Deepcool Gamer Storm DQ750-M Power Supply review - Certification and efficiency

Energy efficiency certification

Deepcool markets the DQxxx-M series as their 80 Plus Gold power supplies. Certification is performed by an organization called (yes, you guessed it right) 80 PLUS. But what does this “on paper” mean? It’s a program that was introduced in 2004, and intended to promote efficient energy use in computer power supply units (PSUs). Only products that have more than 80% efficiency at 20, 50, and 100% load, and a power factor of 0.9 or more are eligible. This means that the PSU will waste 20% or less electric energy as heat, reducing power consumption and bills as compared with less efficient designs.

As you can see above, there are 80 Plus, Bronze, Silver, Gold (these three are from 2008), Platinum (2009), and Titanium (2012) certificates. Nowadays most computers with a single GPU don’t need more than a 600-650W PSU, as power consumption has dropped over the years. The PSU tested today is the most efficient at 50% load (375 W), but the differences above and under this value are not significant. You don’t need to keep it exactly at half load, but for better noise performance, longevity, etc.,  it’s better to stay below the maximum wattage. The reviewed sample is 80 PLUS GOLD certified - up to 87~90% efficiency (at 20~100% loads), and has active PFC with a power factor of up to 0.99. It consumes < 0.3W in its off-mode, complying with the ERP standard. If you want to check the Deepcool DQ750-M’s measurements taken by the 80 Plus organization, you can look at this and (in detail) this link.

Deepcool AK400 air cooler review
Today, we are reviewing an air cooler from Deepcool; it’s an AK400. The AK400 is from the same family as the AK620 (a dual-tower cooler). The previous product of this type (air cooler) covered was the AS500, tested back at the end of 2020. It was so good (it earned the “Approved” award) that it stayed as a part of the chassis test suite. This time around, it’s also a single tower design cooler, with a four heat pipe tower layout, a unique matrix fin design, and a high-performance FDB fan that should provide excellent heat dissipation and low noise levels.

Deepcool CK560 chassis review
This time, we’re checking out the Deepcool CK560, an airflow-oriented mid-sized ATX tower PC chassis. I had an almost instant deja-vu when I saw the first materials about it. Why’s that? It looks almost exactly the same as the other Deepcool (previously also named GamerStorm) product, I mean the CG560, which I had in my hands for a review. Well, the front panel looks a bit different, but that’s not a significant change. Let’s check the other things as well.
