Topower Tiger Series 1200W PSU

Introduction

If you happen to be new to quality power supplies (PSU's), you may actually have no clue who Topower (AKA Epower) is. With brands like Antec, Thermaltake, PC Power & Cooling, and Corsair dominating the power supply market, Topower is easily overlooked. The fact is, Topower has been making quality power supplies since 1986 when the company first formed. Being no stranger to power supplies, Topower is definitely a brand to keep on your list when building that next rig. If your current rig or future rig will have a demand for 1000+ watts, Topower's Tiger 1200W PSU might just be the PSU that fits your bill.

Topower's Tiger Series 1200W power supply is an affordable 1200W 80Plus certified PSU that comes with plenty of unique features. The most notable features are the modular power connections and much needed SATA to Molex adapters. Along with a very nice modular system, Topower made sure to give plenty of length with their cables, a massive 26 inches of length per cable. Aside from those features, this PSU is Quad SLI ready, has an Active PFC, comes with six 12v+ rails and even has a rail switch to toggle between six and single rail modes. Considering this PSU goes for $259, its hard to see why you would look elsewhere when you see that price. With so much history behind Topower, we were curious to see how the Tiger Series 1200W PSU compared to Sapphire's new 1250W PSU and Thermaltake's TR2 1000W PSU. Before moving onto testing, lets check out the specifications to see what this PSU is capable of.
