The Thermaltake unit is encased in steel with a rather unusual murky, glossy brown paint … it measures 160mm which means it will prove no issue fitting into the majority of cases.
The colour of the unit raised a heated debate in our offices with a 50/50 split vote on loving/hating it. I think it looks alright, but matt black would be my choice.
The rear has a large vent to extract hot air outside the chassis and a simple power on/off rocker switch.
The front of the PSU features a series of 8 connections, split into 4×4 black and 4×4 red (Red is for PCI-E Cables and Black is for peripherals).
Earlier versions of this PSU didn't have fully sleeved cables entering the case (above) which looked quite unattractive.
Seemingly we had a newer revision as they were sleeved all the way in (see image directly above).
The unit comprises a ATX20/24 pin fixed cable and one ATX 12V/EPS12V 4 pin and 8 pin. Thermaltake also include 2x PCI Express 6 pin, 2x PCI Express 8 pin, 6 x Molex, 1 x FDD, 8 X Serial ATA.
Hey, I bought one of these two weeks ago ! thankfully its not crap 🙂
Great review, I agree also on the noise, its really quiet and I have a pretty powerful system
I never understand half of the results in a PSU review, but it looks good. Its quite cheap which is surprising. normally we pay through the teeth for good products like this.
I love PSUs with single rails on 12v, they always perform so well. thorough review, thanks.
It seems out of stock in Europe in most places, high demand or limited availability?
The nearest competition to this is the Corsair unit and its considerably more expensive. this seems somewhat of a bargain side by side with it.
Just an update from my post last night – just ordered one for my new build. Hope its as good as you say.
We’re going to pull in the Corsair 750 HX for comparison at some stage. For now, on paper, it seems to perform remarkably similar – but for a lot less money.
