Thermaltake has long been a popular choice in the enthusiast power supply market, and their latest entry, the Toughpower GT 1000W, continues this legacy by targeting the high-end PC market. Designed to meet the demands of modern hardware, such as flagship graphics cards, the GT 1000w is built with the latest ATX 3.1 standards, ensuring it can handle the increasing power demands of modern systems. Whether you are building a powerful workstation or a top-tier gaming rig, the Toughpower GT 1000W is ticking all the right boxes
High-Quality, High-Class Features
The Thermaltake Toughpower GT 1000W features a native 12V-2×6 connector capable of delivering up to 600W of power any of the latest and upcoming GPUs. What’s impressive is that it can deliver 1000w despite it’s smaller 140mm depth, making it surprisingly short for a high-end ATX power supply and an excellent choice for builders working in cases where space is at a premium. The GT also features a Smart Zero Fan system, which keeps the 120mm fan idle during low loads and temperatures to ensure silent operation for daily work tasks, but an active fan when it’s needed most.
Key Features
- ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Ready: Fully compatible with Intel ATX 3.1 specifications, supporting up to 200% power excursion.
- Native 12V-2×6 Connector: Includes a high-quality 12+4 pin cable to power modern graphics cards with up to 600W via a single connection.
- 80 PLUS Gold Certified: Delivers up to 90% energy efficiency under typical loads, reducing heat and electricity costs.
- Smart Zero Fan: The 120mm hydraulic bearing fan remains silent until the load exceeds a specific threshold.
- Fully Modular Design: Low-profile flat black cables allow for easier cable management and improved airflow within the chassis.
- Industrial-Grade Protection: Built-in OCP, OVP, UVP, OPP, SCP, and OTP protections for maximum system safety.
The technical specifications of the Toughpower GT 1000W are impressive, nothing unusual for a PSU if this calibre, but still packing in everything you could need. It utilises a powerful single +12V rail design paired with LLC and DC-to-DC circuitry to provide stable voltage regulation and enhanced compatibility across a variety of hardware configurations. With an MTBF of 100,000 hours and a 5-year warranty, the unit is engineered for longevity. Further enhanced by it’s 80 Plus Home efficiency and decent amount of connectors for high-end system.
