Verdict

be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 750W

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid 750W Gold-rated ATX unit for a popular RTX 4070 Ti / RTX 5070-class gaming build, held back only by the usual mid-tier compromises on cabling and OEM sourcing.

Corsair AX1600i

9 / 10 Expert Rating

Still the digital-monitoring benchmark for extreme multi-GPU and workstation builds, docked slightly for lacking a native 12V-2x6 connector.
