OCZ Fatal1ty 750W Modular Gaming PSU - Cables and Inside the PSU

Cables:

Let’s just face it, cables all by themselves are dull at best, but most of them included in the Fatal1ty are the sweet flat cables we all like and this is a bonus.  The only one that isn’t is the 20x4 pin power cable, which is round and mesh sheathed. As you will see below, there are a decent amount of connectors for your gaming needs.

Inside the PSU:

Please be mindful that as we open this sucker up that it will completely void the warranty. Also, because of its ample capacitors, you could become victim to a large electric shock if you touch the wrong thing. Do not even attempt to open your PSU to compare looks. We are “trained’ professionals, meaning, we know the dangers, and with that burned into your mind and the smell of smoldering flesh in the air, click on the images below for a deeper look.

Test Setup & Info:

In the past we’ve prided ourselves on real-world testing. For graphics cards, CPUs and memory, what matters is what takes place in real applications and games. We also held that philosophy for PSU testing, but after a while, we realized that there is more to a PSU than being able to run a machine stable over a few weeks or months. In reality, if there is a lot of ripple, this can damage sensitive traces on your $1000 graphics card or $1000 CPU. A multi-meter alone is not good enough to check PSU voltage stability. It’s for this reason that we’ve updated our PSU testbed, and will continue to improve the detail and quality of our PSU reviews. That being said, we will still be testing the PSU in a system and will be including stress tests from real components in the real world.

We have purchased a Tektronics TDS2002 60MHz Dual Channel scope and it has already become invaluable around the shop here at BCCHardware headquarters.

On the next page we'll dive right into testing.
