Thermaltake TOUGHPOWER PF3 1050W Platinum Power Supply Review

 

Packaging

Inside the box, you’ll find the the power supply itself, a nice pouch containing all the flat modular cables.

 

The Cables

You get a full set of flat modular cables which includes 1 x Molex, 3 x SATA, 1 x 24-pin ATX power and 2 x 8-pin CPU power cable for the motherboard. For graphics cards, there’s 1 x 8-pin PCIE as well as 2 x 8-pin PCIE cables with dual 8-pin connectors. And finally, the new PCIe 5.0 cable featuring the new 16-pin connectors for next-gen graphics cards (labelled 600W).

You also get some cable ties and set of mounting screws.

 

A Closer Look

The PSU is quite compact measuring just 150 x 140 x 86 mm. As far as connectors goes, you get the usual 24-pin ATX power connector, 1 x 12VHPWR connector for next-gen graphics cards, 4 x 8-pin PCIE connectors for motherboard and graphics card, and 4 x 6-pin power connectors for SATA power and 4-pin Molex.

For cooling you’ll find a 12cm FDB fan inside (no RGB). Next to the mains power switch, you’ll find the Smart Zero fan on/off switch, which allows you to adjust the fan speed and minimizes undesired noise.

 

Installation

We didn’t encounter any issues during installation. To power the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, we used the included 12VHPWR cable which is rated at 600W.

I love the flat modular cables, because it allows me to only use the cables I need and thus making my cable management much easier due to less cables being used.
