Baseus is offering a limited-time discount on its Spacemate RD1 Plus Docking Station through Amazon, cutting $110 off the price with a promo code. The 14-in-1 USB-C dock supports dual 4K displays at 60Hz or a single 4K display at 120Hz on compatible Windows machines, and includes a built-in 120W GaN power supply plus a status display.
A Tom's Hardware reader, Anthony DeMarco, says the 12V-2x6 power connector on his $5,245 Digital Storm Corsa prebuilt melted weeks after he began using it, despite the PC having sat boxed and unused for roughly a year after purchase. The system, built around an Nvidia RTX 5090 and a 1,000-watt Digital Storm power supply, reportedly suffered the worst damage at the PSU itself, with cables fused into the connector.
Tom's Hardware reviewed Gigabyte's Gaming 1000GM PG5 1000W power supply, built by OEM HEC, finding it achieves Platinum-level efficiency despite carrying only a Gold badge. The unit uses all-Japanese capacitors, a 135mm fluid dynamic bearing fan, and includes T-Guard, a thermal monitoring feature for its native 12V-2x6 connector that can cut power if overheating is detected. It ships with a ten-year warranty and costs $170.
Tom's Hardware's review of the Gamemax RGB PRO 750G, a 750W ATX 3.1/PCIe 5.1 modular power supply, found 90.8% average efficiency at 230 VAC and good ripple performance from its Sohoo-made platform. However, at $105 it costs more than comparable units like the MSI MAG A750GL and Corsair RM750e, despite offering what the review calls a mediocre overall package aside from its RGB lighting.
Tom's Hardware tested AZZA's PSAZ-750G, a $78 750W power supply built on a Helly platform and marketed with an 80 PLUS Gold logo, an ATX 3.1 rating and a native 12V-2x6 connector. The review found the unit's efficiency fell just short of actual Gold-tier performance at half load, and the Gold badge is not backed by any official certification. It also ships with hardwired cables and a 12V-2x6 connector limited to 450W despite the unit's 750W rating.
Tom's Hardware tested the Thermalright TR-KG750, a 750W ATX 3.1 power supply built for Thermalright by OEM manufacturer HKC. The unit squeaks past 80 PLUS Gold certification at 115 VAC, lacks any Cybenetics efficiency or noise rating, uses mostly unbranded internal components, and pairs mediocre voltage regulation and ripple suppression with a sleeve-bearing fan that runs constantly and gets loud under load.
AI training campuses can swing 70% of their electrical load within milliseconds and disconnect just as abruptly to protect expensive compute hardware, a pattern conventional grid infrastructure was never designed to handle. Analysis of the setup shows the standard power stack—medium-voltage feeds, transformers, and uninterruptible power supplies—fails at three points: undersized battery buffers, converters run in bypass mode that let raw swings and grid transients pass unfiltered, and protection logic built for far smaller loads that trips offline at the worst possible moment. The 2024 Virginia grid disturbance was traced largely to this outdated protection logic disconnecting under stress.
Tom's Hardware reviewed the Phanteks AMP GH 750W, a Helly Technology-built power supply that replaces the Seasonic-based AMP line. The unit delivers strong 12V voltage regulation, low ripple, Japanese capacitors and an 8-year warranty, but its 12V-2x6 connector is limited to 450W of output. Despite that restriction, the reviewer calls it one of the better mainstream 750W options given street prices under $90.
Tom's Hardware reviewed FSP's self-designed Mega GM 1200W power supply, finding efficiency that performs like Platinum tier even though it's only Gold-certified, top-tier Cybenetics acoustic scores, and all-Japanese capacitors. The unit ships with native 600W 12V-2x6 output, a compact chassis, a robust protection suite, and a ten-year warranty, priced around $229.
