Rosewill Fortress 750Watt 80PLUS Platinum ATX Power Supply Review

It was just a few years ago that the most extreme computers sucked the life out of 1000 or even 1500 watt power supplies. While a few of those PSUs are still around, we’ve noticed a shift in the power supply paradigm the last year or so where more money is spent designing greater efficiency and implementing better components versus stretching out the wattage. Perhaps it’s due to the fact that most processors, motherboards, and video cards consume less power today. Efficiency, low power and quality components are very good features to offer consumers which means power supplies like the Rosewill Fortress 750 Platinum have a place. But first, let’s see how it performs in our review.
