XFX PRO 750 W Black Edition Full Modular Power Supply Review

Ripple and Noise Tests

Voltages at the power supply outputs must be as “clean” as possible, with no noise or oscillation (also known as “ripple”). The maximum ripple and noise levels allowed  are 120 mV for +12 V and -12 V outputs, and 50 mV for +5 V, +3.3 V and +5VSB outputs. All values are peak-to-peak figures. We consider a power supply as being top-notch if it can produce half or less of the maximum allowed ripple and noise levels.

The XFX PRO 750 W Black Edition Full Modular provided extremely low ripple and noise levels, as you can see in the table below.

Input Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Test 4 Test 5
+12VA 19.2 mV 22.6 mV 25.8 mV 28.8 mV 34.2 mV
+12VB 19.6 mV 24.6 mV 27.0 mV 32.8 mV 37.0 mV
+5 V 10.4 mV 11.0 mV 12.2 mV 12.4 mV 14.4 mV
+3.3 V 10.2 mV 10.8 mV 12.2 mV 14.4 mV 15.4 mV
+5VSB 12.4 mV 6.6 mV 7.6 mV 8.0 mV 9.6 mV
-12 V 18.6 mV 22.2 mV 22.8 mV 26.8 mV 34.2 mV

Below you can see the waveforms of the outputs during test five.

Let’s see if we can pull more than 750 W from this unit.

  1. Man I wanted to leave a comment on this psu, It’s been running strong since I purchased it around 13′-15′ iirc. It has been in multiple systems, currently powering a 3700x + 6800xt and some ssds one hdd and couple of nvme drives. I am genuinely surprised/happy at how long it has lasted and it’s still going! Potentially it will last till my kids are old enough for a pc!

    Probably my finest pc part selection I’ve ever made.
    Will be getting a seasonic for my next psu since XFX stopped making psu’s.
