 Far better than most premium brandsJun 15, 2010
By Alex Daniels
It's not much of a secret that Antec uses Seasonic to build a number of their power supplies, and Seasonic supplies are well liked. However, not all Seasonic sourced supplies are exactly the same. As a savvy OEM builder, Seasonic has some basic common platforms that it uses (saves them design cost), but extra features are added on top of the platform to make the final product. This Antec uses the premium design base platform from Seasonic and then adds a little extra:
Antec realized years ago (back when they designed their own products) that proper power supplies have voltage regulation on all of it's rails - they were one of the pioneers of multi-line regulation for PC power supplies. They called this "TruePower" in their marketing. Without independent regulation, sudden load on one rail will affect the voltage on all the others - independent regulation is the only sensible way to design power supplies, yet many manufacturers take the cheap and crappy option to save a few bucks. Some don't bother regulating the 3.3v and 5v rails at all!
I did some research and found that the primary differentiator between this Antec supply and the other Seasonics (Corsair etc) is that the Antec version has 4 independently regulated 12v rails (the 3.3v and 5v rails are separately regulated in all versions). The Seasonic/Corsair have a single shared 12v rail. Obviously the Antec version is the more expensive and superior design. Chances are, you'll hook up some of the 12V lines to the graphics card and the rest go elsewhere. Separate 12v regulation will ensure a consistent voltage across your entire system. If you value stability, look no further.
There are external tear-down reviews for this Antec that you can search for that are interesting (Amazon won't let me link directly to them). There was one thing the tear-down reviewers got wrong, on page 3 on soldering they criticised having the component leads sticking out of the solder more than minimally necessary. Actually, doing this leads to greater reliability - ask any electrical engineer.
The power characteristics of this power supply are truly excellent - compare how much power you can draw on a single rail vs. other supplies, even those rated higher wattage. You'll find the Antec is rated for a much higher amp draw than others. This is because the inferior design of the others will not keep the voltage stable at the highest loads.
In summary, you can pay much more for another power supply and get an inferior product. This supply perfectly balances having extremely advanced (expensive) design while still being afforable. (There are great rebates to be found that can get the price <$90.)
Update: Over a year later (Sept '11), things are going well with the original supply and everything is rock solid. I'm building a 2nd PC with the same supply, although the price seems to have gone up a little, it's the best choice out there still.

Great Clean and Steady Power/ Not the Old Model Truepower 750Apr 14, 2011
By T. R. Kanavy
"The Friendly Cyborg"
I build a fair amount of computers and this is a power supply I often rely on to compete a rig. In my experiences, they are consistently grand performers and deliver steady clean power. Many of the other reviews here praise the unit, so I won't continue to do so (though its quality certainly deserves more than I've mentioned). Instead, the reason for my review is to tell you a bit of information that is not as easily un-covered.
Essentially there is a big difference between the Antec NEW Truepower (This reviewed unit/ model 23754 TP-750) and the Antec Truepower 750. In my opinion Amazon really needs to update this item description and add the "NEW" which is currently missing. The reason this is important is that the older model, the one lacking the "NEW" label is manufactured by Delco and the quality is average. This one, however, is manufactured by Seasonic- often renown as the best PSU manufacturer in the world. The quality of this unit is much higher than that of its predecessor. In fact, if you read about this power supply on other sites that offer PC components you'll often read a review that says "unit failed after 1 year" or something similar, then you look at the post date and realize that this NEW Antec model was not even available at the time of the reviewers purchase. The name is so confusing that people often review the wrong unit and assign the wrong attributes of the old model to this newer version. Antec should have done themselves, and all of us, a favor and named this something completely different. I mean how hard is it to name a powersupply? The "Antec Megapower" moniker would have avoided the whole problem and provided an apt description of the unit.
I hope this insight helped your decision. If you have a question feel free to ask in the comment section and I'll try to get back to you quickly. Thanks

One of the best PSU's on the market.Dec 05, 2010
By Terry
I built my computer in July of last year(July, 2009). My system specs are:
Raidmax Smilodon case
Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue PSU
MSI 790FX-GD70 motherboard
4GB(2x2GB) Mushkin Enhanced DDR3 1600 RAM(part number 996601)
HIS Radeon HD 4890 1GB video card
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB hard drive
Lite-On DVD Burner
This system runs with no hiccups whatsoever. Voltages are all within spec. The fan is very quiet. One of the things I love about Antec power supplies is that Antec rates all of their power supplies in terms of continuous power, not peak power. So when I'm putting together a build and I'm calculating how much power I need for that system to run, or more if I want room for upgrades later on, I know if I go with Antec, it can provide that much power all day long, 24/7, without the computer freezing up or random reboots.
Something I've noticed is that some reviewers have made a deduction on the rating because this power supply is not fully modular. I don't believe this is necessary because this power supply is not advertised as being fully modular, therefore, should not be expected to be. This power supply is semi-modular, or as Antec calls it "Advanced Hybrid Cable Management". The cable management of this power supply is described right on the product page and even shown in the pictures on the product page. So if someone needs and/or wants a fully modular power supply, they should buy a fully modular power supply. Not buy a power supply that wasn't fully modular, and then make deductions on a review because it wasn't something they wanted. The cable management of this power supply is perfectly fine for my setup. I don't have any complaints about it.
750 watts of continuous power. I love it. :)

An Extremely Well-regulated Computer Power SupplySep 18, 2010
By Peter D. Mar
Unlike most computer power supply, this one generates only 12 volt on the main transformer and then utilizing DC to DC voltage regulator modules to generate 5 V and 3.3 V similarly to what a motherboard that does to generate power for the CPU and computer memories. 's done this way to get greater efficiency. At medium load, the power conversion efficiency is as high as 87%. The permanently attached cables on this unit is all I needed and did not need to use the modular plugs for additional cables. On the back of this unit there are four terminals. The two red ones are actually for video cards and are wired on rails three and four. The two black ones are connected to rail one.
The outputs from this power supply is extremely stable. I've practically do not notice any voltage jittery on any of the three outputs when subjected to heavy loads. The 12 V output is rated close to the maximum power supply output at 45 amperes which equals to 540 W. With this kind of rating, this unit should be able to power practically any single video card PC out there. All of the connecting cables are neatly braided and nice and long. The length should be more than enough to accommodate mid-tower computer.
I am extremely happy with the performance of this power supply. I did not actually buy this unit directly but got it as a warranty replacement to replace my earlier failed unit of the same capacity from Antec. To obtain warranty service, I went online and request an RMA from Antec. As soon as I received an e-mail from them with the RMA number and instructions, I mailed via parcel post the defective unit to them paying for postage about $10. In about a week and a half, I've received postage paid the better replacement power supply. Luckily I did not need to use additional cables to install because they did not supply me with any of the modular connection cables. This could have been a problem for those of you who has two video cards instead of one. Since this is a warranty replacement, Antec assumes that I still have the modular cables. In my case, the previous power supply doesn't have modular outputs.

Working great.Feb 09, 2011
By Adrian J. Reynolds

No problems with my PSU so far. It's running my i7 desktop, ATI HD6950 and 4 HDDs without any problems. Silent operation. Nothing else to say. It is what it should be: invisible. Probably the best compliment a PSU can have.
