OCZ Fatal1ty 750W Power Supply Review

The FTY750W Inside

Opening up the PSU we find a 13.5cm thermally controlled Globe Fan. This is a DC12v model with 0.45A rating and is branded RL4R B1352512HH. This fan has a max RPM of approximately 1600RPM.

Inside the Fatal1ty 750w we have a black PCB which is reasonably well packed with components including two notable heatsinks. Where required components are given extra stability by white adhesive and wiring is tied in place where appropriate. Soldering is also a decent quality and while the adhesive could be more tidily applied in areas the overall unit is well put together.

As is common in modern PSUs this range also has several features which combine to protect the PC components in the event of a fault developing. First up is Over Voltage Protection which ensures that the 12, 5 and 3.3v outputs do not exceed a set level. Over power protection ensures the unit stays within safe limits and short-circuit protection is also present which powers off the PSU should any of the 3.3v, 5v or 12v rails short any other rail or ground. Over temperature and over current circuitry are also included to ensure a thorough suite of protection.

In terms of key features we have a unit which has one +12v rail rated for 62.5A and OCZ mix this with an 80 Plus Bronze certified spec which means it has passed certification of 81% efficiency at 20% and 100% load with 50% load rated at over 85% (240V).

This PSU also uses quality branded components throughout including the Nippon branded 400v-470µF capacitor rated for 105°C. The other parts are all 105°C rated, even if they are not Japanese manufactured units (primarily Su’scon).
