Thermaltake ToughPower GF3 1350W Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage

While this particular Thermaltake ToughPower GF3 is rated to 1350W of power output, it’s never unusual to see any PSU capable of going notably beyond that point. This is, of course, never recommended and you should always buy a power supply suitable for the needs of your components. What is particularly important, however, is that if things are getting pushed too far, the PSU protections kick into place to prevent any potential damage to your system or components.

So, with this in mind, how did the Thermaltake ToughPower GF3 do? Well, achieving a score of 1,716 watts, we can not only confirm that the OPP worked entirely as it should, but this PSU was capable of achieving 27% above its rated wattage output before these protections were deemed necessary. – Overall, this is plenty of wiggle room for added safety for the user.
