CONCLUSION

   The Core Reactor power supplies by XPG may already count 2 years in the market but they offer very good rail stability, something that I’ve come to expect by CWT and their units. On top of that add the number of available protections, 80 Plus Gold efficiency certification, compact size and the 10-year limited warranty and the Core Reactor series deliver on pretty much everything gamers and PC users in general are looking for. Yes, output may be somewhat limited (850W is the highest variant) compared to many other power supply lines out there but 750-850W are clearly more than enough for the vast majority. Noise levels are relatively ok, not good or great cause the Hong Hua fan did almost hit 48dBA at load but overall, CWT has used a rather relaxed setting (always compared to other similar models).

   Currently retailing for USD132.50 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 118.48Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Core Reactor 750W by XPG is priced just about right, always for what it offers. At the end of the day the Core Reactor 750W power supply unit by XPG may not sit at the top of the market but it does hit/deliver a very good price/performance ratio and for that it gets the Golden Award.
