Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold Power Supply Review

How Much Does it Cost?

Although pending specific confirmation from retailers, Cooler Master has informed us that the SFX 750 Gold will retail for a price in the region of £129.99. While this might seem initially as quite an expensive price for a power supply, it does bear noting, very specifically, that this packs a remarkably number of features, more akin to full-sized power supplies, in a very small package.

Put simply, if you think it’s expensive, I promise you that Cooler Master has spent that money on what is clearly a difficult, but effective design.

Performance

As this is a small factor power supply, there will always be some limitations if you directly compare it to standard full-sized (standard) models. Put simply, there’s only so much performance you can cram in a space as small as this. Despite that fact, however, Cooler Master has still done a really remarkably job here. Not only did this pretty much easily handle all of the tests we threw at it, but in many instances, it did remarkably better than it had any expectation to.

The clear highlights come in the fact that this nearly achieves a platinum efficiency level, and providing some of the lowest ripple results we have seen from a small factor design, Cooler Master has packed a lot of punch in this small package!

Practicality & Functionality

Although this is primarily a SFX power supply, thanks to the included bracket this is also entirely 100% suitable and compatible with ATX chassis designs. As such, this power supply definitely has a wide range of applications that should make it highly desirable for many users. With it’s sleek design and excellent cable configuration as well, the only minor downside is their length which isn’t overly generous. That being said though, we believe that would only provide an issue if you were to attempt to install this in a full-sized chassis. And why would you do that?…

Should I Buy One?

The Cooler Master SFX Gold has certainly been designed to work best with specific configurations and most notably small-factor PC designs. With that being said, however, this power supply is remarkably much more substantial in terms of its performance potential than it’s small stature would suggest. Coming with 750 watts of power and a Gold-Efficiency rating, this ticks all of the right boxes and, quite frankly, if you’re in the market for a PSU for your new or next compact PC build, this would undoubtedly make a truly excellent choice!
