Thermalright Brings a Huge Lineup of PSUs to Computex 2024
Thermalright brought a large lineup of contemporary high-end PSUs to Computex 2024. The lineup is led by the flagship AT1650 Titanium. This beast has 1650 W of power on tap, and meets ATX 3.1 with PCIe 5 specs. It puts out not one, but two 16-pin 12V-2x6 connectors, both capable of 600 W. Besides this, you get two 8-pin EPS, at least six 6+2 pin PCIe power, and close to a dozen SATA power and other peripheral connectors. Its 80 Plus Titanium switching efficiency makes the dual 600 W 12V-2x6 configuration possible. The TG-1650-W offers the same 1650 W, and two 12V-2x6, but with lower 80 Plus Gold switching efficiency.
The company also has a couple of high-Wattage SFX and SFX-L PSUs, the TGFX850 and TGFX1000, which as their names suggest, deliver 850 W and 1000 W, respectively. You get full modular cabling, one 600 W-capable 12V-2x6, and dual 8-pin EPS. Switching gears back to the conventional ATX/PS2 form-factor, and there are the TG-1200, TP-1000, and TG-1000-W, which are 80 Plus Gold, 80 Plus Platinum, and 80 Plus Gold-rated, respectively; and each offer a 600 W 12V-2x6.

5 year warranty and 40c rated? Not exactly high hurdles to jump over especially if you want to compete with the better of XPG, Seasonic, and Corsair that's out there
that flagship sounds like a high power platform that's already on the market but until thats confirmed or someone opens it up we won't know
For $30 coolers that's fine, can literally just buy a new one if outside of the Amazon return window. For PSUs it's unacceptable. When I looked at it last year TR didn't even have info on their website about the actual length of warranty on their products.
My own Phanteks Revolt X 1200 watt has 12 years warranty. It's designet by Phanteks, but manufacturer and built by Seasonic. Besides the fan can be a bit more noisy than i would have liked, i am fairly happy with it the 3 years i had it so far. Also the very unique feature of capable of running two systems on this single psu makes it stand out from the rest.
However a low warranty doesnt mean it total crap. I don't know about thermalright psu, but i had a thermaltake toughtpower 1500 watt psu before and had it for 12 years and when i sold it, still worked perfectly fine. My point is that it also only came with 5 year warranty back then in 2009 when i got it.
I have various Thermalright products, but I'm not afraid to call their support what it is - utterly unacceptable.

If that was purposeful, someone needs to tell them:
In The West / English1st Speaking World "Alright" often means 'barely acceptable', 'sub-par', 'not great', 'just okay', 'unexcited/unexciting', 'normal/nominal', etc. :laugh:
Also, can't unsee their (upsidedown?) emblem as a grimacing face, either.
I'm all for affordable gear, but a PSU is not something you want to cheap out on.
Not a great showing from TR. :shadedshu:
Addendum: Value is yet to be seen.
'Will need to know release MSRP and ODM (who builds it) and/or build quality.
5yr warranty is lacking amongst premium brands, yes.
I'd still consider 'em if they had a similar sales model to their HSFs: cheap but quality, with only the most-unluckiest needing the non-existent support/warranty.
Basically, bulk-purchase PSUs from a reputable ODM, cased, branded, and sold near-BOM by TR.
They replaced a Corsair Virtuoso XT T-Pain edition after I reported intermittent wireless connectivity (2.4G, not BT) with it. I did not need to send the defective one back, so I scavenged the earpads and other attachable accessories (earpads, USB-C cable, etc.) as future parts of the replacement.
For now, I can only trust Thermalright with their CPU coolers and maybe their fans, but they're very affordable to not even worry too much about the warranty.
Glad to see Thermalright is back in full force, and kicking ass :)
Highest priced option? $45.
