IntroductionIt's time to take a look at a 1200W PSU from Thermaltake, we are going to look at their biggest PSU from the Toughpower series. This PSU has four 12V rails from 20A and up so there is alot of power to be used, the question is how stable all the rails are and how loud this thing actually will be? I can only imagine how hot this thing actually will be after awhile of gaming or using the computer at load. About Thermaltake: With the company's initial launch of Orb coolers, it created waves of shocks and appraisals throughout the gaming and overclocking communities. Thermaltake quickly became the name gamers turn to when they need high-end and reliable thermal solutions. With company's core business of CPU cooling still growing at a vast rate, Thermaltake made another grand entry to the PC chassis industry. To date, Thermaltake has always been considered as the pioneering company that revolutionized the PC chassis industry with Xaser series enclosures. The typical and traditional beige and plastic front panel design was outdone by Xaser series chassis's atypical gaming red and aluminum front panel. It was also the first enclosure available to public with Hardcano unti which provided users full control over computer's thermal management system. In the year 2002, Thermaltake announced Purepower line of power supply unti for the ever-growing power-hungry PCs. Purepower series PSU quickly gained recognition with its extensive warranty and high-reliability guaranty. Today, Thermaltake has grown into a world-class company with state-of-the-art testing and R&D facility based in Taiwan along with 60+ engineers and ID team covering each application segment such as Liquid Cooling, Air Cooling, PC Enclosure and Power Supply for main-stream users, high-end solutions, system integrators and industrial applications; thus achieve Thermaltake's company motto, " COOLall YOUR LIFE " ! Features: - Power Good Signal 100-500 ms The product:
If we look at the box we can see that there is a big picture of the unit itself. The box is twice the size of a normal PSU box and on the box you can also read about some of the features that this PSU holds. Inside on the top of everything I found a warranty slip along with a small manual.
Inside there is a small bag or I guess you could even call it a pouch with the modular cables. The chassis of the PSU is actually a bit bigger than a normal one. I don't think it will give you any problems though even if you have a miditower case.
The back has a ventilaton grill to increace cooling on the unit. You also got the power plugin and a big On/Off switch, the bottom is equipped with a fan grill to prevent cables and your fingers from going into the big 140 mm fan.
