Environmental Factors: Little concern for the environment was given when designing the packaging for this unit with the use of foam, bubble wrap, unnecessary cardboard box for the power chord and bag for the modular cables. Why cant manufacturers bas...

Thermaltake misses a recommendation by just a wee bit for handing in a power supply that performs spectacularly well but is brought down somewhat by a high price and not so good aesthetics. As it stands now, you can't go wrong buying one of these as lo...

The ThermalTake Toughpower is certainly tough. I was impressed when the Corsair tx750 was able to supply sufficient power to my power-hungry system Imagine my face when nVidias drivers didnt warn me of insufficient power when I installed the Toughpo...

With four independent 12V rails providing stable power, it is a fine choice for an overclocked rig. The 140mm Qfan does it job as well with its nearly silent operation even when under heavy load. In fact, this is the quietest PSU Ive worked with that...

We like this PSU, but only to a certain extent – its certainly a solidly built unit with awesome efficiency and its virtually silent for just about everyone that will buy this kind of unit. The modular connectors work well, however the cable choices...
