Why you can trust Tom's Hardware
Performance Rating
Sky-high overall performance for the V750 Gold V2, which takes the lead from the competition.
Noise Rating
The graph below depicts the cooling fan's average noise over the PSU's operating range, with an ambient temperature between 30 to 32 degrees Celsius (86 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
The average noise output is low. Only the be quiet! offering performs better in this regard.
Efficiency Rating
The following graph shows this PSU's average efficiency throughout its operating range with an ambient temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius.
The average efficiency is notably higher than the rest of the Gold (in 80 PLUS) units we tested it against.
Power Factor Rating
The following graphs show the PSU's average power factor reading throughout its operating range, with an ambient temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius and 115V/230V voltage input.
The APFC converter's performance is not bad here, but it needs tuning for higher PF readings, mostly with 115V input.

helper800 A good Cooler Master branded PSU? Wow good on CM to find a good manufacturer. On a side-note what determines whether a product gets an editor's choice award from Toms? Aris seemed pretty happy with the PSU. Lets hope CM keeps using manufacturers that use modern PSU platforms.Reply -
