#1118 - Antec TP-750 TruePower 750W Power Supply Video Review

[NeckPickup]

the silence of that fan gave me time to reflect on the things i regret. im sorry to everyone I murdered in 2004.

[TensonFlo]

I think about buy the 550W Version of the PSU,

hopefully 550w are enough for my rig, but since Ill never get two GPUs or stuff like that it will do the job, eh?

[skyhawk77]

I've had mine since Jan 2010, after about 10 months I could start to very faintly hear the bearings ticking over. It's not an issue though as a I have my case a Coolermaster Scout on it's side under my desk. It's a great PSU however and it's never failed on my I7 920 OC to 3.63 Ghz(4 internal Hard drives, 1 DVDRW, Palit 1 Gig GTS 250) I have the Blue LED version of this PSU. Well worth the money of £90 I got it for from SCAN.

[jinchurikione]

this psu will work with amd right?. not sure if some psu's can or can not.

[JMANJMANJMANJMANJMAN]

@jinchurikione All PSUs will work with any brand of CPU.

[supaethan]

Is the fan intake or exhaust? My case is Antec 300, should I mount this PSU fan facing down or up? Right now mine is facing up, I found the sata cables' connector is upside down when connecting to my HDD, there is no way I can twist the cable beside adding an extra sata cable.

[samod1990]

man half of the video is talking about general PSU understanding and thats on every video u post about PSU

[rctwik]

@3DGAMEMAN this or the antec HCG-750?

[rctwik]

Which would you recommend, this or the HCG-750?

[MentalError07]

I have a question about this PSU; could it efficiently power a AMD Phenom II x4 965 and 2x XFX 6870s Black Edition?

[darrenbritton]

@MentalError07

No your going to need something bigger,try a Antec Truepower Quattro 1000w

[X3N0TiC]

@wmjs2andfriends No not all are the same size, but this is fairly small and should fit.

[wmjs2andfriends]

Are all power supplies the same physical size, cause im getting a coolermaster elite 430, will this fit into it

[Ricerguy]

I'm Sold :) (y)

[banging35hzs]

picked up the blue l.e.d version for my build as well as a haf 922 and ordering the UD5 board soon, is a really nice power supply.

[QuadfishTym]

Buying this! Seriously, I'm amazed it can handle the 5970, OCed i7920 and 4 HDDs. That is definitely kickass.

[boredgunner]

This is a good PSU. I've had it for about 6 months and it never failed. Powered my E8400 running at 3.8 ghz, two GTX 260 CORE 216 55nm cards in SLI at 720/1530/1188 and the rest of my system (one hard drive, 10 fans at the time). I'm now using it on the same system but I have a GTX 480 overclocked to 863/1726/1050 (1.138v), 12 case fans and I even used a GTX 260 CORE 216 55nm SC in tandem with my GTX 480. Works great, great buy for $90. Beats the Corsair TX750 in every way.

[LFCforEver12341]

@boredgunner this is a terrible psu.. the +12v is at 11.59v ! thats TERRIBLE. the corsair has about 12.10v alot better.

[boredgunner]

@LFCforEver12341 @LFCforEver12341 LOL, these reviews use software readings which mean nothing. There is no accuracy in them whatsoever. See the real reviews at GND-Tech and JonnyGURU. The TX750 does regulate a bit better (less drop) but both regulate around 2% on the main rails. However the TruePower New series have considerably better ripple suppression that is on par with some of the best power supplies, since some parts of this PSU come straight from the Seasonic M12D platform.

[freego56]

nice review, awesome PSU, I'm gonna buy one right now in newegg :D, I bought an Antec case too, antec mini P180 white. :P

[TheRomanCandle790]

can i run a power supply with just fans hooked up to it?

[bambihumper]

wouldnt it bet better if I would buy the Antec TruePower Quattro 850w, it is 10 euro more and it is 100 w more ?

[ModuSublime]

I've always been a fan of Antec and their power supplies have never failed me once. I purchased the TP 750 blue. Cable management is nice and it's for my new Phenom II setup with 2x5850. This power supply was/is on sale for 99$ on the NCIX website. Amazing deal.

