CONCLUSION
Three things are evident about the Seasonic Focus SPX-750 from today’s review, it’s high build quality (from interior components to the braided modular cables), solid rail stability and high noise levels. Both build quality and rail stability are things I’ve come to expect by a well-established company like Seasonic, noise levels however are not and so I can’t really figure out why they used such a high-speed fan (perhaps it’s the profile to blame and not so much the fan). As a matter of fact, the SPX-750 is probably the loudest power supply at full load to ever reach the lab (followed closely by the FSP Dagger Pro unit - although to be fair you’re not getting an 750W unit to max it out). Performance aside the fact that Seasonic makes the Focus SPX-750 available in both black and white colors is also a plus and will certainly be very popular among people with white cases and even hardware components.
With a current price tag set at around USD190 inside the USA and 160Euros inside the EU the Focus SPX-750 SFX power supply unit by Seasonic is priced just a tad higher compared to other similar models. Still Seasonic is second to none to build quality and performance so that shouldn’t really be an issue for most people. The high noise levels on the other hand just might and that’s pretty much the only drawback of this specific model. Overall, however I simply can’t ignore everything else and since it delivers on rail stability (rock solid in my book), build quality (all but excellent), electrical efficiency (80 Plus Platinum) and looks (white version) it clearly deserves the Golden Award.
