Tough Power – Thermaltake XT 775W PSU

The Conclusion

We are very impressed with Thermaltake’s ToughPowerXT 775 W PSU. It does more than it is advertised to do and we have been testing it under the most severe gaming conditions for well over a month with two different builds that require absolute stability.

The Pros:

• A conservative-looking, very silent and stable, underrated PSU for a great price!
• Cool packaging and accessories
• 82% (plus) efficiency results in a PSU that can be cooled quietly by a 140 mm nearly silent fan even at extreme load.
• Flat cabling allows for better airflow; modular design allows you to use only the cables you need
• Well-built PSU insures stable power past its rating as it is rated at 50 C, not at 25 C as with most PSUs.
• 3 LEDs show the state of the PSU (if you have a clear panel and it is installed with the fan down).
• The PSU’s cooling fan runs a few seconds after power off to insure the internal components stay cool to last long.
• 5-year warranty

The Cons:

• Minimal written instructions included (go to their site)
• Cables are very stiff and difficult to bend (pre-bend them)
• PSU remains “on” when the PC is off (use a power strip if you want to be extra “green”)

We feel a big thumbs-up is in order for Thermaltake’s ToughPower XT 775 W ! It is well deserving of our “Great Value” and “Editor’s Choice” awards.
