The XFX Pro 750W Black Edition Fully Modular Power Supply costs £114.90 in the UK. This makes the XFX power supply significantly cheaper than competitors such as the Corsair AX760i which costs around £145 and the Seasonic X-750 (the power supply this is based on) which costs £130. XFX really have worked miracles with this pricing and you wonder if they can even make a profit on them, but “business speculation” aside the XFX Pro 750W Black Edition power supply is an absolute steal at £114.90 and I can’t see any power supply out there that can possibly challenge this unit in terms of what it offers for the money.
The power supply is in my opinion totally flawless. It has incredibly tight voltage regulation at all load scenarios including cross load, the noise and ripple is non existent in virtually all scenarios and the efficiency is above its rated 80 Plus Gold certification requirements. Furthermore the PFC scores were very impressive, the power supply looks the business, the cables are beautifully braided/blackened, the fully modular design ticks a lot of boxes for most enthusiasts and the fan is totally silent at all loads with the option to switch to a hybrid on/off mode where it turns off at low loads. After all that I think it is clear that there isn’t anything to dislike about this power supply!
Pros
- Tight voltage regulation on all rails
- High efficiency, slightly higher than 80 Plus Gold
- Consistently high PFC levels
- Fan operates at low speeds at all loads and is very quiet
- Very affordable price relative to competitors
- 5 year warranty
- Hybrid Fan On/Off switch
- High quality components
Cons
- None! – I challenge you to find me one

With high efficiency, high PFC, tight voltage regulation, low noise, a massive 5 year warranty and a fully modular design what’s not to like about the XFX Pro 750W Black Edition power supply? Congratulations to XFX for such a great power supply.“
Thank you to XFX for providing this review sample.
It looks like one of the very PSUs released by XFS.
And, hey it’s great to see proper PSU testing methods are being used while reviewing. 🙂
@Ryan: Another good review from you man!!
The test results and Editors Choice award are not surprising in the least considering it’s Seasonic unit but what amazes me is the price XFX sells it for. If you’re in the market for a PSU of this class the only thing you should be asking yourself is do you want surface or air shipping.
Nice work Ryan. It reminds me of the days I used to test & repair (yes, repair) PSU’s of all types. If I did it these days I’d demand danger pay.
I noticed you mentioned it missed 80plus Platinum by 2%, but you need to use the 115V Internal values, which means it did pass Platinum. Look on the 80plus site to clarify. This is a 115V internal power supply and not 230V.
i wonder if there is a way you can still find sun moon load tester used for cheap
