Small, stylish, powerful. It’s the Lian Li SP Series Power Supply Unit. More specifically, the SP750 SFX 80 Plus Gold PSU. That’s right, 750W of power from a small form factor unit.
Whether you use small form factor builds to save on space, or just enjoy the challenge, this is the perfect PSU to install in your case. Despite its dinky size, all your high-end hardware will be efficiently delivered power without issue. If that isn’t fantastic, then I don’t know what is. (Why yes, I should get out more.)
Modular Power? Yes Please!
The first detail to point out on the Lian Li SP750 is that it is a fully modular power supply unit. SSF builds benefit from a lack of cable clutter, and Lian Li deliver with this SFX PSU. Whilst it may not light up, the SP Series certainly has all the whistles and bells you could want. Or rather, modular power and braided cables, that is. Therefore, with an absolute bounty of connectors, the Lian Li SP750 has a connection for every device requiring power – along with the matching braided cables.
As the picture to the left shows, there are plenty of connector ports. What’s more, they are clearly labelled, making your life even easier.
Because I’m a good egg, here is a full breakdown of the connectors and the included cables:
Connections
| No. of Ports | Connector | No. of Cables |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 24/20-Pin motherboard | 1 |
| 2 | 8/4-pin CPU/ATX 12V | 1 |
| 1 | 8/6+2-Pin PCIe | 1 |
| 2 | 8/6+2-pin PCIe | 1 |
| 4 | SATA | 2 |
| 4 | 4-Pin Peripheral | 1 |
Good As Gold
Did you know that the 80 PLUS Gold rating is the most cost-effective in terms of efficiency per pound? Well, you do now! PSUs with the 80 PLUS Gold rating strike the perfect balance between initial price tag, efficient power delivery, and the continued cost with regard to your electric bills. As such, its average 89% efficiency at half-load – otherwise known as the amount of power you are ideally using – makes the Lian Li SP750 an excellent choice when it comes to powering your gaming PC.
The efficiency of the Lian Li SP750 over the system loads never falls below 88%, readching peak performance at the half load mark. As a result, this is why it’s suggested you power your PC with a PSU that’s double your overall wattage. All so you can enjoy that premium power.
If you would like to learn more of the ins and outs of 80 PLUS ratings, check out this guide, written by yours truly. In short, it features a full breakdown of the 80 PLUS ratings and which ones go best in your gaming PC. Spoiler alert, the Lian Li SP750 fits the bill perfectly.
What Can I Say? I’m a Fan
Back to the Lian Li SP750 SFX PSU. When it comes to cooling and volume, this PSU is a marvel, for this it operates at a maximum of roughly 33dB(A). Plus, prior to hitting a 40% load, it will deliver power in utter silence. Oh yes, this PSU is equipped with a Silent 0RPM Mode, which will not activate the fan when running on a small load. Furthermore, even when in operation, the fan never exceeds 3000RPM. All in all, for a delightfully quiet power supply unit.
In addition, the fan itself is highly durable thanks to its hydraulic bearing. As a result, the fan’s allowed to operate with less friction than traditional bearings, reducing the risk of wear and tear.
In the simplest terms, this PSU was designed to efficiently feed your power-hungry gaming hardware whilst functioning as quietly as possible. Between the Silent 0RPM Mode and hydraulic bearings, you can enjoy premium performance with little disturbance to your gaming soundscape.
Looking Good
But wait, there’s more! Not satisfied with just manufacturing an ultra-efficient PSU, Lian Li have made the SP750 the perfect balance of form and function. Simplistic yet classic, the housing comprises of brushed aluminium finished in black. Like the little black dress, the Lian Li SP750 is sleek and sexy. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
Moreover, as an SFX power supply unit, the SP750 has a small footprint. Measuring in at only 100mm x 125mm x 63.5mm, this is truly the proof in the pudding that great things come in small packages.
What Are You Waiting For?
To sum up: the Lian Li SP750 SFX Power Supply Unit has it all. Modular configuration, sleek housing, Gold rated efficiency, and 750W of power for your gaming PC. Consequently, this absolutely is an excellent addition to any Mini-ITX PC, or a build wanting to maximise on airflow. This PSU delivers big power from a small footprint.
