Thermaltake Rolls Out Toughpower GF3 PSUs with PCIe Gen 5 Connector and ATX 3.0 Compliance
Thermaltake today rolled out the Toughpower GF3 series high-wattage PSUs in the market, which it had unveiled early-July. These PSUs are claimed by Thermaltake to be ATX 3.0 ready, as well as include a PCI-Express Gen 5-compliant 12+4 pin connector that's capable of delivering up to 600 W of power with the ability to handle +100% excursions for at least 100 µs, making them ready for next-generation graphics cards and platforms. The Toughpower GF3 is being released in six wattages—1650 W, 1350 W, 1200 W, 1000 W, 850 W, and 750 W. The top 1650 W variant comes with two 12+4 pin PCIe Gen 5 connectors, while all lower models have one of them. These aside, the PSUs meet 80 Plus Gold efficiency standards, feature most common electrical protections, a multitude of standard 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors ranging from two on the 750 W model, to eight on the 1650 W one, at least two 8-pin EPS across the board, and 135 mm fans to keep cool.

Why not a Seasonic, or Fractal, or Be Quiet?
I actually would not buy a Thermaltake, Corsair or Seasonic or EVGA only for me.
Perhaps I will add BeQuiet and Fractal to that list as well, still not sure how I feel about a case manufacturer moving into PSU space though...
As for the Cactus, well, to me that implies that you "can't touch this" without wearing a pair of well-financed gloves :roll:
And 'You can't touch this! (apart from with heavily cash-padded gloves)
Ayy, lmao! That was too subtle even for me!
Second both Be Quiet and Fractal are not new on the PSU market they have been around for many years and both of them have had both good and bad series over the years

Reading PSU reviews is my second most favorite thing after reading audio gear reviews.

If the price is right something like the MSI MPG A750GF is not a bad option

Gigabyte on the other hand uses MEIC for some of their stuff which is the OEM that made all the exploding Gigabyte models
Until there is proof that MEIC has gotten its act together i would not touch anything made by them with 10 feet barge pole
