Chieftec PowerUp GPX-750FC

A moderately simple and high-quality computer power supply in the ATX 12V v2.53 format with an 80+ Gold quality certificate, an efficiency of around 90% and modular cables that can be disconnected when not needed. It is part of the PowerPlay line, which is one step below PowerUp power supplies in the Chieftec brand hierarchy. With a similar design to PowerUp, a simpler platform from CWT is used, there is no possibility of optimizing the operation of the cooling system, and instead of Japanese Nichicon and Nippon capacitors, Chinese ChengX products are installed.

According to the manufacturer, such a power supply is an excellent option for powering gaming systems equipped with video cards with a TDP of up to 400 W. It is fully compliant with the ATX standard and can be easily installed in any Midi Tower case. The design of the power supply case is interesting due to the use of an unusually shaped grille, painted white. In terms of technical characteristics, the unit is equipped with an active power factor corrector with a wide voltage range (from 100 to 240 V), a synchronous rectifier for the +12VDC channel and independent pulse converters for the +3.3VDC and +5VDC lines. The +12VDC bus capacity is 846 W, which makes this power supply suitable for powerful systems with one or two video cards. For the main +12VDC bus, a peak value of 846 W is declared, that is, almost 100% of the total power of the unit.
