Fractal Design Integra R2 750W Power Supply Review

Fractal Design Integra R2 750W PSU Review Introduction

A little while ago we had our first encounter with Fractal Designs power supply units, in our review of the Tesla R2 650W. The 80Plus Gold certified Tesla R2 proved to be a formidable adversary for the competition; however, the retail price is placing it out of the reach of most mainstream users. Today we will be having a look at the most powerful PSU of the Integra series, the 80Plus Bronze certified series of Fractal Design, the Integra R2 750W.

The Integra R2 750W is visually very similar to the Tesla R2 650W which we have already reviewed. However, it is less efficient, has fewer features and, even though it is more powerful, the 750W version currently retails for $89.99 incl. shipping. The 650W version retails for $20 less, at $69.99 incl. shipping, which is nearly half the price of the equivalent Tesla R2 650W model that currently retails for $112.90 shipped. Fractal Design created this power supply series for medium-performance gaming computers and workstations with entry-level price points. The value of the Integra R2 series is undeniably much higher but how much performance has been sacrificed in the process? We will find out in this review.
