Thermaltake Toughpower DPS 750W Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage

Power supplies often quote as having various protection mechanisms such and the most important of these is Over Power Protection. In our testing we crank up the power draw until the power supply either shuts down (meaning the OPP mechanism is present and working) or blows up (meaning it is either not present or not working). We then note the maximum power consumption before the power supply shut down (or blew up).

The DPS 750W can do a peak wattage of 850W according to Thermaltake’s specifications but we found it can go even further than that before OPP kicks in. Around 1100W was possible.
