Thanks for the review.

I think some expert commentary regarding the use cases for this 750 watt level as opposed to higher or lower and when someone should consider going to the "higher lines" would be a welcome addition.

Is anyone actually conducting tests on capacitors that indicate that the Premium Japanese manufacturers are still providing a better product in 2024 ? It been twenty years since the capacitor plague.

80 Plus - I'd like this place to burn down.
80 Plus Bronze - I'd like this place to burn down while attempting to point the finger away from me.
80 Plus Silver - Not good enough for gold. Not guaranteed to burn your house down. You won't see many of these.
80 Plus Gold - Minimum for a not burn your house down / gaming build. Very noisy.
80 Plus Platinum - Good quality power efficient parts allows for near silent operation.
80 Plus Titanium - Excellent build quality. Extremely quiet. Will outlast GPU.

no 200% GPU power draw transient load test for ATX 3.0 checks?

I don't think 80 Plus ratings measure anything more than straight up efficiency in few designated ranges .

I don't think 80 Plus ratings measure anything more than straight up efficiency in few designated ranges .

True but to meet those lower efficiency ratings they use lower quality/cheaper parts which have a tendency to best case fail or worst case start a fire.

A PSU having lower energy efficiency such as 80 Plus, means that on average that PSU will not last as long as a higher efficiency part like an 80 Plus Gold, Platinum or Titanium.
Heat is the enemy of electronics and so the cooler you can make them run the longer they will last.
An 80 Plus rating literally means it will generate more heat than an equal wattage Gold or higher.

Something of higher quality like the Corsair AX1000 with its 80 Plus Titanium rating has a 10 year warranty showing that Corsair believes it will last at least 10 years.

For comparison the Thermaltake Litepower 750W ... aka the firestarter ... has a 2 year warranty with its 80 Plus rating.

This is so stupid I had to register just to point out how stupid it is.

I agree.
Power supplies with such bad craftsmanship that they pose a danger to people and objects around them should not be sold to the public.
