FSP Hydro G Series 750 W Review

A Look Inside & Component Analysis »

Packaging


The box sports a nice graphics design and is strong enough to provide good protection. At its front, FSP showcases the changeable stickers, and there are a series of icons in the bottom-left corner for the 80 PLUS Gold efficiency, semi-passive operation, fully modular design, and Japanese caps. In the opposite corner are the capacity description and five year warranty icon, and another icon that most likely stands for the PSU's compatibility with Intel's Broadwell CPUs.


A scheme on this side describes all available connectors. Unfortunately, there is no information on each cable's length, which would be useful, especially to us reviewers.


The power specifications table can be found here, along with two graphs for the efficiency and fan-speed curves.


FSP has an app for Android OS devices. They should make one for iOS devices as well.


There is an interesting scheme of the PSU's internals on the back of the box, providing information on the technologies used. There is also a pretty long features list on this side.

Contents


The contents inside the box are protected very well.


A small box includes the bundle consisting of the modular cables, two Velcro straps, a set of fixing bolts, two sets of stickers, the user's manual, and another leaflet.

Exterior


The HG750's external design is quite appealing and unique, which makes it stand out from other available offerings. The fan grille looks nice and doesn't restrict airflow. The same goes for the front-exhaust grille without the usual honeycomb design.


The pre-applied side stickers look plain, so it is nice that you can change them. FSP probably used these boring stickers out of the box in order to highlight the additional ones they provide with the PSU. The power specifications label is on the bottom.


The PSU's rear is covered by a large sticker that has to be removed in order to remove the screws that hold the modular PCB in place. Putting this one back in place will be a pain. FSP states that the modular sockets are optimally arranged; however, we would like more space between its 8-pin sockets.


The finish is of very good quality. This PSU's overall external build quality is pretty high.

Cables


The cables are all-black, flat, and of decent quality. The 24-pin ATX cable needs a little more force than usual to be connected to its two modular sockets.
