OCZ 750W Fatal1ty Series PSU Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅17-09-10
Conclusion

Remember, the PSU is the backbone of any system. Opting for a cheap brand with little to no standing within the industry may land you in bother. Particularly if the unit happens to blow - taking out all of your precious components. Always invest in quality units - known and reliable brands.

The Fatal1ty range may not suit everyone's taste with its austere gaming characteristics but from the evaluation, the 750W PSU under review today has been an impressive counter-part to the Jonathan Wendel endorsed product line.

The modular cables that come accompanied for use with the PSU are a very nice touch, unlike traditional cabling there are no nylon nets but instead a low-profile rubber insulation making it even easier to group cables together and get the insides looking tidy.



During the severe MSI Kombustor and OCCT stress tests the unit showed no signs of weakness. In these tests we simulated a real-world gaming scenario where 1 GPU and indeed the system is involved in severe usage, and again with 2 GPUs configured in Crossfire we simulated the environment some gamers may indulge in and in both instances the Fatal1ty 750W was triumphant. The system used in testing achieved 330W overall watts with 1 GPU and 537 watts with 2 GPUs.

For this side of £100 ($141/€107) you will be hard pushed to find a PSU rated at around 750W with the rated specifications the Fatal1ty 750W comes with. Corsair, Antec and Zalman equivalents are generally the other side of £100 in most cases. So I believe this unit is a worthwhile investment.

Pros
+ Reliable performance
+ Very useful modular cables
+ Good price

Cons
- LED lit PSUs aren't for everyone


Due to performance, price and included features this PSU receives the Gold and Amazing Value award.
