Thermaltake is well known for cooling and notebooks are getting hotter with every generation. A lot of different manufacturers are offering notebook coolers. The NBCool T1000 is made out of plastic and available in three different colors. The second variant is a cloth based cooling pad. The iXoft works in a very simple matter: inside the cloth is a chemical which is solid at room temperature, if a hot laptop is placed on the pad, the cloth and its contents absorb the heat, which is used to liquify the chemical. Such a process requires energy which is taken in as heat from the notebook.


The third notebook cooler made of aluminum and fan-less as well. The pad acts as a large cooler with heat pipes placed at strategic locations under the notebook. These help spread any heat.


We reviewed the Muse LanDisk HDD enclosure here, which did quite well. Thermaltake is now offering the Max4 as the newest enclosure in different variants. The enclosure is similar to the Akasa fusion in structure and features an 8 cm fan to keep the hard drive cool. The Muse-X Duo RAID is the little brother of the large NAS array and can fit two hard drives instead of four. This reduces cost and makes it more attractive to home users.


The next area in which Thermaltake is offering new products are power supplies. While it may not be brand new, the semi fan-less Dual Power is present. Another very interesting PSU is the Purepower RX Ion, which ionizes the air around the workplace. The TR2-RX series is aimed at DIY builders who are looking for a solid power supply, without spending a fortune. As you may have noticed, Thermaltake is adapting their entire PSU lineup to utilize 14 cm fans. The TR2-RX has already undergone that transition.


At the high-end, there is the ToughPower series. All of these already feature a 14 cm fan. The QFan 650W is an especially silent solution. The ToughPower 1000W and 1200W are much larger than the usual PSU but deliver enough for any system these days. If 1200W is not enough, how 'bout 1500W? The ToughPower 1500W is Thermaltake's new flagship PSU and should be enough for any system that money can buy.


Last but not least, the Power Express makes a comeback. We reviewed the first incarnation with 250W here. The new model which fits into a single 5.25 inch drive bay can now handle 450W and comes with the new 8 pin PCIe power connector. As you can see the front power switch has disappeared. The new top model should be enough to power two R600s as it can deliver 650W of dedicated power to your graphic cards. This unit is about as large as a normal power supply and fills two 5.25 inch drive bays.
