The ATX 3.0 PSU standard has been here since last year and while PCI-SIG has released the new ATX 3.1 specifications, the good thing is that they will be compatible with the existing designs. As such, we thought about giving you a tour of the brand-new Seasonic Focus GX ATX 3.0 PSU series that comes with a solid design and is designed for the PC masses.

The Seasonic Focus GX ATX 3.0 series power supplies were unveiled during Computex 2023 and are now available worldwide. Continuing on the tradition of the GX series, these PSUs aim to deliver the best value for money with designs that are top quality. The GX series PSU lineup ranges from 750W and up to 1000W, featuring enough power for the most demanding graphics card and CPUs out in the market.

Coming to the specifications, the Seasonic Focus GX-750 80 Plus Gold PSU offers a maximum DC output of 750 Watts. The PSU is fully compliant with Intel's C6 & C7 power states and has an operating temp of 0-50C with a life expectancy of 50,000 hours at 40C.

Some main features of the Seasonic Focus GX series include:

The Seasonic Focus GX-750 ATX 3.0 PSU comes in a large yellow and black colored package with a list of features on the front along with "10 Years Warranty" and "80-Plus Gold" labels.

The back side also offers a list of features which we have detailed above. The primary focus in on highlighting the efficiency of this PSU.

Opening the package reveals the PSU itself, along with a pouch that includes all the cables connectors, and manuals.

The PSU itself is packaged inside a cloth which is secured between two pieces of foam.

This is a 140mm chassis which makes it really small and easier to manage within crammed-up PC cases. The exact dimensions of the PSU are 140x150x86mm.

Keeping the design simple, we get the power-in plug and the power on/off switch at the back. The large exhaust vents are also here to push hot air out of the PSU chassis.

Now depending on how you use the PSU, the bottom panel reads the specifications and power ratings. The PSU is rated to output a maximum of 70.8A and 850W through the 12V rails.

The sides of the PSU have the XPG Core Reactor II labels.

Coming to the connectors, there are 1 PCIe 12+4 (12VHPWR), four PCI-e 6+2-pin connectors, an ATX 24-pin (14+10 pin) connector, and four 6-pin peripheral connectors.

The cables within the packaging pouch include the ATX 20+4 pin, a Gen5 connector, two CPU 8-pin connectors, 3 single-connector PCIe cables, two standard and a single SATA 3.3V cable with 4 & 2 connectors (respectively) & a single Molex cable with 3 connectors. The PCIe gen 5 cable is 750mm and should be enough to reach the GPU without bending too much.

Lastly, we have the 135mm fan which has various profiles. These include Fanless mode, Silent mode, and Cooling mode which have specifically been optimized and tuned by Seasonic.

The Seasonic Focus GX line of PSUs is now available in the latest ATX 3.0 standard which means that they are perfect for new PC builders, plus they are also backed by a 10-year warranty. These newer PSUs are also delivering top-notch quality which the Focus series excels within. Seasonic's multiple fan-modes and 80 Plus Gold rating ensure that your PC components get stable power.
