Pricing
The street price of AUD$109-$118 is more than reasonable. When you consider that the similar Corsair CX-750 Modular 80PLUS Bronze has a street price of $135, the difference is going to be enough for many to really take a second look at the Fractal Design offering based on price alone.
Final Thoughts
Working with the Integra M was easy and it’s a very practical unit to include in a build. Cable management is helped by the flat cables and semi modular nature of the Integra M. When it comes to power supplies, I won’t buy or use a non-modular unit because I don’t want to have to route cables that I’m not using. At 750W, there is no real sacrifice of output capacity in selecting a 140mm power supply so the question becomes “Why do you need a standard size power supply?”.
The 750W model turned out to be overkill in our builds despite them both being higher end systems, but it still allows for expansion later. The Integra M 750W remained quiet and powered our builds without any issues at all, taking SLI in its stride. At ~$110 it’s hard to go past this power supply and we like to see some healthy competition for our hard earned cash.
If you are building in a small form factor case, look around for a retailer/e-tailer that stocks the Integra M series and consider it for your parts list. We liked it and you can expect to see this used regularly powering future test systems and concept builds.
