Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 850W 80+ Gold Smart Zero 256-Color RGB Fan Fully Modular Power Supply 10 Yr Warranty PS-TPG-0850FPCGUS-R

Great power supply, only issue I have is that its an sfx-L. I didn't have enough room to fit this inside my 10l case. Cables were long enough for a true sff build. If you have a mAtx build you will probably need longer cables.

Nice looking unit. Very quiet (although I haven't quite figured out what the fan noise control switch does). Totally modular (which I didn't think was that big a deal, until I installed it). My old power supply just had a big wad of cables coming out of it, with maybe six drive power connectors on each one, plus a separate cable for fan power, and one for a higher-end video card than I have. There were unused cables flopping around everywhere, and they were in tubular sleeves, which made them very hard to bend or route. The Thermaltake unit has connectors on the power supply where you plug in only the power cables you want to use. It comes with a full set of cables for ATX motherboard power, IDE and SATA drive power, separate CPU power, and so on. They're made with the conductors in parallel, resulting in flat cables that are easy to route, bend, fold, and tuck out of the way. My old power supply sounded like someone was running a vacuum cleaner in the next room; this one is much, MUCH quieter. I was fairly impressed that the manufacturer had included a nice nylon-like pouch with a Velcro closure with all the cables in it. It was nice to have a place to neatly store the unused cables. I've seen some bad things about reliability in other reviews; so far, it works great, and I'm happy to have my system functioning again. If anything should subsequently happen in terms of reliability, I'll update my review.

It does what it's supposed to do, semi-modular is a plus. I use an a750 and a lot of decorative devices that needed power, so I chose this PSU so that I could be sure I would be able to accommodate everything. The look of the cables is alright, but I used cable extensions to match the color of my PC.

I managed to grab a **TT 1000W SFX power supply** for $130 (Used, Like New) an absolute steal, considering the price jumped to $192 shortly after. This PSU is super quiet during gaming, with the fan staying idle until power usage hits 25-30%, making for an excellent low-noise experience.Running VM workloads, the fan remains completely off, which is a great bonus. Once gaming kicks in, the fan does start spinning, but the noise level is barely noticeable. My PC is extremely quiet, thanks to a custom fan curve, and even at 2-3 feet away, I can hardly hear a thing.This PSU should last me **a long time**, powering my custom **server build** housed in a **Cooler Master NR200P V2**, running a **Ryzen 9 9900X**, **128GB DDR5 5600**, **2× 2TB M.2 drives**, and primarily my **RTX 4080 Super**. If I find another great deal, I’ll definitely buy it again.

I bought this thinking it was a solid budget PSU, but it turned out to be a huge mistake. After just two months of light use in a mid-range gaming setup, the unit completely failed. No warning signs, no power surges—just sudden death.The real nightmare started when I tried to get it replaced. Thermaltake’s warranty policy is borderline useless because they expect you to pay for return shipping. So not only am I stuck with a defective power supply, but I also have to shell out extra money just to maybe get a working one. When I raised this issue with their support, they ignored me. At this point, I’d rather put that money toward a better brand that actually stands behind their products.Avoid this PSU unless you’re willing to gamble on it failing prematurely. Spend a little more on a reputable brand with real customer support.

This PSU is very silent, I love that it can turn its fan off if the computer doesn't require it to be running (there's a switch to enable or disable this). It's got a connector for the new gen of video cards, many cables that are modular and come in a pouch, and it's very stable, I'm living in an old house and this was running my desktop with a RTX 2070 Super without any issues, I never had any electrical problem.

The last time I built a gaming PC was probably around 2016 and so I decided to build a new one.This is the first time I built a small form factor one.I decided to build in a Fractal Design Terra case, which is a mITX case with the following parts:- Asrock B650I Lightning- Ryzen 5 7600- Teamgroup T-Create Expert 32gb (16gbx2), CL30 6000- Samsung 990 Pro w/ Heatsink 2TB- Asrock Challenger Radeon RX 7800 XT 16gb- I also added a 4tb Samsun Evo 2.5" Sata SSD drive that I used with my old computer.PC part picker says this is about 450ish watts.I read that the Terra case can use both SFX and SFX-L power supplies, but people seem to recommend SFX as the bigger PSU gets in the way of cable management.This Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 1000W was on sale and only 10 bucks more than the 850W version.Well, the 1000W is SFX-L, so the cable management was a little tight, but doable. I'm new to SFX, so I was looking to avoiding the SFX-L, but I guess manfacturers advertise both SFX and SFX-L as SFX and it's the consumer that needs to read the dimensions to make sure it fits in the case.Eventually the 850w version went on sale, so I decided to return the 1000w and ordered the 850w.The 850w is SFX, but only comes with 1 PCIE 8-pin cable with two connectors, whereas the 1000w comes with 2 PCIE 8-pin cables with two connectors.The graphics card uses two 8-pin PCIE connectors. When using the 1000w, I used both cables as I read that it is generally better than using one cable with both connectors. It worked perfectly fine.However, when using the 850w, I had to use one 8-pin PCIE cable with both connectors to the graphics card, basically using a pigtail. There was such horrible buzzing and coil noise coming from the 850w that doesn't happen with the 1000w. It got so annoying that I decided to keep the 1000w and return the 850w.
