Deepcool Gamer Storm DQ750-M Power Supply review

We have the new Deepcool Gamer Storm DQ750-M power supply on our test bench. It’s an upgraded version of their previous model, the DQ750 which actually was released 4 years ago. It has 80 plus Gold certification, which means that it’s 90% efficient at 50% load @ 110V, and even 92% efficient @ 230 V. It’s a modular PSU, in fact, a fully modular one (we are still puzzled there as we assume at the very least will be always using use the motherboard connectors anyway, right?). This is becoming a bit less important nowadays, with more chassis having a PSU shroud, but it’s still easier to manage the cables this way (and plug only the ones that are really needed). The update is visible at first glance, as the casing is now painted white, and not the usual black. Also, the fan used to cool the unit is now optimized for generating less noise. It’s not a semi-passive design, but should still provide a good acoustic experience. The 120 mm fan is fitted with FBD bearings and is controlled via a temperature sensor. The Gamer Storm DQ750-M is built with 100% Japanese 105℃ capacitors, and they're a great choice for high-performance PCs where reliability is essential.

 

 

There are also two other variants of the series, providing 650 and 850 W of power. They’re Gold Certified as well, meaning at least 90% efficiency at 50% load (92% at 230 V). This is important because the energy consumed doesn’t get lost in space (at least not in a significant amount). This, in turn, has an impact on your energy bill. The improved fan spins at about 600 rpm up to 20% of load, slowly increasing the rotational speed at 50%, and reaching ~1000 rpm at 75% and ~1500 rpm at full load.

Deepcool’s Gamer Storm DQ750-M is backed by a 5-year warranty. This is quite nice, but for example, Corsair offers 10 years for their higher-end series, whereas Seasonic provides even twelve years of warranty. Ok, let’s check the white (Gold) PSU from Deepcool, shall we?

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.

Deepcool PQ1000M (1000W PSU) review
Today we’re putting the new Deepcool PQ1000M power supply on our test bench. The company is rather known for making the chassis, coolers, or fans, but two power supplies were already covered on guru3d. The first one was the DQ750-M back in 2018, a 750 Watt unit with an 80 Plus Gold certificate that earned the “Recommended” award. The second one was the DQ850-M-V2L which was reviewed in 2020, bringing, for example, the 10-year warranty (instead of 5-years), but on the other side – it was rather noisy in low-mid load. Another two years have passed (coincidence?), and the next unit from Deepcool is in our hands, again with more wattage (it looks like a rule).
