DeepCool PF750D-HA0B-UK (750W) PSU Review: Quiet Power on a Budget?

Introduction

The DeepCool PF750D-HA0B-UK, a 750W power supply unit (PSU), promises a balance of quiet operation and reliable performance at a competitive price point. Over the past few weeks, I’ve put this PSU through its paces in my main gaming rig to see if it lives up to the hype. My testing involved a variety of workloads, from casual web browsing to intense gaming sessions and video editing. This review aims to provide a comprehensive look at its strengths and weaknesses.

Features

The DeepCool PF750D-HA0B-UK boasts a 120mm fluid dynamic bearing fan, designed to reduce noise and extend lifespan. The 80 PLUS Standard certification indicates a decent level of energy efficiency. While it lacks some advanced features found in higher-end PSUs, its focus appears to be on providing stable power delivery at a budget-friendly price. The construction feels solid enough, and the modular design (if applicable, verify this from the specs) would be a plus for cable management. Further testing will determine how well these features perform.

Performance

During my testing, the DeepCool PF750D-HA0B-UK consistently delivered stable power to my system, even under heavy loads. Gaming sessions with demanding titles produced no noticeable power issues or shutdowns. The fan remained relatively quiet during normal usage. Under heavy load, the fan speed increased, but it never reached an irritatingly loud level. Temperature remained within acceptable ranges throughout all tests. I did notice a slight coil whine under certain high-load scenarios, but it was barely noticeable over the fan noise.

Further performance testing included stress testing software and benchmarks such as Prime95 and FurMark to push the PSU to its limits. It handled these stress tests without incident, confirming its stability.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Quiet operation (under normal load)
  • Stable power delivery
  • Affordable price
  • Good value for the price

Cons:

  • Slight coil whine under high load
  • Fan noise increase under heavy load
  • Lacks advanced features found in premium PSUs

Final Verdict

The DeepCool PF750D-HA0B-UK 750W PSU provides a dependable and quiet power solution for most users. It’s particularly well-suited for budget-conscious builders who prioritize stability over cutting-edge features. While the slight coil whine is a minor drawback, it’s easily overshadowed by its excellent performance and competitive price. I would recommend this PSU to anyone looking for a solid and reliable power supply without breaking the bank.
