Thermaltake unveiled a couple of new PSUs at the CES 2025 show, but the stars of the show were the new TOUGHPOWER TF3 Titanium and the TOUGHPOWER SFX Titanium. In addition, there is a TOUGHPOWER IRGB PLUS Titanium and the TOUGHPOWER D2000. As expected, the entire new lineup is ATX 3.1 compliant and PCIe Gen 5 ready, and uses 100 percent JP electrolytic capacitors.

The TOUGHPOWER TF3 will be available in 1300 W and 1600 W options, while the TOUGHPOWER IRGB PLUS comes in 1250 W and 1650 W options. Both are fully compatible with the new ATX 3.1 specifications, and come with native support for two PCIe Gen 5.1 16-pin power connector. Thermaltake is introducing the new hybrid multi-rail OCP design, which allows the PSU to switch between single and multi-rail, with OCP activating between 130 and 150 percent on each rail. The PSU also has an OCM button that allows users to enable single rail for enhanced overclocking performance. The TOUGHPOWER SFX TITANIUM certainly caught our attention, as Thermaltake managed to make a 1200 W PSU with 80 Plus Titanium efficiency rating in a standard 125 x 63.5 x 103.8 mm SFX dimensions.

Thermaltake took CES 2025 show by force, showing a lot of new and updated products, including a couple of new PC cases. In addition to new color options for the already available The Tower 600 and The Tower 250 PC cases, it also showcased a couple of new and rather interesting cases, including the TR100 Travel PC Case, which will be available with an optional travel suite case accessory, making it ideal for LAN parties, professional gaming tournaments, or remote work setups. Thermaltake also showcased the new View 390 and View 600 PC cases, as well as a couple of workstation cases, the AX500 and the AX700.

The TR100 Travel PC case is an 18.9-liter dual-chamber chassis, which packs quite a few features, considering it is meant to be portable. Thermaltake was keen to note that it designed the case to be as portable as possible without compromising support for high-end hardware, making it ideal for digital nomads, esports enthusiasts or professionals that demand both performance and portability. It supports up to 360 mm long and 70 mm tall graphics cards, up to 280 mm AIO radiator or two 120/140 mm fans, comes with perforated panels and dust filters for dust and debris protection, and supports up to two 2.5-inch SSDs. Of course, it only supports SFX or SFX-L power supplies, but this should not be a problem as Thermaltake already showcased a 1,200 W SFX PSU at the CES 2025 show. The TR100 also comes with a rather neat optional travel suite case accessory, which has room for both the PC case, portable monitor, keyboard, mouse, and even a Meta Quest headset.

InWin has showcased several new server chassis models at CES—these new introductions form part of the company's efforts to expand regional IPC, server, and systems assembly operations going into 2025. New manufacturing facilities in the USA and Malaysia were brought online last year, and new products have sprung forth. TechPowerUp staffers were impressed by InWin's RG650B model—this cavernous rackmount GPU server has been designed with AI and HPC applications in mind. Its 6.5U dual-chamber design is divided into two sections with optimized and independent heat dissipation systems—GPU accelerators are destined for the 4.5U space, while the motherboard and CPUs go into the 2U chamber.

The RG650B's front section is dominated by the nine pre-installed hot swappable 80 x 30 mm (12,000 RPM max. rated) PWM fans. This array should provide plenty of cooling for any contained hardware; these components will be powered by an 80 Plus Titanium CRPS 3200 W PSU (with four 12V-2x6 pin connectors). InWin's spec sheet states that their RG650B supports 18 FHFL PCI-Express slots with four PCI-Express riser cables—granting plenty of potential for the installation of add-in boards.

TPU is looking to hire a PC enthusiast or professional to review PC power supplies (PSUs) part-time. Our current reviewer suvirintojas put out some great work with us since 2023, but has changes in his life that require his attention. We thank him for the wonderful work and hope we find a replacement of equal caliber. TechPowerUp PSU reviews tend to be highly technical, as we dive into the finer aspects of the PSU's switching performance, and quality of electrical output across various voltage domains. We also focus on noise levels and efficiency.

The PSU industry is in a state of transition toward newer standards such as ATX 3.1, PCIe Gen 5 CEM, and perhaps even ATX12VO, which means we'll never run out of new PSUs to review for at least the next few years. This is where you step in—we are looking for a PSU reviewer with fairly high availability for a significant output of reviews. We can help arrange as many PSU samples as you can handle.

ASUS today announced the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition, a PC case that bolsters the aesthetics and sustainability of the original creator-focused PA602 chassis with parts constructed of durable and eye-catching wood.

A classic material for contemporary luxury
The ProArt PA602 Wood Edition seamlessly integrates wooden pieces into three locations. It starts with long handles along the top edge of the chassis, each sturdy enough to hold 30 kg. A second wood piece provides an eye-catching backdrop for the front I/O panel. Finally, long wood pieces are used for the ventilated front panel of the chassis. The wood used for the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), so users can trust that it was sourced from responsibly managed forests. Ash is the wood of choice because it offers superior hardness and durability, versus wood such as walnut. After selecting ideal pieces of lumber, the material's durability is enhanced with a thermowood treatment. Shaping and surface grinding refine each piece to exact specifications, and a two-step coating process highlights the natural appearance of the wood grain and applies a low-sheen finish. The wood elements of the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition elevate its sophisticated, professional look. With its minimalist design rooted in clean lines and pleasing symmetry, the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition chassis has an aesthetic that is never out of place.

Having received much positive feedback from partners and visitors during its first announcement at Computex 2024, Sea Sonic is proud to launch the new Seasonic FOCUS GX (2024) Series. In the footsteps of the popular FOCUS Series power supplies, this new iteration introduces innovative features that aspire to follow the legacy and position the FOCUS GX (2024) at the new Center of Attention.

Introducing a Technological Milestone: OptiSink
The FOCUS GX (2024) was redesigned with a brand new PCB layout and is produced during a new manufacturing process involving automated surface mount technology. Improved design also includes the use of smaller MOSFETs and heat sink components, which increases the internal space within the PSU to promote better airflow. All these enhancements not only improve the overall quality of the FOCUS GX (2024) Series, but also make it more efficient and more reliability in the long run.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang never misses an opportunity to remind us that Moore's Law is cooked, and that future generations of logic hardware will only get larger and hotter, or hungrier for power. NVIDIA's next generation "Blackwell" graphics architecture promises to bring certain architecture-level performance/Watt improvements, coupled with the node-level performance/Watt improvements from the switch to the TSMC 4NP (4 nm-class) node. Even so, the GeForce RTX 5090, or the part that succeeds the current RTX 4090, will be a power hungry GPU, with rumors suggesting the need for two 16-pin power inputs.

TweakTown reports that the RTX 5090 could come with two 16-pin power connectors, which should give the card the theoretical ability to pull 1200 W (continuous). This doesn't mean that the GPU's total graphics power (TGP) is 1200 W, but a number close to or greater than 600 W, which calls for two of these connectors. Even if the TGP is exactly 600 W, NVIDIA would want to deploy two inputs, to spread the load among two connectors, and improve physical resilience of the connector. It's likely that both connectors will have 600 W input capability, so end-users don't mix up connectors should one of them be 600 W and the other keyed to 150 W or 300 W.

GameMax, an emerging brand of PC gaming components including gaming cases and power supply units, introduces the GameMax GX-850 PRO power supply featuring PCIe 5.1 and ATX 3.1 standards, supporting the latest Intel and AMD platforms including the upcoming AMD X870 motherboards.
