Over Power Protection and Max Wattage
Power supplies often quote as having various protection mechanisms such and the most important of these is Over Power Protection. In our testing we crank up the power draw until the power supply either shuts down (meaning the OPP mechanism is present and working) or blows up (meaning it is either not present or not working). We then note the maximum power consumption before the power supply shut down (or blew up).
The C750 is rated for 750W, but we managed to push it to almost 900W before the OPP kicked in and stopped the party. While it’s unlikely you’ll need to push it this far, it’s good to know it’ll handle some big power spikes without shutting down your rig.
