Thermaltake Technology, leading DIY computer components and power supply brand, today announced the latest addition to the popular "Toughpower" line of high-end PC power supply units, the Toughpower Grand Series. Its grandiose looks with a classy black finish make a clear statement through sheer appearance: this is quality pure. The proprietary 14cm dual-ball-bearing flower-shaped fan provides optimized ventilation for the inside components of the Tougherpower Grand unit. Being 80 PLUS Gold certified users don't just get a guaranteed eco-friendly PSU with more than 90% efficiency at 50% load and a 0.95 active power factor correction (PFC), but the electricity bill will noticeably drop as well. By virtue of their high-efficiency, the Toughpower Grand 650W (750W peak) and 750W (850W peak) models are ideally suited for high-end gaming and enthusiast PCs powering multi-core processors in combination with multi-GPU setups.

For demanding mission-critical environments and applications, industrial-grade components are indispensible and are being tested 24/7 at 50°C to ensure utmost stability and long-term reliability. The Japanese made and solid state capacitors withstand up to at least 105°C of heat serving as robust foundation for the Toughpower Grand Series. Additional DC-to-DC converter modules for +3.3V and +5V rails ensure low A/C ripple and great system stability. The convenient Cable Management allows you to only connect those components' power cords that you actually need, this helps to decrease cable mess and increase air circulation within the case.

The Toughpower Grand exclusive 12Vin1 provides for a powerful single 12V rail for best compatibility. The unique FanDelayCool feature enables the flower shape 14cm fan to keep running 15-30 seconds after system shutdown to prolong the lifetime of PSU components.

Toughpower Grand 750W (TPG-750M), MSRP US$ 189.90 = £131
Toughpower Grand 650W (TPG-650M), MSRP US$ 169.90 = £117

OCuk needs to stock some of these.

They look pretty sweet too (better than Corsair units imo). Time for some decent reviews but my next upgrade is going to be a w/c setup.
 
No, not within a next month or so. Need to save up some money first, there are other priorities too :p

I'll definitely post everything in this Forums when I'm ready. Depending on my budget I'll either try a dual radiator for my CPU or after upgrading a case, triple radiator for both the GPU and the CPU :)

Seem to of been 3 releases in the last week!

That is a good point,will be intresting to see the reliability rates in say,12 months time.
 
PSU's seem to be an easy market to get into, a few brands have fallen a way as well. It seems that gold is easier to get right now, which means we should have more competition on customer service and quality. For most of us who jumped into the 80 plus certified PSUs, its seems we are at a disadvantage, though the cost of a new PSU is much more than electricity bills

I don't need a source, it's quite obvious ricky. Corsair > Thermaltake.

Anyways, I absolutely adore these, hope they come out soon.
