System Name Firelance.
Processor Threadripper 3960X
Motherboard ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming
Cooling IceGem 360 + 6x Arctic Cooling P12
Memory 8x 16GB Patriot Viper DDR4-3200 CL16
Video Card(s) MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Ventus 2X OC
Storage 2TB WD SN850X (boot), 4TB Crucial P3 (data)
Display(s) 3x AOC Q32E2N (32" 2560x1440 75Hz)
Case Enthoo Pro II Server Edition (Closed Panel) + 6 fans
Power Supply Fractal Design Ion+ 2 Platinum 760W

Given that the 750W supports only two "legacy" PCIe 6+2 pin power connectors natively, I wonder if they're going to ship 12VHPWR-to-PCIe adapters with these PSUs, or expect customers to buy them separately?

Just curiousity to ask, I pretty like Thermaltake's case like Tower 500, but i have no idea about their power supply. Is that so bad? Was there any issue before?

I was always told to buy EVGA (only certain models) or Seasonic PSU's, and more recently Corsair PSU's have entered the realm of trust. I haven't researched it too much these days though, who knows anymore.

Like most manufacturers, it depends on which product you're looking at. TT's PSUs range from not-particularly-good to pretty-okay, though the Toughpower line seems to be genuinely good overall, IIRC. Also keep in mind that you're on a tech-enthusiast forum, so sometimes stuff that's perfectly fine for 90% of people will get written off as worthless by commenters here. Power supplies are particularly susceptible to this. Though it's worth noting that there are a LOT of genuinely terrible PSUs out there.

But we're getting there. By year end there should be quite some choice.
