Final Thoughts
This product seems to be aimed at those who are looking for a fantastic quality power supply without paying a premium. Coming in at only £90 at the time of writing you are getting a lot for your money- 750W of true power with exceptional stability and efficiency. The PSU does exactly what it says on the tin: provides TruePower, a name that describes exactly what this product does. Although we don’t have the equipment to test ripple and efficiency properly, looking at third party tests it is clear to see that

The PSU runs fairly quietly at most loads, but it can get loud due to it’s very small heatsinks when put under heavy load.

The fact the PSU costs only £90 comes with a price- there are a few evident cost-cutting tactics employed. First of all, the packaging is very basic with no foam, internal boxes or extras. We can also see that the exterior of the PSU is very plain, sporting nothing but a stamped Antec logo and specifications sticker. Some may argue that it makes the PSU look more professional, although we have seen professional PSUs with a more interesting design. However, the important thing is that the costs have been in the lower priority areas rather than the quality of the PSU unlike many manufacturers.

Overall, if you are looking for a top quality PSU for a high powered system without spending the premium for a Corsair PSU then this is a fantastic choice! You will not be disappointed with the quality of this unit and it is reassuring to know that your system is being provided with good, clean power. The TPN-750’s main competitor will be the much newer XFX Black Edition 750W PSU which offers the same power and features as Antec’s offering with higher efficiency. However, the Antec PSU can be had much cheaper than the XFX Black Edition and speaks for itself in terms of quality.
