Thermalright TR-KG750 750W power supply review: HKC-built KG unit with a Thermalright badge for $91
Thermalright's HKC-built KG series brings ATX 3.1, a native 12V-2x6 connector and a five-year warranty at a low price point, with the compromises visible inside.
Thermalright, a company known for its CPU coolers, has entered the power supply market with the TR-KG750 750W unit. Hailing from Taipei, the company spent two decades building a reputation on air coolers before expanding into various other products, including power supplies. The TR-KG750 is an entry-level unit in Thermalright's KG series, offering a 750W power output and a value-oriented price point of $91.
The TR-KG750 boasts current specifications, including ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliance, full modularity, and 80 PLUS Gold certification at 115 VAC. It features a 120 mm fan housed in a 140 mm-deep chassis and a five-year warranty. The power supply is manufactured by Somore Tech Co., Ltd., with production credited to Jiushouyangguang Power Supply (Shenzhen). The internal designation, HKCMAX-750, indicates that it is an HKC platform, with the design dating to April 2023.
At $91, the TR-KG750 is competitively priced, undercutting most name-brand 750W Gold units on the US market. This price point reflects the unit's focus on offering a budget-friendly option without sacrificing essential features. The power supply's packaging is minimal, containing only the user's guide, AC power cord, mounting screws, and four zip ties.
The cables are all-black flat ribbons, contributing to the unit's clean aesthetic. While the price suggests a modest build quality, the steel gauge is adequate, and nothing rattles. The cooling is handled by a 120 mm Yate Loon D12SH-12 fan, which, although economical, is known for its quiet operation.