[BMF123321]

is your antec tp-750 psu still working?. is it good? let me know.

[ModuSublime]

@BMF123321: Of course it's still working. Corsair and Antec are extremely reliable power supplies. I run my PC for many hours a day. I'm an engineering student and I play games from time to time. Zero problems.

[MrJadamccaddens]

uhmschnüffel gibts den keinen hier der mit mir chatten mag bin so gelangweilt

[Hekynn]

Very nice and cool thing is my local Officemax has this psu! Which is perfect no long drive to Bestbuy that's like 20 miles aways from home.

[loadead1]

rodney you have the greenest eyes in the world! lol!

[Jorgie0101]

If you have a GPU that requires 32amps on the 12v rail for example does that mean if got a 2nd one in SLI would you need 64amps?

[Terry1212]

I have this PSU. It's very nice. I got the blue version of it though. :D

[BMF123321]

is the antec tp-750 psu still working? is it good? let me know.

[acefilms2008]

ok first of all, that rig is beastly with that ATI radeon HD 5970, and its core i7, next, i have an Ultra LSP750, 750W power supply, i was wondering is it good? compared to the Antec? not putting the fact that it is not modular? it has a nice 135mm fan over the 120mm fan on the antec that im sure of =D

[mysticblade35]

What exactly constitutes a hardcore or extreme rig? I'm new to PC gaming and I'm doing some research.

[TheLight8000]

excellent review Rodney 10/10

[hamburglerz77]

I really missed up by getting a PCI 8400gs to use as a PhysX card with my 2 GTX 260 in SLI on a old NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition from Dell in a XPS 710. I get a really bad flicker in games when the 8400gs is in enabled as the PhysX card.

[nikyjim]

this guy is better than computer tv

[wwyk1993]

@nikyjim LinusTechTips and NCIXTechTips rocks!!!!

[williamkendrick]

dont get corsair, go antec. they make very good psu's. corsair quality has been slacking recently.

btw, i'm running an antec earthwatts 650 watt psu.. only thing is i have a single card solution (gtx 295 x2), and i have a very robust power distribution system already in effect, so a 650 was fine (80 plus silver as well, total wattage: 375 under load 190 with gpu's idle, full idle , and i'm very proud of this, 75 watts.). for a true dual sli setup, you should never go below 750 continuous

[ams2990]

I've never been impressed by any PSU Antec makes except their Signature line. Look at the 12v line under load! It drops nearly half a volt.

[timdietz88]

Rodney sir, I miss the bloopers... Now I just do not believe that every review goes flawless and smooth!

[donosmond]

This is one of the power supply I'm checking out for a i5 build.... I would prefer modular so there are only a few choices in the same price range

Antec True Power New 750W - TP-750,

Silverstone Strider+ 750W - ST75F-P

Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W - TRX-750M

What do you guys think of my options? There in the order of what I would prefer by the way

[xXtogoodXx]

dont get the thermaltake, and imo i would get one of the corsair models as they are very reliable have the best cables for cable routing.

[Chancellor521]

Thermaltake is amazing. Been using them for the past 10 years and never have a problem. I'm currently using the: Thermaltake EVO Blue W0308RU 750W ATX This thing is amazing. It has every possible connector you can think of. It comes with a bunch of LEDs Blue Green Red Combo Blinking or steady, your choice, looks sweet in the night time in the dark. I have the Antec 900 Two case with the power supply on the bottom so I get to enjoy the beauty of this thing.

[R3aCt0rM1nd]

@Donosmond

if your after a good PSU which doesnt break the bank check out his review of the NorthQ 850w Semi modular psu (motherboard cable is wired in) the rest are completly modular!

Damn nice psu X-fire/Quad sli x4 +12v Rails 25A each!

Just got one myself from Scan for £70!!

Bargain!

[0424545269]

when selecting a power supply i always look at the voltage stability of the rails and thus far i have yet to see antec produce something that does this effectively. Corsair, Enermax and the new psu from XFX seem to be the way to go

[GregTechTV]

Definitely a possibility for my next build!

Thanks!

