Epilogue
The DeepCool PN750D uses a budget CWT platform named GPW, which is ATX v3.1 compliant. Performance is not great since this model is destined for low-cost and not high-end systems, with graphics cards that can have high power spikes, requiring a tolerant power supply. If you are after higher performance, you should look at a PSU utilizing CWT’s GPX or, even better, the CSZ platform. Moreover, you should keep in mind that the PN750D only has native cables. Hence, the installation process won’t be as straightforward as that of a fully modular unit. Usually, removing the modular cables is the first thing to do to suppress the production cost.

The PN750D loses to the XPG Kyber 750, and the performance difference with the high-end 750W models is large enough. Whether the price difference is justified depends on the asking price of this product, which I estimate will be close to 80 dollars. With $100, you can get the Corsair RM750e, which offers almost 10% higher performance and is dead silent, contrary to the noisy PN750. In general, there are several fully modular ATX v3.x offerings in the $90-$100 price range offering higher performance and lower noise output, so for the PN750D to be competitive, its price tag should be around $70, which I am not sure if it is possible.
Before investing in a new power supply, read my Best ATX v3.x PSUs article to check all alternative PSU offerings. You help me a lot by using my affiliate links, which don’t increase the product’s price. I get a commission from Amazon every time you do it, which can make a difference for me, especially now that I am on my own, working exclusively for my media and not for someone else.

- Delivered full power at 47°C
- ATX v3.1 and PCie 5.1 ready
- 12V-2×6 connector (450W)
- Properly set OCP at 12V and OPP
- Satisfactory efficiency (for a budget unit)
- Tight load regulation
- Alternative Low Power Mode (ALPM) compatible
- 10-year warranty
- High OCP triggering points on the minor rails
- Low overall performance
- Over 36 dBA average noise output
- Lower than 70% efficiency with a 2% load
- Low power factor readings
- The cooling fan’s quality is so-so
- Mediocre transient response on all rails
- Not efficient 5VSB rail
- Above 0.1W standby power at 230V
- No SCP at -12V
- Short distance between the peripheral connectors (120mm)
Probably just a typographical error. I suggest you correct the amperage on the 12 volt rail from 6,205 amps to 62.5 amps.
I agree with your review. The psu may be budget oriented but it does need a few improvements.
thanks!
Hi, is there a chance to test the Seasonic Focus GX-850W power supply in the ATX 3.0 version?
