Thermaltake Toughpower W0133RU 1200W PSU

CONCLUSION

The Thermaltake Toughpower W0133RU 1200W PSU performed magnificently in all tests. Voltages for for the 3.3v, 5v, and 12v lines were almost spot-on, never reaching 2% of the 3% variance that Thermaltake allows for. This truly is quite remarkable. With 1200 watts of rock solid stable power, this unit will have enough juice and then some for the most demanding of users for some time to come. It may not be bulletproof but it sure as heck may be bulletresistant. The Toughpower name was aptly chosen for this power supply as it is darned near invincible. Thermaltake warranties it for a full five years and it is definitely worth the money. The Thermaltake Toughpower W0133RU 1200W would be a welcomed addition for anyone with a need for a high-end power supply, be it for mulitple video cards or a quad CPU or both. You just can't go wrong with the Thermaltake Toughpower W0133RU 1200W power supply unit.

FINAL THOUGHTS
