We have had mixed experiences with Thermaltake power supplies in the past. A few of them have delivered excellent results while others have left us disappointed. Today we are looking at the Smart M 750W power supply, a modular unit with 80 Plus Bronze Certification. Thermaltake claim the design can deliver 750W continuously at 40c, and they have opted to use high grade Japanese capacitors throughout for enhanced reliability.
The Thermaltake Smart M Series 750W is a single +12V rail design, a firm favourite with the enthusiast audience today. The company are using solid state capacitors and the minor rails are rectified by two DC-DC convertors.

Thats a nice power supply, well priced too.
Interesting to read about the warranty periods, never really thought about it, but its important. How do Thermaltake warranty their products. do you go directly back to the store, or deal with an RMA via them?
No warranty support from Thermaltake. 5 emails over 5 weeks, no reply.
