Thermaltake Announces Toughpower PF1 1050W/1200W TT Premium Edition Availability

[btarunr]

Thermaltake, the leading PC DIY premium brand for Cooling, Gaming Gear, and Enthusiast Memory solutions, announces that Toughpower PF1 1050 W/1200 W—TT Premium Edition is now available for purchase via the TT Premium and Thermaltake worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.

Being the higher wattage models to the customer-beloved Toughpower PF1 series, the Toughpower PF1 1050 W/1200 W delivers 80 PLUS Platinum-certified efficiency, and levels up in cooling performance by featuring a 120 mm High Static Pressure Fan which can perform at a maximum operating speed of up to 2500 RPM. The second-generation hydraulic bearing, exceptional fan blades, and anti-vibration mounting system of the fan also helps to further its cooling performance.



This fully modular series is equipped with Smart Zero Fan to minimize undesired noise, under 30 mV low ripple noise design to reduce electricity waste, and 100% Japanese-made capacitors to ensure reliability. The PSU voltage regulation is set to no more than plus or minus 2 percent for major rails to deliver higher standards than Intel's specification.

What's more, one of the highlights of the Toughpower PF1 series which cannot be neglected is its compact size. In general, the depth of the ATX PSU ranges from 160 mm to 180 mm; however, the Toughpower PF1 1050 W/1200 W is in the size of 150 mm (W) x 86 mm (H) x 140 mm (D), which is relatively shorter than a normal ATX PSU, and provides an ample space for easy installation and cable management.

For gaming enthusiasts and working professionals who are looking for high wattage and high-quality PSU in a compact size, the Toughpower PF1 1050 W/1200 W Platinum Series is your best choice.

Features of the Thermaltake Toughpower PF1 1050W/1200W Platinum - TT Premium Edition:
120mm High Static Pressure Fan
Toughpower PF1 1050W/1200W Platinum features a High Static Pressure Fan with a maximum fan speed of up to 2500 RPM, ensuring superb cooling performance. The 2nd Generation Hydraulic Bearing incorporates a new shaft design with inside etches, and an Exceptional Blade Design to guarantee that the fan blades are very tensile in strength, and the Anti-Vibration Mounting System is to provide protection and silent operation.

Compact Design with 140 mm Depth
The Toughower PF1 Plainum Series is designed to be compact with its size of 140 mm (D) x 86 mm (H) x 150 mm (L) providing ample space for cable management.

Smart Zero Fan
Designed with our Smart Zero Fan, the fan will not spin until the load exceeds 30% of the power supply, minimizing fan noise.

0 mV Low Ripple Noise
All ripples are lower than 30 mV on +12V, +5V or +3.3V from 0% to 100% load to ensure a stable operation and keeps your performance-critical components functioning more reliable for longer.

Extremely Strict Voltage Regulation < ±2%
The voltage regulation is stricter than Intel's standard ±5% for major rails and ±10% for -12 V, and is set to no more than ±2% for major rails to meet the highest performance.

Fully Modular Low-Profile Flat Cable
Offers cable selection for users while powering the system at an advantageous voltage. Low-profile flat black cables makes cable management easier, reduces clutter and increases airflow inside the chassis.

Premium Japanese 105°C/221°F Capacitors
Providing great durability as well as offering the highest stability, while remaining reliable.

High Amperage Single +12V Rail
Powerful single +12V rail ensures a stable and reliable supply to other PC components.

80 PLUS Platinum Certified and Intel C6/C7 States Ready
Toughpower PF1 Platinum series saves energy through its high energy efficiency up to 92% and is certified to 80 PLUS Platinum. The series has been optimized to work with all generations of Intel's processors to achieve maximum energy savings.

ThermalFake, get stuffed. The only thing they're leading is the masquerade.

Why are still outdated ATX 2.0 PSUs released that lack the upcoming new connector for GPUs that are released soon?

