high efficiency, active PFC, excellent cooling solution, enough power to feed high-end video cards, five-year warranty and the best of all: it can really deliver its rated 750 W at 50º C. Not only that. During our tests we could pull up to 900 W at 45º C. So you will be basically buying a 900 W power supply paying the price of a 750 W one. What is sweeter than that?

The only thing we didn’t like about it is its electrical noise level. Even though noise level was within ATX specs we expected that this unit would produce a lower noise level. This “problem” should not worry Average Joe, but if you are an extreme enthusiast looking for a flawless power supply you should look for another 750 W model with lower electric noise level.

Don’t get us wrong, this power supply is a terrific product and we do recommend it, all we want to say is that it isn’t flawless. And that is why we are giving it our “Silver Award” instead of “Golden”.
