Conclusion: The
value and power that the Toughpower 1200w delivers is currently
unmatched. Few users will need a power supply of this magnitude, but
undoubtedly many will desire it.

Conclusion: The build quality of the Toughpower 1200W is excellent and the unit
will sure last you for a long time, probably through several computer
systems. As seen in our testing, the efficiency is also among the top,
should you care about reducing the energy waste of your PC. Given the
initial purchase price I doubt you could actually save money, but it
will help the environment.

Conclusion: I was very impressed with the overall performance of the Toughpower
W0133RU by Thermaltake, and would surely recommend this 1200W Modular
PSU to anyone with unusually high power needs or a unit with room for
growth. Attractive price and style along with effective voltage
regulation and low power ripple mean that you can't go wrong with the
Toughpower W0133RU.
Final Score: 9.0 out of 10. Excellence Achievement: Benchmark Reviews Golden Tachometer Award.
 Conclusion: The Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W is an all around great unit for
someone that wants as much power as money can buy. It's efficient and
has APFC, so it won't break the bank years down the road. The 140MM
fan makes it quieter than anything with an 80MM fan and it's
semi-modular so the inside of your rig can look nice and tidy. $350
is a bit expensive, but you won't need another power supply for a long
time after picking this one up!

Conclusion: Bottom line...
Whether you have a high-end gaming rig, an overclocked enthusiast
system, or are just looking for something strong that gives you room to
grow, the Thermaltake Toughpower 1200 will easily meet your needs. With
a massive amount of available power, modular cabling and a 5 year
warranty, it will serve you well for a long time to come.
Rating - 9 out of 10 and TweakTown's "MUST HAVE" Editors Choice Award!

Conclusion:
Thermaltake has made
a dramatic improvement in their PSU offering with the introduction of
their new Toughpower series. Once again, for outstanding efficiency,
load regulation, and features the Toughpower 1200W power supply brings
home the Gold.

Conclusion: The Good: Quiet, Stable, Well constructed The Bad: Heavy and long
 
Conclusion: If you are in the need for 1200W the ToughPower
is a great choice, if you only need 1000W, then go with the ToughPower
1000W. It will save you money and did perform 100% solid in our OCCT
testing. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Thermaltake ToughPower 1000W
Power Supply a 9 out of 10 score and our Recommended Award.

Conclusion: The
Thermaltake 1200W PSU is the second unit we have had the pleasure of
testing from the Toughpower range in Thermaltake's lineup of high end
quality PSU's. Were we surprised that the Toughpower 1200W would offer
100% stability combined with an excellent quality build? Of course we
weren't, It was pretty obvious after our review on the Thermaltake
Toughpower 1500W PSU that this one was also going to be a winner.

Conclusion: Power
enough for any multi-core/multi-GPU combination and enough left over
(and then a lot more) for a server's share of hard drives. The
sheathed and shrink wrapped lines give the unit a high quality look and
feel. EZ-Grip Molex connectors and the included 6-pin to 8-pin PCI-E
adapters in addition to three 6-pin and three 8-pin dedicated
independent power rails say quite a bit about the ability to grow with
this power supply as does the count of eight SATA, eight Molex and two
FDD connectors. Not forgetting modular cables and quiet operation
which is often attempted but not as often attained are two more jewels
in the crown.

Conclusion: All
in all, I am blown away by this product. Having been a long time OCZ
GameXstream user, I had no idea coming into this review what the
comparison would be. I'm pleased to report that I've officially
retired the GameXstream in favor of this Toughpower unit, both for
features and PCI-e/SLI compatibilities. The features and parts
package with the Toughpower are tough to beat. A 5 year warranty and
120,000 hour MTBF are big numbers, folks. The voltage regulation is
superb, and the quality of construction top notch
FPS Labs Conclusion:
+ Integrated fan grill
+ Single fan design, quiet
+ Active PFC, high efficiency
+ Modular
+ Well-priced
- Slightly longer than similar products.

Conclusion: With best-of-class specs and a generous feature set with configuration
options, the Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W is tough to beat. The
Toughpower line represents Thermaltake's flagship PSU offerings, and
the 1200W is a worthy addition, building on a tradition of power,
stability and cutting edge features. The fit and finish is flawless,
the connectors are numerous and the cable lengths are generous. It's
very quiet and efficient, keeping noise and heat to a minimum, yet
powerful enough to feed even the most power hungry components without
missing a beat. The informative manual is also a plus, clarifying the
ins-and-outs of the various VGA options this PSU can provide.
Conclusion: This PSU is is a powerhouse, I
find it hard to believe that there are actually more efficient PSU´s
for the price that you can get this for. Of course 330$ USD can scare
most people of but personally if you invest the money you have a future
proof PSU that offers up to 8 PCI-E power connectors. What I also find
sweet is that the PSU does not make anymore noise than any other lower
performing PSU on the market. It stays cool and I can for sure live
with the noise it makes since the chipset fans usually tend to make way
more noise than this PSU.
Conclusion: We drove the Thermaltake
Toughpower 1200 Watt Modular as hard as we could drive it, running 2
GTX-280's in SLI on our test rig. It provides rock solid stable power
in a serious enthusiast rig running multiple GPU's. We have no doubt
that after just a short break in time we'll be up and running GTX-280's
in triple SLI knowing that our prize rack of GPU's is safe in the hands
of a more than capable Nvidia Triple SLI certified power supply.

What is Eco-Friendly? | |
|
|
| Thermaltake aims to develop power supply units that make contributions to preserving the environment. In this way, all Thermaltake’s power supply designers take the Eco-Friendly Design guidelines into account when developing new products. Eco-Friendly Design is an engineering perspective in which at least one of the four eco-friendly design priorities (shown below) is considered and optimized. |
|
|
 |
Thermaltake’s power supply designers are committed to reduce the energy consumption needed to use our products. Currently many of Thermaltake high performance power supply units have been certified by 80 PLUS Energy Efficiency Program for their excellent ability to energy saving. Thermaltake will continue to enhance the efficiency for our power supply units and also reduce the energy consumption needed to power our PSUs.
