Thermaltake ToughPower GF3 1000W, ATX 3.0

Das Thermaltake ToughPower GF3 1000W ATX 3.0 verfügt über eine gute Ausstattung an Kabeln und auch die Qualität sowie die Verarbeitung dieser als auch des Netzteils selbst sind sehr gut. Nur beim 12VHPWR-Kabelstrang würden wir auf den Sleeve verzichten, da es den Strang nur unnötig dicker macht. Dadurch ist es im Gehäuse schwerer verdeckt, zu verlegen.

The Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1000 is an ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 ready power supply, meaning that you won’t have to mess with 12VHPWR adapters to power the new generation NVIDIA graphics cards, so you won’t face any issues like the ones that some users had with the provided adapters. I always advise against using adapters, especially when high-power output is expected. The slightest problem in build quality or an installation error can be proven fatal when 500W or more have to pass through a single cable.

Not so long ago, I would have said a 750W-850W PSU would be more than enough for most users. But with today’s power hungry CPUs and GPUs, I would definitely recommend a 1000W PSU or higher. If you’re planning to build a new system with latest processor and graphics card, make sure you get yourself a power supply that can meet the power requirements of your system.
