The MIK C750B immediately impresses with its compact packaging and surprisingly light weight, comparable to 500W power supplies on the market. The box highlights the 80 Plus Bronze certification, indicating an 82% efficiency rating, a 3-year warranty, and the inclusion of a DC-to-DC converter for stable voltage output. The rear of the box details the power output specifications for each rail.

Design and Build Quality

Unboxing reveals a snug fit within the box, minimizing unnecessary packaging. Compared to similarly priced power supplies like the Corsair CX750F RGB, the MIK C750B opts for a more functional design, foregoing RGB lighting and modular cabling often found in mid-range systems. This minimalist approach likely contributes to its competitive price point. Despite the budget-conscious design, the cable quality is commendable, with the main cable braided and other cables featuring a flat ribbon design for easy cable management. The power supply itself features a robust black powder-coated steel chassis with orange decals displaying specifications.

A standard 120mm fan provides cooling, drawing air in from the outside and exhausting it through the back. Opening the unit reveals a clean and organized internal layout, simpler than some competitors. Key components include an Active PFC choke, synchronous rectification MOSFETs, and a DC-to-DC converter. High-quality Japanese capacitors are used throughout, ensuring reliable performance.

In practical testing, the MIK C750B successfully powered a demanding gaming system featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU and an AMD RX 7800 XT GPU at sustained boost clocks without voltage drops, proving its capability for mid-to-high-end gaming PCs.

Conclusion

The MIK C750B offers impressive value for its price. Its minimalist design prioritizes essential features and performance, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious gamers. If you’re looking for a reliable 750W power supply without breaking the bank after investing in core components like your CPU and GPU, the MIK C750B is a worthy contender.
