Looking for a high power PSU is important to fulfill today hardcore rigs but having a quality PSU is more important as it ensures the system's reliability and stability regardless of the loading. Thermaltake is one of the leading PSU vendors in consumer market and today we have a chance to take a look on their ToughPower Grand 850W which is not only a high performance PSU but also come with eye-catching design.
Thermaltake comes out swinging with its first digitally controlled power supply, the Toughpower DPS. Let's take a close look at how it performs.
The Thermaltake Toughpower DPS G 1050W Power Supply is outstanding! It is 80 Plus Gold certified, looks amazing, packs a quiet 140mm fan, has special monitoring software and comes with a 7 year warranty. This isn't your average PSU!
At first glance to most people power supply units may not seem to have advanced much compared to the ones we used to check almost a decade ago but in reality most of their interior components have, some just a bit and some quite a lot. Regardless of that however the same "principles" that applied even 10 years ago apply today (perhaps even more so due to the cost of multi-GPU setups) and so we always recommend using good quality power supply units to avoid any unpleasant issues for your hardware and of course to provide optimal stability (especially for overclocked systems). Now as many of you are well aware the safest and fastest way for consumers to "rate" a power supply unit is to check its 80 Plus efficiency certification and although the top of the line Titanium models offer the highest possible electricity savings currently and thus make use of the highest quality components they don't land far from the Platinum and Gold ones. The ToughPower DPS G 1050W model is one such 80 Plus Gold certified PSU and we have it with us today to see how it ranks in the market.
Most people know Thermaltake and their PC Cases and Power Supply Units. In this review

Unit with lot of power, NVIDIA SLI, AMD CrossFireX and a 80 Plus Gold Certification.
In this review we will be looking at the Toughpower Grand 1050w power supply from Thermaltake. The Toughpower Grand is a new design aimed at providing the highest efficiency while still delivering clean and reliable power to enthusiast and gaming systems.
As a hardware enthusiast, trade shows like CES and Computex showcase many new products that you can expect to see on the market either immediately or sometime after the show. As a hardware reviewer, these shows are even more insightful as it gives a pretty solid road map of what we will be working with over the next six months or so. We have already looked at products from OCZ, Cooler Master and SilverStone that we previewed at the show, just to name a few. Today that trend continues as we have Thermaltake's Toughpower Grand series power supply on the hotbed.
Thermaltake is a well known company and carries a good reputation as a high quality PSU manufacturer. Not too long ago we had a look at one of Thermaltake’s mainstream power supplies, the TR-2 800W unit. Today we are going to examine and review one of the company’s best products, the Toughpower Grand 1050W unit, a power supply aiming to satisfy the craving needs of hardcore enthusiasts. Let us have a closer look at it.
What is the first thing that comes to mind when I mention the words 'cake' and 'cheese'? Cheese that is melted on top of a cake? A cake made out of cheese? Or should I simply refer to it as a cheesecake? Recently, I have been reading Preston's Toughpower Grand 750W report, and thought to myself: What better way is there to start the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1200W review, than to plagiarize a few lines from the my colleague's article introduction earlier in March this year? Now obviously plagiarism and cheesecakes have nothing to do with a power supply we are reviewing today -- but before you click the little 'X' next to your browser's tab, let me ask you this question first before moving on further in this review: Would you buy an ugly looking cheesecake to munch down on, or an ugly plagiarized cake (Oh yes, cakes can be plagiarized) for that special someone? Probably not, and I believe nine out of ten people would agree also. In the world of computers, PC enthusiasts will go pretty far in obtaining hardware to make their system look pretty, and I have to admit that I am one of them. Not too long ago, I was checking my email, and it so happens Thermaltake dropped by with a note asking if I wanted to check out the Toughpower Grand 1200W. At first glance, it still has a simple, yet unique strip of red on a dark matte body with rounded corners; this no different than any other models in this product line. Knowing how awesome the 750W is with regards to its top notch build quality and simply class leading performance, without further thought, I told myself this is really the one to get if I desired awesomeness. But what and how much has changed under the hood in this kilowatt-plus monster? Keep reading to see what we have found!
Thermaltake bietet mittlerweile nahezu alles, was zum Betrieb eines Rechners benötigt wird, lassen wir die reine Hardware wie Mainboards, Grafikkarten, Prozessoren etc. mal außen vor. Während die Optik der Gehäuse nach wie vor eine Geschmackssache ist, so hat sich die Qualität deutlich gesteigert. Dass dies auch bei anderen Produktgruppen der Fall ist zeigten schon diverse Tests, auch bei unseren Kollegen. Aber gerade bei den Netzteilen bietet Thermaltake zudem einige echte Highlights an, so man den Werbeversprechen glauben schenkt. Die Toughpower-Grand-Serie bietet eine hohe Effizienz, einen leisen Betrieb und zudem noch unzählige Anschlüsse, in fünf Leistungsstufen von 650 bis 1.200 Watt sind die Netzteile erhältlich. Das kleinste Modell, die 650-Watt-Variante, wurde uns von Thermalright zur Verfügung gestellt. Ob es die vollmundigen Versprechen halten kann, klären wir in diesem Review.