[Kj3k53]

Those cables looks like snakes

[0xXCSSXx0]

TP=Toilet paper

[Vilberts]

I like people who care for almost-perfect video(-review) being done. Thanks!

[Starforce9]

I think I will hang with my Corsair 750W. It powers my dual 4890s and Phenom II 955 @ 3.9Ghz fine.

[marcyboy123]

Lmfao oh your so cool eh?

obviously you wouldnt buy another 750 watt if you already had one..........

[Starforce9]

lol you know it.

[skilleronrs]

nice review and lol @ the antec site in the background =p

[ikcti]

Japanese capacitors are generally of higher grade...

[KronicKillaz]

Ok, this seems logical but im not sure. So..i have ddr2 667 memory and i want to get a motherboard that supports ddr2 800 and above. now can i put my 667 in there and just try and oc it or will it not work at all. I know it works the other way around it just lowers the clock. I would be thankful for any help. Oh and another thing..STFU ABOUT RAILS RODNEY!!! lol

[lolimso18]

@KronicKillaz

Yes, if a motherboard says it can take ddr2 800, you can fit any ddr2 memory up to 800mhz.

You can try installing 1066mhz memory aswell, but you will need to overclock the bus speeds of the motherboard.

Hope this helps =]

[aschris87]

id stick with my corsair tx650w with its sil 85+ cert witch is good enough for a single card gameing pc...

[KuruGDI]

I wish they would have included a 130mm or 135mm fan and more modular leads... Even I guess you will use the hardwired leads anyway it's easier to install the cables if the PSU is 100% modular or if only the 20/24pin motherboard connection is hardwired

[BUCK3TM4N]

always good reviews

[chungman212]

that little smile of joy you seem to get when you can give a product a kick arse rating is what keeps me watching your videos, keep doing what you love.

[AnotherNutJob]

Question, he says four 12v rails are 25amps each but maximum load is 62amps does that mean 62amps can be passed through one of the four 12v rails?

[arcticf0x8]

@AnotherNutJob

It would be safe to say that each rail only carries 25 amps...I think....

[takeapieandrun]

@AnotherNutJob It means each rail can carry up to 25amps, but only 62 amps can be used at a time. So all 4 rails can never operate at full amperage at the same time.

[AnotherNutJob]

Thanks for the answer. I was just wondering cause my GTX 285 seems to work fine on my psu's 25a 12v rail.

[pfernando27]

i got a rocketfish 700w psu for 20 dollars at a flee market. and it came with all the cables never had a problem. awesome

[Deamo98]

Very detailed review 5/5 keep up the good work rod.

[iheartcomps]

Rodnay Renaldo

[David12King]

Wow. Quiet as

[AndreaFranchitti]

i think corsair are the best power supply in the world btw

[desurgeon]

@AndreaFranchitti Yo im gona let u finish but seasonic has the best power supplies of all time, OF ALL TIME.

[Parthurs]

Why was the 12v rail so low? 11.59.?

[chri001eddy]

@Parthurs the 12v rail isnt low 11.59 is how close is it to its rated load ergo 12v  so 11.59v

[TylertheGeek28]

nice quality psu, nice review

[xoANONiMUSox]

a quick question - is a 450W psu enough to run athlon II X2 250, xfx radeon 4830 and GB ma770 ud3 board w/ 4gb ram (and 2 dvd drives)....

i'm thinking of choosing the 550W psu, but it costs quite a bit more, so i'm asking just to be sure :)

[muiecopyright]

if the power supply is a good one yes it can run that system no problem.

[xoANONiMUSox]

thanx :)

[error262]

get 550 or 650... it will be enought but psu will get very hot

[TheMRamstaff]

yes if it has at least 40 amps or more

[Enfeeblement]

Great review.

[Antje14]

This one doesn't have the crossfire certification but this won't really matter if you would still use it for a crossfire setup though?

[Snapscape]

I have an Enermax Liberty PSU and the only cables that are hardwired are for the motherboard and CPU. This is a poor excuse for a modular PSU. Why so many hardwired cables?

[rodrigosendas]

nice review
