OCZ Fatal1ty 750W

Zitat: If you´re into the whole Fatal1ty-branded merchandise, or like me you just prefer the red LED lighting, this OCZ 750W power supply will make a great looking addition to your system. The flat black painted chassis, wire chrome grill and low-profile modular cabling are aesthetically pleasing, and the nylon bag keeps your unused cables stored neatly. The new cable design is almost, but not quite, as good as Ultra´s now-defunct FlexForce style cabling, and much cleaner looking than mesh-wrapped cables in my opinion. However OCZ elected to use the traditional wrap on the main ATX and EPS sections. The Fatal1ty 750W presented no problems when it came to performance. Used in a typical modern, single-GPU gaming system, the 750W provides ample power with room to spare. Idle and load handling is decent, maybe not as rock-solid as some power supplies we´ve tested, but output fluctuations were acceptable and certainly within specification. If the 750W is to be used in a dual-GPU system it would probably be advisable to limit your graphic card selection to 200W models or less. Something along the lines of SLI nVidia GTX 460/260 or CrossFireX ATI Radeon HD 5850/4870 is about the most I´d feel comfortable throwing at it. The certifications for the power supply have yet to hit the nVidia SLI or 80Plus organization websites, but this is typical as these organizations take their sweet time updating their pages. The 80Plus Bronze rating does guarantee 85% efficiency at 50% load, which is typically where you want to size the power supply for your system. However with the recent interest in promoting "Green" power, there have been more and more Silver certified units become available lately. Several other brand-name power supplies in the same 700W to 800W power range, and $120 to $140 neighborhood carry Silver certification. Unfortunately OCZ is not one of them. The OCZ Fatal1ty 750W can be found online in the $110 to $130 price range, which places it at the upper end of the comparison scale for its power and efficiency ratings.

Zitat: Visually, the OCZ Fatal1ty 750 watt power supply meets all the needs of someone looking for a gorgeous unit. The power supply is aimed at the gamer and enthusiast but we definitely have to throw in the modder as well. When trying to color coordinate the inside of your PC you can’t go wrong with this power supply. Reasons being is many of today’s PC cases have a black interior now and to go alone with that many of today’s motherboards are also black. All three in the mix is ideal. Good looks are one thing but performance, efficiency and stability is another. This is the one reason we purchase a given power supply. Efficiency ratings are what we are looking for on the package of any power supply. And if you come across the box for this power supply you will see the huge 80Plus Bronze rating. We found in our simple test that the Fatal1ty offering from OCZ did pretty well. We a small drop in the 12 volt rail is all we saw but it was well within specs. Making it is a good buy. Another feature that we looked in the Fatal1ty power supply was the lack of noise that normally comes for the fan. During the testing phase we ran the power supply with a passive cooled GPU just to see how quiet the unit was. We are happy to report that OCZ offering is one of the quietest power supplies that we have tested in a long time. Making it ideal for quiet PC builds.

Zitat: OCZ Fatal1ty 750 W is a nice option if you want to buy a decent 750 W power supply with modular cabling system at an affordable price. It competes directly with 750 W models from Seventeam like ST-750ZAF (with modular cabling system) and ST-750PAF (without modular cabling system) and it has as advantages lower ripple/noise level, higher efficiency and better voltage regulation. In summary, OCZ Fatal1ty 750 W is probably the power supply on this power range with the best cost/benefit ratio on the market today. If you want to save even more, research carefully before buying it, because at this moment prices are varying quite a bit, from USD 105 to USD 129. If you are able to buy it for USD 105 you will be doing an outstanding deal, but even at USD 129 is not a bad buy at all.
