This power supply from XFX is a fantastic addition to any system with enough juice to power even the most extreme gaming rigs at a continuous stream of 750 watts. Instead of having multiple 12V rails, they have decided to use a single 12v rail with extremely stable outputs.
In my relatively short-lived career as a hardware reviewer I have come across a lot of brand names making (or sometimes rebadging) a lot of different products at numerous price points and market segments. Yet Thortech are a brand that I personally haven't come across before, except briefly in one video which I saw on YouTube that absolutely tore into one of their PSUs - rightly or wrongly is not something I am prepared to comment on as I don't know all the ins and outs. Thortech are actually a division of the brand "GeIL" or Golden Emperor International Limited best known for making RAM modules. They have been in the business of making consumer power supplies for only a short while, just over 2 years as far as I know, and in that time they haven't really managed to gain much traction in the consumer market place. Despite that GeIL has been making industrial power supplies for around 15 years so is certainly no stranger to the world of power supplies - which gives us great hope for the quality of their products. Today we are looking at one of Thortech's largest wattage power supplies - the Thunderbolt 1200W.
If we just sit back and consider this product's credentials then it actually has a lot going for it. Firstly, it provides a large amount of power (1200W) at a very high efficiency level (80 Plus Gold). Secondly, it does this in a relatively compact form factor for a PSU of its wattage, looking more like the size we'd expect to see a 650-850W PSU in. Thirdly it offers up a semi modular design and is reasonably attractive - especially if you like hints of yellow. It is worth noting that this power supplies, while still current and sold, is actually kind-of dated. In fact we received this review sample well over 18 months ago, sadly right before our PSU load tester blew up. Now we are up and running again with PSU reviews we are finally able to test it so without any further ado let us proceed with this review to see if the Thortech Thunderbolt 1200W PSU is any good or not.
Mit seiner "Germany Series" geht Thermaltake unter deutschen Netzteilkäufern auf Kundenfang. Die Geräte heißen Munich, Hamburg und Berlin, wobei typische Gebäudesilhouetten der jeweiligen Stadt das Netzteil zieren. Doch was steckt unter dem Blech? Wir haben das Top-Modell Berlin 630W getestet.
Um eines vorwegzunehmen: Die "Germany Series" ist weder "made in Germany" noch bieten die Geräte technische Innovationen. Thermaltake versucht hier vielmehr über den Preis zu punkten, ohne ein wirklich billiges Produkt abzuliefern. Der Hersteller verspricht stattdessen ein preiswertes Gerät, also ein Netzteil, das seinen Preis auch tatsächlich wert ist. Beim Berlin 630W bedeutet dies 630 Watt Dauerlast, 80 Plus Zertifizierung und 3 Jahre Garantie.

We take a look at our first mid-range PSU from be quiet! You'll certainly want to read this if you're considering the Power Zone 850.
The Aerocool E85M-550 is a 550 W power supply with a modular cabling system, and the manufacturer promises 85% efficiency. Let’s see if this is a good product.
The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 760 W is a relabeled Seasonic S12D 750 W unit, but with a rear 80 mm fan instead of using 120 mm model and a single +12 V rail instead of two +12 V rails. Its highlights include the use of a DC-DC design, 80 Plus Silver certification, and 836 W peak wattage. Let's check it out.
Zu den eher seltenen Gästen bei unseren Netzteiltests gehörte bis jetzt sicherlich Antec. Nun haben gleich drei verschiedene Modelle den Weg in die Testabteilung gefunden. Den Anfang macht das True Power 550 (Modell TP550) mit einer Ausgangsleistung von 550W. Innerhalb dieser neu überarbeiteten Serie sind außerdem die Ausgangsleistungen 650W und 750W erhältlich.
SilverStone Element power supply series is being out for some years now, and we were curious to review their popular 500 W model, ST50EF-Plus. It is important to know that models from SilverStone Element series can be manufactured by two distinct companies: models up to 600 W are manufactured by Enhance Electronics, while models starting at 650 W are manufactured by Seventeam. SilverStone uses a lot of different manufacturers for their power supplies. Besides Enhance and Seventeam, units from their Decathlon series are manufactured by Impervio and units from their Strider series are manufactured by FSP. Phew!
EVGA recently released new power supplies in their SuperNova GS range and today we take a look at the 650 watt unit. This unit is 80 Plus Gold Certified and is a pure modular design. EVGA state that the components inside are high grade Japanese branded – to ensure long term stability and high performance. At only £76.99 inc vat, is this the mid range power supply you should be shortlisting for a new system build?
