Seventeam V-Force ST-750P-AF PSU review

Page 2 - Closer look

Seventeam V-Force ST-750P-AF comes in somewhat plain gray box that's larger (presumably offering better protection) than the PSU. On it is present all the information one should need - pictures, specifications, certificates, information about the connectors and so on:

Upon opening the box besides the not too well packed PSU we were greeted by a hitchhiker - in the form of a fat Taiwanese cockroach. It tried to escape the light but we gave it the boot. To the head. Repeatedly, just like that:

Boot to the head!!!

Bottom line is that the PSU, though not in shiny box or fancy package is sufficiently protected. Its bundle, besides the cockroach contains manual, few screws and power cable:

And now for the PSU itself. It is done entirely in black matt and the fan grill bears the Seventeam logo. Its design is stylish and the matt finish we believe would be quite pleasing in the eyes of those of you enjoying not shiny finishes:

There are lots of stickers placed all around, like the warranty one near the fan and the hi-pot and quality control ones on the side. The back is pretty clean though only the power connector and master circuit braker:

The left side wields a sticker with all the characteristics of the PSU, nice touch with it is the fact that it comes off rather easily, should you chose to do remove it:

The top bears a sticker with some hieroglyphs and a clear and familiar "ОК". As you can see there are lots of cooling opening all over the PSU body

As you have undoubtedly noticed by now, not only the PSU is non-modular, but its cables are not sleeved (with the exception of the 24 pin АТХ cable):

There are 4 PCI-E single cables, each of them being 6+2 pin:

Interesting is that the CPU power cable has two connectors- one 8 pin and one 4 pin. Yes, its nice that they are on one cable, but having two separate ones is rather unnecessary , a combo of 2 х 4 would have been just fine.

There are two cables, each supporting up to 3 SATA devices:

And finally, molex connectors for additional devices:

And speaking of cables - time for the boring, yet informative charts:

Types and quantities of connectors of Seventeam V-Force ST-750P-AF:

Yep, not only cables are non-modular, but there might not be enough of them eitherо. True, rarely are all of the 6 SATA or molex 6 peripheral connectors used, but it is not beyond the realm of possibility that at some point they might just not be enough, this is after all a PSU with a serious rating, supposedly good enough for some heavy-duty systems.

And now for a peak inside:

Chinese capacitors, large coolers, lots of free space for the cooling air flow, etc.

Very nice touch is that everything has detachable connectors, thus allowing disassembly to modules quite easy. And here is a shot of the bottom of the PCB revealing the soldering quality:
