The DeepCool PL750D power supply unit, with a 750W output, provides a reliable foundation for powering today's gaming and professional builds. Its design fully complies with the ATX 3.1 standard, allowing it to effectively handle the high energy demands and sudden power spikes of modern components. This PSU delivers stable and efficient power with 80 PLUS Bronze certification, which confirms its high efficiency and reduces running costs. The non-modular design with fixed cables, including a native 12V-2x6 connector, simplifies installation and helps maintain a tidy setup inside the case.
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter besides the form factor is its power output. This indicates the maximum number of watts the PSU can continuously supply to the components in the computer. It is advisable to use an online calculator to work out the optimal power output based on your chosen components.
Compliance with the ATX 3.1 standard ensures support for short-term power spikes of up to twice the rated power for 0.1ms. This resilience is crucial for the smooth and stable operation of builds with powerful graphics cards. The 80 PLUS Bronze certification confirms the PSU's 85% efficiency at 50% load. This means that most of the electrical energy is converted into usable power for the components, with only a small amount lost as waste heat. As a result, the PSU operates more economically and with lower running costs. The lower heat loss also contributes to quieter operation and a longer lifespan for the internal components.
The power supply is equipped with a modern interface to power high-consumption graphics cards. Its fixed cabling includes one native 12V-2x6 (16-pin) connector, which enables a direct connection without needing adapters. This solution simplifies cable management, improves airflow within the case, and increases the overall reliability of the power supply to the graphics accelerator.
The safety of connected components is supported by a suite of eight protection mechanisms. These include over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and overload protection. Furthermore, a set of eight industrial-grade safety protections shields the build against short circuits, overheating, inrush current, and no-load operation. A 120mm fan takes care of efficiently dissipating heat from the internal components, with its speed adjusting to the current load. The fan's fluid dynamic bearing reduces noise and friction, significantly extending its operational lifespan compared to standard sleeve bearings. This cooling technology maintains optimal operating temperatures for the components even at high performance, while keeping noise levels low.
The internal layout of the power supply uses a proven topology with Active Power Factor Correction (Active PFC) and DC-to-DC converters. Active PFC improves efficiency and stability when drawing current from the mains. The subsequent combination of technologies maintains precise and stable voltage on all output rails, especially on the crucial +12V rail. Additionally, the DC-to-DC conversion supports stability even under uneven loads, which is fundamental for the reliable operation of sensitive components.
The power supply offers a fixed set of cables to power all common components. In addition to the 12V-2x6 connector, there are three 8-pin PCI-E connectors, two 8-pin CPU connectors, eight SATA connectors, and two Molex connectors for older peripherals. Furthermore, the hold-up time exceeds 16 milliseconds, meaning the PSU can continue to power the system during brief power outages or voltage drops, thus protecting the system from sudden shutdowns.
The 80 Plus certification was created to objectively evaluate the efficiency of computer power supplies. This provides users with a simple and clear way to compare different models. On the European market (where 230V is used), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification, each with set requirements for computer power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower energy consumption.
