The tests speak for themselves. The PSU held very stable voltage lines across the board. It was almost begging me to purchase a Quad Crossfire setup, or two 8800GTX’s in SLI just so it could get a workout and stretch its legs ..

The Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W can excel with superb power delivery capability of up to 1200W. While I doubt any single system can even get close to that, it certainly gives you a nice headroom for overclocking. This headroom results in more stable voltages, than for example a 600W PSU ..

At this moment, only those computer enthusiasts and gamers with highly overclocked CPU's and either GeForce 8800 GTX/Ultra video cards in SLi, or Radeon HD 2900 XT video cards in CrossFire will begin to tax this power supply unit. Even with the highest demanding CPU and GPU combination available today, the total power consumption is still under 1000 watts. Of course, this is the kind of item which would hopefully future proof a long-term computer investment. At least, that's what we hope. ..

The only way to truly get a feel for how well this unit performed was to put some real world loads on it generated by one of the most power-hungry gaming computers we have seen. The TP1200 performed admirably in all of our tests, and proved to be more efficient than the TG1100-U96, which also seems to be an excellent unit and will be given a full review by us hopefully in the near future. ..

FAQ
 
Q:  Why do I need a ATI CrossFire or CrossFire X Certified power supply?
A:  AMD/ATI CrossFire and CrossFire X platform allows users to utilize multiple (up to 4) graphic cards in one system for ultimate graphics performance.  Thermaltake power supplies that are AMD/ATI CrossFire or CrossFire X certified were submitted to AMD and underwent rigorous testing to make sure the power supply met AMD’s highest standard of quality and reliability.  What that means is the consumer can rest assured that the Thermaltake power supply will power your powerhouse PC for years to come.

Q:  Why do I need a 80 PLUS certified power supply?
A:  The 80 PLUS program certifies PSU that has 80% or higher energy efficiency rate at 20%, 50%, 100% of loading, plus power factor of 0.9 or greater. This requirement makes an 80 PLUS certified PSU considerably more efficient than other power supplies. In other words, a computer with an 80 PLUS certified power supply will use around 15 % to 25% less electricity, generates less heat and saves the consumer money in the long run!

Q:  Will this Power Supply work with my SLI cards?
A:  Yes, this power supply will work for SLI cards and Crossfire cards as the power supply itself was tested by ATI, thus the ATI Certification.

Q:  The power supply shows a 24 (20+4) pin ATX power connector. But the motherboard I have only has 20 pin connector, will it still work?
A:  Yes, the 20+4 pin ATX power connector design allows the extra 4pin to be removed before connecting to a 20pin motherboard.  The new 24pin ATX power connecter found on today’s PC power supply is part of the new ATX specification (ATX12V 2.0 and above) which is necessary in order to support Intel’s current generation of processor architecture and other technological advances.

Q:  Help me choose a power supply.
A: 

We understand choosing a power supply may be a daunting task for some, especially with continuous upgrades to more advanced CPUs or Graphic Cards. The Thermaltake Power Supply Calculator can help! It is a very powerful yet user-friendly tool that tracks all major components that are commonly used in today's computer and computes the total power draw, then provides a suggested power supply range that is suitable for your unique PC.
