In The Labs

The 700w Toughpower had no problem running the MaXit Monsta at speeds up to 3.8Ghz. The system included a pair of Western Digital raptors, two 500GB hard disks running in raid 1, Leadtek 7900GTX overclocked to 725/940 on the core and memory, X-Fi soundcard, a dvd writer and high performance Danger Den watercooling kit. A pretty extreme, fully loaded system by any standards. The latest version of Orthos Prime for multi-threaded processors was used to provide some stress while normal activities such as surfing and photoshop were carried out. A multimeter was used to measure the readings on each rail.

How did the Thermaltake Toughpower fair under these conditions. Impeccably. Idle or full load made no difference to the readings. They were absolutely rock solid throughout testing. The power supply remained quiet under full loading no doubt thanks to the 14cm fan. While the 12v rail was not as generous in headroom as some power supplies we have tested, it never budged no matter what we threw at it. This really is about as good as it gets. The toughpower coped with efficiency and rock solid stability. A perfect choice for even the most demanding overclocker or fully loaded system.

The Bottom Line

Only one word is needed to sum up the Thermaltake Toughpower psu. WOW!. The best power supply on the planet? We think so. Superb packaging, awesome specs and finish make this a winner. In fact the only thing we could find to fault on this power supply was the stingy one year manufacturers warranty offered by Thermaltake. Otherwise we'd have given it a perfect ten score.

At under £80, or less if you shop around, it represents fantastic value for money. This power supply would probably last you a lifetime or at least 120,000 hours of use!

You'd be hard pressed to find a better power supply that offers as much as the Toughpower. In fact you'd be bonkas not to buy one. Well done Thermaltake!
