INTRODUCTION

   Power supply units may not have advanced technologically as much as some other PC hardware components over the years but things have changed a lot compared to when i was growing up. For example i remember stopping by the largest PC hardware distributor where i live back in the late 90's to pick up a newly released model and although back then the 8 different units available by a total of 3 manufacturers seemed like a lot to me today there are at least twenty times as many available from a very large number of manufacturers. Of course because of the vast number of available features and output capacities today having a large number of available models means that every single consumer out there is covered and that's never a bad thing. Thermaltake recently released their Smart DPS G line of power supply units which allows the end user to monitor their current status and also gives access the current and overall power consumption levels via a computer and/or android/iOS compatible handheld devices. Well after testing the quite good 700W model today with us we have the 750W variant.

   The beginning of every myth and legend is about dreams and desire: the challenging, creative and combative features of Thermaltake Group create an exciting and fascinating user experience to share with everyone, while allowing users to enter a selfless state in terms of function and potential. Thermaltake Group's 3 main brands: Thermaltake, Tt eSPORTS and LUXA2 have been merchandising throughout the world, and have successfully established 6 business footholds in areas such as Europe, America, Oceania, Japan and China, with 95 regional distributors and over 4000 premium retailers. All product planning is orientated by observation of global PC peripheral market and understanding of consumer demands. Thermaltake creates direct contact opportunities with resellers and consumers by participating major global ICT exhibitions and trade shows every year, and develop innovative marketing strategies for the promotions of new products. Meanwhile, Thermaltake incorporates the composite marketing system by making branch offices and regional distributors both the distribution channel and technical support or service center to provide instant support; by maintaining close contact with end users, we manage to strengthen corporate competitiveness and create the momentum for the growth of accomplishments. With its outstanding wisdom and strength Thermaltake Group is recruiting creative talents to build a cultural brand for the enjoyment of entertainment, e-Sports, technology and lifestyle!

     The Smart DPS G 750W power supply unit has a peak output of 900W, sports an 80 Plus Gold certification (the 700W model which we reviewed earlier was 80 Plus Bronze certified) and features a 32Bit microcontroller unit, single high-current +12V rail rated at 62A (can deliver up to 744W), silent 140mm dual ball bearing fan, semi-modular design, flat modular cables, short circuit protection (SCP), over power protection (OPP), over-temperature protection (OTP), abnormal voltage level protection, high quality main Japanese capacitors and Active PFC. However just like the Smart DPS G 700W the strong selling point of the 750W model is obviously Thermaltake’s Smart Power Management system (SPM) and although once again some people may not consider this as something really important it can actually come very handy if not as a means to reduce your electrical bills then certainly as a way to monitor the status of the majority of your systems hardware components. So let's take a closer look and see just how much better (or not) the 750W 80 Plus Gold model is compared to the 700W 80 Plus Bronze one.
