Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 1000 Watt Fully Modular 80+ Platinum Power Supply Review

Thermaltake has one of the most impressive PSU line-ups on the the market today, offering high-end build-quality, performance, efficiency, and great aesthetics too. Their latest SFX power supply looks set to continue that trend too, delivering a massive 1000W of power in this smaller form factor is impressive. However, it also features 80 Plus Platinum efficiency, ATX 3.1 certifications, PCIe Gen5 12VHPWR, a fully modular design, and more.

Designed with 100% Japanese capacitors, all rated for up to 105c, and a DC-to-DC design, it’s no surprise this unit is able to deliver big on power and efficiency. Efficiency is always good, but even more so in SFX, as it means the PSU generates less heat, and I think that’s especially importing in the SFX form factor. Featuring a single 12v rail design, this PSU can output a massive 83.3A, so dealing with the massive power demands of flagship CPUs and GPUs should be a breeze.
