If you’re in the market to build a new computer, one of the most important components is the power supply. Every enthusiast is looking to strike a balance - you don’t want to overspend on a high-end PSU that sits around twiddling its thumbs when you could have allocated that money to a different upgrade, like more RAM or a better GPU. Then again, you don’t want a low-end unit that causes instability, or worse, damages your components by failing prematurely.

Granted, the power supply market is not only volatile, but complicated. Big name brands like Corsair and Seasonic are trusted, but their prices make you think twice. The global economy has some impact on the pricing too, as we’re all aware, power supplies are all made overseas. As a result, economic policies can make drastic changes to pricing in short order for most PC components.
Rosewill recently made a re-entry to the PC power supply market after several years of no new product releases. Rosewill is a Newegg brand, which brings some things into question. What kind of longevity will the power supply have? Is it just as capable as a unit from a bigger name brand in this space? What about warranty?
Rosewill did not provide this unit for review, it was purchased outright. Here on the back of the box, it shows the connectors and cables included: (1) Main 24-pin ATX connector, (2) 8-pin EPS connectors for CPU power, (3) 6+2-pin PCIe connectors, (1) 12+4 pin PCIe connector, (2) SATA power cables with 4 connectors each, and (1) Molex power cable with 4 connectors. Funny enough, under Specfications (sic), we see the power supply is 80 PLUS GLOD(sic) Certified. I chalk this up to whatever factory made these overseas…
In the box, we get an extra PSU sticker (more on this later), a quick installation guide, a traditional 110V PC power cable, an accessory bag containing 5 zip ties and 4 case screws, and the modular cables. The power supply is cooled by a 120mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan - this should last a long time. However, it’s not a zero-RPM fan, it runs the entire time the computer is on.
Rosewill advertises that the 12V-2x6 connector is “Vibrant Orange,” but in a baffling move, their marketing material shows a black connector with yellow tips. The unit we received had a 12V-2x6 cable with a fully orange end on one side - not just the tips. MSI has used a black connector with yellow tips on some of its power supplies to make it obvious when the connection is not fully seated yet; while Rosewill’s marketing material makes it seem like that was the goal, but the orange connector really just ensures you’re plugging it in the right place.
The included modular cables are flat, which works very well for cable managing in tight spaces. All cables were accounted for. They’re all labeled on the side with “59…” at least it doesn’t say 67. Each one is clearly marked showing what type of plug it is, this is par for the course.
Our test system used a Core Ultra 7 265KF and RTX 5060 TI, and we built it into a case that’s typically tough on cable management - an ASUS TUF GT301. This is a mini tower for full ATX motherboards with precious little room behind the motherboard tray for cable management. Due to the flat cables, management was a breeze.
What we found kind of cool was, the way this PSU installs into this case, the PSU label typically faces the case’s PSU shroud and isn’t visible, so we applied the extra sticker to the visible side of the PSU. This way, it’s easy to identify in the future.

Key takeaways
This segment of the market is highly competitive with several alternative options. As of this writing, Rosewill’s VMG750 power supply is marked on Newegg’s website as $69.99 with free shipping, which is a sale price from its normal $79.99. For a 750W 80 Plus Gold rated power supply that seems fairly competitive. Some major competitors include:
The Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 V3 which is MSRP 99.99, currently on sale for 79.99, but with a 10 year warranty.
The MONTECH CENTURY II Gold 850 ATX3 holds an MSRP of 89.99, currently on sale for 82.90 - this holds a 10-year warranty and a higher 850W rated output. This unit also carries Cybenetics Platinum certification.
The competition in this space is fierce. If you’re hard stuck on getting a fully modular, Gold rated PSU with native PCIe5.1 cabling, the Rosewill VMG750 is a solid option for an RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti based system. The 5-year warranty is half that of the competitors - 5 years is still a fairly long time to keep one power supply due to how they degrade in capability over time.
Overall, we give the Rosewill VMG750 a B-. At its official price of 79.99, it’s too close to other offerings. On sale for 69.99, it’s a great price for a PSU that’s capable of powering RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, and any Radeon. What are your thoughts? Leave a comment down below. Thanks for reading!
