CONCLUSION

   With most manufacturers focused in releasing 80 Plus Platinum and Titanium certified PSUs i was quite pleased to see that Thermaltake is still catering to the needs of most consumers by releasing lower-cost yet high-performance Gold certified models like the TPG-0750M. Performance is really not the only thing that reveals just how special the TPG-0750M is since it really takes just a second to notice the 100% modular design a feature which is very rare even amongst the highest-end models in the market currently. True 100% modular models have shown slightly inferior numbers on the 3.3v/5v rails compared to the same models but with the main power cables hardwired into the chassis but the TPG-0750M produced solid results even while our test rig managed to draw 803W from it. If you also care about the design of your PSU then the TPG-0750M probably has you covered with its black/gold/red color combination that makes it stand out from the crowd. The 140mm fan is also one of the good features of the TPG-0750M since even at extreme load it remained inaudible so kudos to Yate Look for that.

   The ToughPower Grand TPG-0750M by Thermaltake currently retails for USD129.99 inside the USA (Newegg.com) and for around 140Euros inside the EU a price tag which i think is just right for such a product. Of course much like everything else in this industry if you decide to go higher on your budget there are quite a few 80 Plus Platinum power supply units for you to choose from including some very special ones by other manufacturers like Seasonic. However getting an fully modular 80 Plus Gold Certified model featuring quality components, a single powerful +12V rail and inaudible running at such a price is a very good deal and that's why the ToughPower Grand TPG-0750M 750W power supply unit by Thermaltake gets our Golden Award.
