Introducing BitFenix Fury PSU Series

Top quality components and impressive design combine for the ultimate PSU

(BitFenix Design Lab, April 30, 2014) – For a long time, the power supply is one part of the PC that users prefer to remain unseen. These dull, lifeless boxes were made to perform in the background, away from sight. Challenging the status quo, BitFenix set out to make a power supply that not only delivered on a performance level, but also utilized enough design elements to let it stand out in a system build. To that end, BitFenix announces the Fury Power Supply Series. Featuring top quality components like all Japanese capacitors, a killer design aesthetic, and top-notch efficiency, Fury is set to become the new gold standard in semi-modular power supply units.

Killer Aesthetics

Starting with the chassis, Fury brings a bold yet sophisticated design to the realm of power supplies. Both top and bottom are adorned with a stamped BitFenix logo, along with a custom aluminum ring accent that exudes an aggressive look no matter which direction you install it. Combined with a quality matte powder-coat finish, Fury is the first PC power supply that's designed to enhance the look of your system.

After taking the modding world by storm with the Alchemy lineup of sleeved cable extensions, BitFenix has brought its one of a kind Nanosleeve braiding to the Fury Power Supply. Each cable that comes with Fury is sleeved with Nanosleeve braiding for excellent flexibility and unsurpassed aesthetics. With Fury, modders will spare their warranties while saving hours of time sleeving their own PSU cables. Best of all, the semi-modular design allows builders to only use the cables they need, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow inside the system. For the boutique modded look with zero effort, look no further than BitFenix Fury.

Advanced Performance

But even a good looking power supply is no use if it doesn't deliver on a technical level. That's why Fury utilizes advanced features to meet the power needs of the modern PC. 80PLUS certification ensures up to 90% efficiency for maximum cost savings over time. Single rail power delivery provides optimum power to system components that need it most, while active power factor correctionsmoothes out ripples for clean and steady power for the system.

Total Reliability

All of this power is harnessed via several key components and technologies that make Fury a power supply users can rely on day in and day out. To ensure clean output and long life, Fury employs a design that utilizes all Japanese capacitors.  Renowned for their quality and longevity, all Japanese capacitors puts Fury in a class above other PSU designs. A 135mm fluid dynamic bearing fan not only helps keep temperatures under control, but does so with minimal noise. Finally, Fury also comes equipped with BitShield Six-Point Protection, a series of safeguards that prevent damage to the PC caused by electrical anomalies, including under voltage, over voltage, short circuit and more. All of this is backed by a five-year warranty so users can use Fury with confidence.

Available in 550W, 650W, and 750W models, BitFenix Fury delivers a trifecta of performance, reliability and aesthetics perfect for today's high octane PC builds.

Overview

At first glance, I quickly noticed that 80+ gold rating badge and the silver colored box which seems to be emphasizing the highlighted features offered by the V750S. Brief but detailed presentation allows almost anybody to notice these features easily.

Inside the box, the V750S is secured in between 2 pieces of eco-friendly box cover that provide scratch protection and a certain degree of shock protection. 

The content of the box is our V750S power supply unit, 4 pieces of flat modular cables ( 2 pieces for SATA & 2 pieces for 4-pin molex), a power cord, 4 pieces of mounting screws and a user's manual. To our surprise, there's no cable tie included as most manufacturer would have included.

Cooler Master utilizes the honeycomb ventilation design and a long life 120mm double ball bearing fan for a long lasting optimal heat dissipation. 

A closer look at the cables of the V750S, everything seems pretty similar to the G550M that we have reviewed earlier. The necessary cables attached by default - 24 pin for motherboard, 4+4 pin for CPU, .6+2 pin for graphics cards, while the 4 pin molex connector and SATA connector are made modular.

while flat modular cables gives better advantage in cable management, there's something that we've noticed which somewhat defeats the purpose of having a modular interface. Instead of having 4 pin molex and SATA combo cable, the modular cables are separated to 4 pin molex only and SATA only. Although users with larger chassis such as full tower and mid tower aren't really affected much by it, it'll still be great if there's a single modular cable with 4 pin molex and SATA combo that will clearly benefits those who uses a small form factor chassis.

From the power delivery details provided, we can see that's an impressive amount of power delivered by the 12V rail. The V750S is capable of running a system with GTX660 SLI configuration without even breaking a sweat. 


Our Verdict
We have test conducted that involves gaming session on high demanding games ( Crysis 3, Battlefield 3, Metro: Last Light) and the CPU/GPU demanding Stanford University's Project Folding@Home. The result is very pleasing, showing no signs of hiccups throughout the test. But then again, by looking at reality straight into the eye, we believe that there isn't many who would really go till the extent of stressing the power supply unit like what we have done throughout the entire test that took roughly 3 weeks .

Pros
- Flat modular cables for better cable management
- Powerful +12V rail that is enough to power up almost any high end graphics card
- Promising efficiency of a 80+ Gold certified power supply

Cons
- Absence of cable tie
- Lack of SATA & 4-pin Molex combo modular cables

There's no doubt that the Cooler Master V750S is one of the best semi-modular gold rated power supply you can get at the price below 500 Malaysian Ringgit and it truly deserves a Gold Award and Recommended Award from us here at Tech-Critter.com.