Simple, relentless, unbridled greeeed..... they want you to buy these now, then have to buy a new one with the new connectors when they come out......

as in nGreedia v2.0, hehehehe

I will stick to seasonic or corsair :=)

So far only Nvidia is adopting these new connectors. And.. it's not the end of the world:

I mean there's always a sollution to a problem.

These are garbage. First of all this isn’t the new connector I spoke of, secondly a ATX 3.0 16 pin adaptor for GPUs must be active otherwise it can not provide the sensing hardware that is needed for it to recognize which power is needed. And this means it will default to half the power (of 600W) or even less, I actually think it was 150W. So this adaptor you’re talking about will not be cheap and will not be included with graphics cards either. The best thing is to change the PSU to a modern one as well when you upgrade to a high end card next gen, they will use a ton of power anyway and most people don’t have 1KW+ PSUs.

I dont need a 600W GPU. I'd take a 300 to 450W GPU on avg.

Because of that i wont have to replace my PSU (at all) at that point.

If they use the new connector you will still need a adaptor, otherwise it will default to 150W because, again, the GPU then can not sense your PSU. 4 of these 16 pins are purely for power sensing, and a primitive adaptor does not provide those.

I don't know how thermaltake psu are today. But the 1500 watt unit I had in my old X58 system buyed in 2009 and had it until last year or 12 years. Worked flawlessly and still Dit at the moment i sold it with my X58 system. So I don't know why the hate?

Today through I use a phanteks Revolt x 1200 watt psu made by seasonic. But it is all because it's the only psu you can run two systems on at once. Not because it is made by seasonic.

Why not? Following your statements no company should release new high watt psu because new gpu release at the end of the year?

They are still alot of gpu being sold atm with current connector.

Normally they wait the release of the card and you see a bunch of new psu with the new connector you talking about the same day.

Because it’s already outdated, very simple.

Hi,
Beside nvidia how many other gpu manufactures use the newer ports ?

AMD will directly compete with Nvidia and you can expect them to match them somewhat in power and performance, well hopefully less power, but the new connector is nice and they will use it too. Less cables, still more power = win, win.

Fractal and superflower are also decent.

from the website
ATX 12V v2.4

from wiki
The ATX12V 2.4 specifications were published in April 2013. It is specified in Revision 1.31 of the 'Design Guide for Desktop Platform Form Factors'

this is actually common, unfortunately. Look at corsairs psus on their website.

Yea sure didn’t expect anything else. So far I just saw a GB half-way 3.0 spec PSU, I don’t know what it lacks to not have full 3.0 spec but it has the important 16 pin connector so it’s more or less fine. All I can say about it, is, don’t buy a PSU now that isn’t spec 3.0. Wait for the new ones. Buy at least one that has the new 16 pin connector or you’ll regret it.

Well if you need one, then get one, but try to look for one built to the ATX 2.52 version. That's about the newest I can find. Might be waiting another 8 years before ATX v3.0 psus are common and by then I'm sure there will be about 3 more versions and 6 more revisions to the spec.

No that can’t be, 3.0 is supposed to come soon, I already saw many news articles about it, here and on different sites. It should come this or next year. If 2.52 has the new connector it’s fine enough though.

Because it's not as simple as slapping a 12VHPWR connector on a PSU.

Hi,
So in a more straight forward way,
Nobody used the new power connector nvidia came out with
Forget all the clean wiring nonsense and how amd will follow a Competitors idiotic gpu connector

evga/ asus/ gigabyte/ msi/... all stayed with regular obsolete psu power connectors from prior series yeah very interesting.

Actually I think Nvidia did the ground work and the ATX power spec guys just followed suit, they took the 12 pin design from Nvidia and improved it a bit more and made it industry standard.

I reckon that these PSUs are going to be very loud under heavy load. So far, I’ve not come across any fans that spin up to 2.5K RPM and still remain quiet. At 2K, all fans are clearly audible whether the PC is on or under the desk. In my opinion, there are better more reliable PSU brands to consider. No point going for Thermaltake’s since there is nothing that really stands out from the overcrowded market.
