14 DAY TRIAL // If there's anything everyone can agree on in regards to the extreme performance segment, it is that power use is not really a concern. As long as the PC works at beyond overkill levels, it doesn't matter how much power it uses.
It's kind of the same logic as the one that says people won't care, beyond a certain point, about how much money they have to pay. In fact, it would be suspicious if PCs and their components didn't have some sort of super high price.
Taking that into account, the Fury PSU line from BitFenix, and the Fury 750G in particular, is kind of an oddball because it is actually pretty weak.
It's an odd world when 750W is considered a low wattage, but it's the truth when you're talking about using it to power a super-powered PC in which the Haswell-E CPU alone eats up 140W.
Having eight DDR4 DIMM memory slots, up to 10 storage devices and up to four graphics cards, plus a bunch of liquid cooling and other accessories, won't make the load any smaller.
Then again, BitFenix wasn't specifically aiming for Haswell-E computers, even though it did time the press release pretty close to the release of those chips.
Instead, BiteFenix worked on the Fury PSU line, and the Fury 750G specifically, until it was validated for use in Haswell-based PCs in general.
The product is suited for people who don't want a truly overkill PC, but intend to get a Haswell CPU and associated hardware anyway.
The new power supply unit is fully compatible with Intel Haswell C6/C7 sleep states, where power usage is lowered when the system enters sleep mode.
Many power supplies don't have this, which can cause computers to malfunction, to fail to return from sleep mode, or for the computer to just lose OS stability. All because the 12V2 rail can't provide the minimum load of 0.05 amps.
BitFenix Fury PSUs will do well in normal Haswell CPU-based computers, but they could work as a stepping stone for Haswell-E super-PCs as well. Say you only have money for the CPU and some RAM now, plus the mainboard and a graphics card. You can get a Fury PSU and use it until extra graphics cards and storage units demand a stronger one, later down the line.
After that, you can just transfer the PSU to your secondary or office PC and reduce the power waste there as well. The modular line is, after all, 80 Plus Gold rated.
