1STPLAYER SFX 750W Platinum Power Supply Review

Overview

The 1STPLAYER SFX 750W Platinum packaging is small but not well put together. The front of the package has a bit of information about this unit and a shadowed picture of the power supply itself on a black background. Besides a few advertising points, we see an 80 Plus Platinum seal and a warranty seal. When we check the 80 Plus website we find that this unit was not listed at the time of testing.

The rear of the packaging has literally nothing on it. One side of the packaging has all of the same information that we saw on the front of the package including the 7-year warranty. The other side of packaging just contains the bar code and the certificates. Overall, the packaging feels lacking.

Given that there was nothing about unit specifications on the actual packaging we had to look to the user manual. The problem is, however, that the power specifications were not in the user manual either. Ok, fine it looks like we go to the unit itself. Here, we find a very sloppy power table but we have deciphered it as best we can for you above.

It appears that the 1STPLAYER SFX 750W Platinum is advertised as being a single 12v rail power supply with a capacity up to 62A (or ~99% of the unit’s capacity) if necessary. The minor rails (5v and 3.3v) have a capacity of 20A each and the combined capacity of those two rails is 100W. Combined with these outputs, we find that this unit has 3 PCIe connectors, 8 SATA connectors, and 4 Molex connectors.

Once we open the 1STPLAYER SFX 750W Platinum packaging we find the power supply, mounting screws, modular cables, the power cord, the “user manual”, and the “Smart Fan Control” card. From the “user manual” it is impossible to discover which models this covers since it never says anything about models and it gives the worst information possible about semi-modular and fully modular units in a very general sense in 8 different languages. Over the years, I have seen some terrible documentation but usually, that is because it was lacking. This documentation is terrible though because it is lacking and confusing.
