#833 - Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W Power Supply Video Revew

[Hrakleus]

I have the 775W version and it can't even handle my 4890 on my Q6600....

[CorneliusGrim]

1200 watts? Jeezus Christ.

[Mavrik347]

You talk like a super hero.

Love it!

[Restaurant25]

@z34gtp9395

xD

[genbowl]

Can this power two 5870s cause it says it only has 3 six pin lead offs and two 5870s require 4 six pin adapters.

[WushuTrainee]

It can power 3 and more of those cards, because the new technology in those cards consume 4 times less power than the 4000 series.

Even for crosssfire it wil be fine even if you connect 3 cards.

[superfuse900]

hay guys i just bought a nvidia 9600 gso farcry 2 edition graphics card and it says that i need a recconmmended 500w supplementary power but my psu in my pc is max 360w i was wondering if i could but a thermaltake psu unit and house it out side my pc and use it as a power supply for my graphics card whould that work? all replys welcome thx

[vinny4punt0]

yes it can work although if you turn on your pc you also need to turn on the psu outside the pc

you can let the psu on at all times i guess?!

[hille32]

guess you could, but buying a 500-600w PSU and simply switching woulb be easier

[arko865]

i wouldn't recommend using two PSU if thats what you mean, just get a 650watt corsair PSU or something like that.

[uut0]

0.24 watts included you get free electricity lol

[mrkeith557]

2900 watts haha nice bloopers lol

[angelodagnolo]

Anyone get a very very short 4pin 12v motherboard connecter. I bought the 750w version and I cant believe how short the 4pin is as apposed to the 8pin.

Sort it out Thermaltake!!! REDICULOUS!!!

[caretaker]

@ 5:20 the psu sounds almost mute duhh! its not even runnin at full load !

[12cu294xxx]

actauly u can run it without motherboard

connect green wire with a black one =)

[DNDivinity]

Was just kidding Great VIdeo, I bought the 750 Watt xD

[DNDivinity]

Record got broken at the end NOOOO! We are doomed!

[lolaroflmao]

haha rodney!

(7:30) 2900 watts is next year :D

[lipton5001]

Really great vids, i love them, keep up the good work !

[lolzim8888]

the end of vid LOL i laught the shit out of me :D

[rdt1970]

toughpower very load at high load

[SweTego]

Does it make my x4 CrossFireX ATI Radeon 4870X2 happy?

[Eotttt]

Nej, eftersom du inte kan ha 4 st 4870x2 om du inte har gjort m.kortet själv.

[SweTego]

Så, jag kan bara ha två 4870X2?

[n1b1kn1b1k]

its a beast of a power supply what you guys think is better silverstone zm1200 or tough power 1200

[CDWalkthroughsAG]

would it fit in a antec Nine hundred and twelve hundred case??

[n1b1kn1b1k]

yes on the 1200 not sure on the 900

[NolBC]

good reviews. the endings are always really gay though

[moomar1]

Do not buy this psu, I've had two faulty ones plus the store has had two more faulty ones sent to them for me... plus one other for someone else all faulty!... thermaltake toughpowers are junk

[Piacco2706]

and whats about the toughpower 1500w?

[H3aDShotDuDe]

It probably was not released at the time of the review.

[AnarchyOwnz]

What amount of power should I get for my setup with an eVGA 9800 gtx 512 mb, Asus m2n-SLI 570, AMD athlon 64 X2 6400 dualcore (3.2 ghz) w/thermaltake V1 cpu cooling?

[moose51789]

i would say around 600 watts, give you some room to breath. I use 850 for almost the same setup but with two graphics cards.

[swanny812]

you talk fast!!!!!!

[CALAdmin88]

1200W?! Damn that's a lot of power. I still love my 650W'er though.

[SPANGO0]

Hello i was just wondering does this psu fit in a tj09 case and will it hold up with water cooling 2 fans 5 hhds 2 burners and a quad core clocked at 3.2ghz and a tri sli setup

thanks rodney

ps lov yr vids mwa

[joostmul123]

it is an standard ATX Power supplie, so i think it will fit and the amount of power will be enough for youre set up.

the thing thats the problem for you, is that you need some extra connectors, but you can buy some cable's for that.

(^^)

[Achilles2144]

i guess you would need this for 4 10k rpm hdd quad core 8800gtu x2, npu,a soundcard, and ppu.

[SPANGO0]

hmm new model 8800gtu kool lol

[Achilles2144]

yeah oops lol gtx

[SPANGO0]

lol

[r3dn3ck57]

if you plug that into your house it is gunna blow one of your fuses :p

[shakidaki]

i like to see you review the thermaltake swordm full tower case and i like to also know the price of them like how much i can expect it to cost

[RenegadeFury]

I'm just curious you don't review power supplies correctly, your supposed to get a load tester, and measure the ripple... And perhaps open inside and tell the caps it used... like jonnyguru :)

[MYSTICDRAGON07]

me to.i also sent a friend invite

[slovenck456]

hey 3dgameman please add me to your friends list

[busybjorn]

My 1U runs on a 300W PSU

Do the maths: 1200/300 = 4 1U servers at 1 PSU :o

No seriously... 1200W is overkill unless you have > 25 CCFLs

[lotr10]

There is a 1600W PSU now >:)

[juidas]

Holy Sweet mother 100AMPS! for the 12V LOL!

[unknown124]

yea crazy isn't it?

[roadkill3030]

lmao!! 2900W thats next year

[splitemind]

well this is sick.. 1200W ... just cracy!!! What i don't like is the switch on the back with the light in it...

[sageuvagony]

That light just uses electricity :(

[macsftw]

Too much for even a Gaming PC, maybe a quadcore server though.....?

[falchard]

It looks like it should be enough for a FX board using 4 video cards, although it still might be too much.

[huryochagi]

Rodney, I really enjoy watching your video reviews, but I'm kind of sceptical about your verdicts because every product you review seem to be a "kick-ass product". Therefore I only watch these videos to see what the products look like and what features they have. I'm not saying your biased, but we as viewers would like to hear both pro's and cons, not only pro's.

[mikemikemofo]

that's cause rodney only gets kick ass products-he'd never get within 10 feet of any shady products;)

[huryochagi]

That may sound great, but every product has pro's and cons. Most choices between already good products are based on the most influential drawbacks. Even an extremely high price tag may be a negative thing to be taken in consideration.

[mikemikemofo]

i was just being sarcastic there....i will say that i've been happy with all of the thermaltake psu's ive used over the years. don't know about 1200w though....perfectly happy with the antec neo480 that's been rocking my gamer for the past couple years

[huryochagi]

I had a Thermaltake passive PSU for a couple of years. It was a fantastic power supply, but 350 Watt wasn't enough for my newer PC, so now I have a more powerful PSU.

[sageuvagony]

okay..............

[lonelyfag15]

how much power would a hardcore gaming pc do you need? the most ive seen was 850 for a gtx sli'd

[eddta]

I agree 1200W is way too much for a quieter much better built PSU that is probably the most stable go with the enermax infiniti.

[jp198780]

Not for connection to Paris Hiltons chair

Game ON!

ROFL

very nice :-)

[jp198780]

i agreee, 1200W is wayyyy 2 much power 2 put 2 use

800W is even 2 much

[BlagDAD]

Not for connection to Paris Hiltons chair

Game ON!

[viet411]

1200w is alot of power, man thats a beast power supply man

[slowmode122]

1200W is to much power.

[piszczello]

i agree, psu looks kickass.

not for me tho

[Neties]

the end is always the same =(

[Celticdruid83]

love those bloopers at the end

[stickcreator]
