Thermaltake, the leading PC DIY premium brand for Case, Cooling, Gaming peripherals, and enthusiast Memory solutions, is proud to introduce the Toughpower GF3 1200 W Snow and the Toughpower GF A3 850 W/1050 W Snow, our first ATX 3.0 power supplies in white. To provide more options for the latest PSU with Intel's ATX 3.0 standard and native 12+4-pin PCIe Gen 5.0 connector, Thermaltake brings a new color to the high-attention GF3 series and GF A3 series. These two series are fully modular power supplies with 80 Plus Gold certification, achieving superior cable management and energy efficiency, and now comes in a snow edition! Toughpower GF3 ARGB Gold has a 16-pin connector to offer robust and stable performance allowing the PSU to run next-generation GPUs natively. The wattage marked on the 12VHPWR’s connector is the recommended wattage. (Ref. Intel design guideline) The native 16 PIN (12VHPWR) PCIe connector of the GF3 ARGB 850W can deliver up to 450W for PCIe 5.0 graphics cards. It’s also great to see Thermaltake keeping up with the latest specifications, as this GF3 ARGB 850w unit utilizes the latest Intel 3.0 ATX specification and PCIe Gen 5.0 GPU power connector.
Thermaltake’s PSU people try hard to offer quality and high-performance products, and their cooperation with manufacturers like CWT plays a key role in this. The ToughPower GF3 1200 uses the proven CSZ platform, equipped with quality parts. The performance of this unit topped my charts with 115V input, and the PSU scored second with 230V input. Most of the PSUs I used for comparison purposes are Platinum, and one of them is Titanium (be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12), showing that I chose extra tough competitors for the GF3 1200. There aren’t many Gold 1200W units, so I had only two options, select lower capacity Gold units or go with Platinum ones with similar capacity, and I chose the latter.
To prevent momentarily drops and transient power outages caused by a power interruption, the GF A3 series will deliver at least 17 ms at 100% workload, without system reboot or resetting. Thank you to Thermaltake for sending the TOUGHPOWER GF3 ARGB 850w unit for today’s review!
