Cooler Master have been releasing some high grade quality power supplies in 2014 and have earned a solid reputation among the enthusiast user base. They work with a variety of OEM partners, bringing a wide range of supplies to market in various price zones.
Strangely, the V750 Semi Modular is not a Seasonic OEM partner product, like the Vseries 1000W which we reviewed last May. Enhance is the OEM partner for this particular unit and to be fair .. its a solid, reliable implementation. It doesn't quite scale to the same heights as a Seasonic, Delta or Flextronics design, but it is very capable.
The V750 Semi Modular is an important power supply for Cooler Master, because it is powerful enough to handle a reasonably high end dual GPU SLI or Crossfire system build, and hits the pricing ‘sweet spot' under £100.
The compact physical dimensions will suit a vast array of potential system builds, especially in the high end ‘media center' category – those people who want a small HD media system to sit beside a TV, but cram it with enough high end hardware to be able to power any modern Direct X 11 game at 1080p.
The biggest let down with this unit is the cabling. The mixture of flat ribbon style modular cables and traditional sleeved hardwired cables looks ugly and Cooler Master really should have reduced the number of hard wired cables. The quality of the sleeving on our review sample was also poor, with part of the sleeving stopping short of entering the chassis. This could very well be just an issue with our particular review sample, but we can only discuss what we have in hand.
Technically, the V750 Semi Modular performs well. Load regulation could have been a little better, but ripple suppression and efficiency both rate as excellent.
Right now you can buy the Cooler Master V750 Semi Modular power supply in the United Kingdom from Amazon, for around £92 inc vat. It certainly has no shortage of competition and just misses out on our MUST HAVE Award.

Pros:
- Ideal for a dual GPU SLI or Crossfire system.
- ripple suppression is excellent.
- excellent efficiency.
- High grade Japanese capacitors throughout.
- quite quiet.
Cons:
- Sleeving is poor.
- mixture of cable styles looks ugly.
- too many hard wired cables.
- stiff competition at the price.
- cable length not long enough for the biggest tower cases.
Kitguru says: A very capable power supply that deserves serious consideration. There is however no shortage of competition in the £90-£100 sector.
