Our Picks
Best Match for an RX 7900 XT1 of 6
be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 750W
be quiet!'s Pure Power 13 M 750W offers four PCIe 8-pin connectors plus a native 12V-2x6, and its fan switches off at low load.
Best for
- Most RX 7900 XT builds.
Skip if
- Pass if a published warranty matters; this one has none.
Why we like it
Cybenetics rates it Platinum. Its fan stops completely at low load, and one strong 12V rail handles GPU power spikes. LLC topology gives tight voltage regulation.
It is 80 Plus Gold with up to 94.3% efficiency and an ATX 3.1 design with a native 12V-2x6 connector. All 750W sit on a single 12V rail, which handles short GPU power spikes. It matches the be quiet! Pure Power 12 750W, the ASRock Phantom Gaming PG-750G, the MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 and the darkFlash DG750 on rated output (750W). No depth is rated for the be quiet!

How We Chose
Alex Morgan compared the manufacturer specifications, connectivity, warranty terms and compatibility of every pick. Figures come from the makers unless a third-party source is named; we did not test these products ourselves.
- The figures behind the order
- We lined up six power supplies on rated output, native 12V-2x6 cable count, 8-pin PCIe connector count and warranty from manufacturer specifications. We did not test them in-house, and 8-pin PCIe connector count and warranty are missing for at least one pick.
- The shared baseline
- All 6, from the be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 750W to the darkFlash DG750, state rated output, native 12V-2x6 cable count and 80 Plus rating and share Gold 80 Plus rating and Black colour.
- Where the specs have gaps
- The ASRock Phantom Gaming PG-750G, the MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5, the Rosewill VMG 850W and the darkFlash DG750 give no 8-pin PCIe connector count; the be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 750W and the be quiet! Pure Power 12 750W give no warranty.
- Price range
- From the darkFlash DG750 to the MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5, all sat in the $50 to $100 tier when we checked.
