Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 1000W Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage

Given that this particular Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 is rated to 1000 watts of power output, we would expect that, for the vast majority of you, this wouldn’t just easily cover the needs of all your components, but would also allow for an exceptionally strong level of overhead. A factor that would undoubtedly be good for those of you who enjoy dabbling in the realms of overclocking. – When things are pushed beyond those rated amounts, however, it is important to know that protections are in place to shut your system down before any risk any damage to your components (or PSU itself).

So, in regards to the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 1000W, we can happily confirm that the OPP worked perfectly. Not before, however, the PSU was able to achieve a maximum wattage output of a huge 1,684. – Given that this is around 60% above its rated value, this is exceptionally impressive, and, if we’re being honest, much higher than we expected to see this PSU go. – Based on the officially rated value, this OPP score is undoubtedly one of the biggest comparative gaps we’ve seen for quite some time!
