Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 1050W Power Supply Review
Peter Donnell / 1 year ago
Thermaltake has one of the broadest ranges of power supplies on the market, with affordable low-wattage models, right up to their flagship 1000W+ Toughpower units for enthusiasts, and plenty more in between. The model I’m looking at today isn’t their most high-end, but it’s certainly up there in terms of capabilities. The ToughPower GF A3 features a 1050W output, with 80 Plus Gold efficiency, meaning it’s more than up to the task of powering any combination of the most powerful CPU and GPUs on the market today, with plenty of power to spare.
It meets the latest ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5.0 standards too, which means it comes with the latest 12VHPWR connector, which is perfect for the latest cards from Nvidia and provides a level of future-proofing too. You get lots of other premium features too, such as a Japanese main capacitor, fully modular cables, 80 Plus Gold certification, a premium Thermatake 120mm fan, and a powerful single +12v rail design with LLC and DC to DC circuitry. Furthermore, it’s available in black, or in white thanks to their Snow Edition, and it’s the gorgeous white version that we have in for review today.
