OCZ Fatal1ty 750W PSU review

We review the OCZ Fatal1ty 750W PSU. The power supply became available market a little ago and it one of the more popular models from OCZ. It offers Bronze efficiency, a single 12V rail. The PSU itself is modular has good looks and something you can appreciate for those of you with a side panel window in their chassis. Being 750W and with all the aforementioned features the PSU is priced in a 75 EUR range here in the Netherlands. To top it off, OCZ even gives this PSU a 5 year carry in warranty.

Got this PSU for free many years ago, finally put it to use in my current system; very stable, and it's modular nature is great.

Hilbert, can I add one suggestion for future PSU reviews here on Guru3D?
You must add detailed stress-test of +12V rail/rails under full PSU load so that we could really see if tested PSU really can deliver that amount of power (Watts and Amps) on +12V rail/rails like manufacturer claims it can.
I know it's not that easy to do that on more powerfull PSU's and it's a bit (a lot) risky for PSU, motherboard, graphic card and other HW connected to that tested PSU if you stress-test PSU under full-load (or even more, beyond PSU's specs) for more than a few minutes because there is a real risk of damaging that PSU, MB or something else. But it can be accomplished with some specialized or custom build PSU full-stress-test equipment and then only risk is @ PSU side: sparks, smoke or even loud caps explosion (I know it's not nice to hear that) is maximum you can expect if you take that PSU to it's limit or beyond. But hey, even if that PSU dies they have sent you that PSU for test and s.h.i.t. happens.
I know this is maybe extreme way of testing PSU's but it's the only propper way of testing: most of us geeks realy don't care how much PSU draws from wall outlet in Power Off or Computer Idle mode because that is less (or none) important for high-performance PSU's. All we really care is how much stabile power, Wats and Amps, PSU can deliver on +12V rail/rails under full load or even beyond full load.
Look at this detailed test review of PSU I'm using right now in rig where I'm typing this and you'll know what I mean. That PSU (Recom 750W RC-PE750Plus) is certified for 750W max combined and 600W/50A max @ (single) +12V rail but guy who was testing that PSU managed to squezze even more than 810W combined max and 650W/54A on +12V under full stress test for about 20 minutes. Now that is what I call a real hard-core PSU test...
OK, maybe I ask too much, but real +12V rail/rails full-stress test is all you miss in your PSU reviews, there is no real need for extreme PSU testing like above on pcaxe.com...
cheers (and thanks for reading such a long post)

OCZ Warrenty
OCZ does not appear to be in business any longer; so their warranties may not be honored if and when the company is acquired by another.

Their PSU business has been bought by another company. No word as of yet what's being covered.

Last I heard the only thing being honored is their warranty on ssds the part that Toshiba bought.We will see if any of the other warranties will be honored as the sell off completes.

Toshiba iis only honoring warranties on select SSDs. The Vector, Revo and Vertex drives have their normal warranty. The Agility drives were only given warranty support until next Jan. The rest of the SSDs wont have warranty support.

Definately a GRRREAT PSU!!!
I bought this PSU for my first build ever about 2 1/2 years ago. Since then I have been able to incorporate it into all of my builds since then. My latest rig is a 2 way SLI set-up using 2 EVGA Nvidia GTX-970ssc ACX cards... I have to say that my 750watt OCZ Fatal1ty edition PSU powers my rig with no problems at all just as it has powered my previous 4 builds. So far I haven't had to upgrade in watts, but if I do I hope that my next PSU is as good and reliable as my OCZ! It's quiet and the modular design is spot on! Not only does it do the job, but it looks very cool while doing it! If you have an open case chassis, this PSU definitely sets it off while other PSUs look extremely boring and lame. With all of the rumors of OCZ not making PSUs anymore I am not sure if you can presently purchase this model... And thats ashame. Its the perfect price and has everything that you want and need in a PSU!
