Very Impressed

2008-04-29
Second high-end PSU I've owned (prior was Enermax Galaxy 1000W). Once you get to the top-end, I think the features/aesthetics are probably more important than one actually functioning much better than the others. This one has many similar features to the Enermax but also has 8-pin PCI-E which is why I purchased it (my older model Enermax did not, although the newer model Enermax has it). I went with this one for high quality and positive reviews all around, and the available Amazon Prime shipping. I like the efficiency and modular cable design. It also is a little shorter than the Galaxy while being +200W. But, since I'm only going to be adding more components, it seems more power is better. Very quiet, as all PSU's at this price point are. Cables are plenty long enough for my Antec 900 case. Hopefully this will be a long-term PSU that will make it through several computer upgrades. A plus is the longer warranty than the Enermax has.

beastly

It had burned 3 sources to be able, this ended the problems, the best thing if you have double processors or quadcore

Died after 30 minutes

Psu died after 30 minutes of use and I had to return it, waste of time for me. I suppose it might be a good product still and that I had 'bad luck', but surely with a product in this price class you should be able to have certain expectations... Replaced it with a 1000W Antec from the local CompUSA for about the same amount of $, that unit has been running flawlessly.

It's A Beast

This thing is BIG. Make sure your configuration has ample room for this big boy. I put it in a Thermaltake Armor LCS full-tower case and had to remove the top exhaust fan to make room for it.

Modular power supply is the way to go. No more ugly, bundled up, unused cables clogging up the case. I just wish the atx and cpu power cables were modular too. Those cables are hard-wired to the PSU. No big deal though.

Thermaltake is a name you can trust. These guys make quality products. I also use their PC cases, water cooling products, and fans in addition to their power supplies. I have never had a problem with a Thermaltake PSU and I have owned 4 of them. Always reliable.

This thing is surprisingly quiet considering it's size. I have some extremely quiet case fans installed and they are louder than the PSU.

This unit is powering an Asus P5K3 mobo, 2GB DDR3 PC10666 RAM, core2duo E6850 processor, HIS Radeon HD 2900XT 1GB DDR4, X-fi Elite Pro sound, 2x WD Raptor X 150GB, Lite-On DVD Burner, Thermaltake water pump, Zalman Fan Controller, and a load of fans and lights. TONS of power left over. Will be upgrading to crossfire setup w/ dual Radeon HD 2900 XT's in the future. This PSU will handle anything you can throw at it with plenty of voltage to spare.

Great PSU. I have no regrets and I don't see any cons to getting this product. The price is pretty steep, but you gotta figure this is the biggest baddest PSU on the market and it will keep up with PC advancements for quite a while.

A must have!

This is simply the best power supply you can get for your PC.
It's powerful, reliable and delivers what it promises, even under the hardest conditions.
Some people say you don't need it, but I disagree.
In fact, 700W should be enough if you are running a usual Core 2 Duo SLI system, but usual 700W PS just don't have enough power cables for the system, even if you take a 620W Corsair!
If you're building a US$4,000 or more system, it makes no sense to take chances on the PS just to save US$100.
If you're system is less ambitious, consider buying it anyway, for you would be hedged for the next couple of years.
