The 1st Player Steampunk PS-750SP doesn't look to be available in the US yet. I wasn't able to spot it in any of the major online stores, so I had to convert its price to US dollars for an estimation of how much it could cost without Trump's tariffs. That having been said, this product is made in China, so its price will be affected by these tariffs, which is also probably why it currently isn't available in the US.

I am always thrilled to check on new designs, so this review was an interesting one. This is a clean platform with ample airflow and high efficiency at all load levels. However, the hold-up time is very low, and with a properly sized bulk cap capable of offering a hold-up time of over 17 ms, efficiency would take a hit.

Soldering quality is satisfactory, but I am not fond of the electrolytic caps and the cooling fan 1st Player used. Both are cheap parts with a relatively short lifetime, which makes the seven-year warranty quite surprising. The sleeve bearing fan and ChengX electrolytic caps won't survive seven years, especially under subpar conditions (>30 °C operating temperatures). Thankfully, the bulk cap is a high-quality Rubycon, although its capacity is too low.

Overall performance of the Steampunk PS-750SP is not high enough to pose a threat to popular models of similar capacity, like the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, Asus ROG Strix 750 W, EVGA 750 G3/5, and Corsair RM and RMx units. The latter even register over 8% more overall performance than the PS-750SP and are supported by a ten-year warranty. I would pay $10 more to get a product with a proven track record of reliability and support instead of just getting a decently performing PSU that uses low-quality caps and a sleeve bearing fan. In power supplies, the two most important parts are the capacitors and the cooling fan. If either fails, it takes the other parts with it unless you notice the fan's failure and replace it before the other parts overheat for prolonged periods and eventually fail. 1st Player is very confident when it comes to the long-term reliability of their PSU as it does come with a seven-year warranty, but as I can't yet possibly know their level of support, I am skeptical.

With better critical parts, the Steampunk PS-750SP would be much more appealing, also as it uses an interesting design and soldering quality is decent with the exception of two solder joints that lack a bit of material. It is always nice to see new products, and reviews like these are an excellent opportunity for users and unknown brands alike, as such reviews check on how these new products fair against popular offerings in a public setting.
