Jakob Aylesbury / 10 months ago

Thermaltake has revealed a new power supply in their product line which has been targeted towards the budget market featuring a bronze efficiency rating and sizes up to 750W.

Thermaltake Smart BX3 Bronze Series

Thermaltake’s new Smart BX3 Bronze series are non-modular power supplies which are designed to meet the ATX 3.1 standard for those creating budget gaming systems. They offer an 80+ Bronze efficiency in wattages of 550W, 650W, and 750W all capable of supporting up to 200% power excursion and up to 60% low load efficiency.

Internally the PSU features high quality 105°C/221°F main capacitors and comes with a single powerful +12V rail. It uses a DC to DC circuit design to optimize voltage regulation, plus has industry grade protections (OCP, OVP, UVP, OPP, SCP, OTP). All of these internals are cooled by a single 120mm fluid bearing fan with Smart Zero Fan mode to minimise undesirable noise.
