Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 1000W Power Supply Review

Thermaltake has certainly come a long way over the last 10 years. Having once been viewed by many consumers as something of an inexpensive fringe brand, they are today one of the most recognisable names for PC hardware components. A factor that has undoubtedly been primarily driven forwards, at least in our opinion, with their consistent launch of new and exceptionally good power supply designs.

With this in mind, therefore, we take a look at their newly released Toughpower GF1 1000W. A supremely potent PSU packing masses of excellent features, and, not to mention, 1000 watts of power output, making this a highly suitable choice for enthusiast-level PC users!

Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 1000W

Coming under Thermaltake’s highly reputable ‘Toughpower’ branding, as the name might suggest, the GF1 takes a no-nonsense approach offering consumers all the features they want to see from a quality PSU design. While the bells and whistles and razzmatazz of RGB lighting might (in some views) be lacking, this power supply packs masses of excellent features that should easily manage to grab the attention of the savvy consumer.

Offering a fully modular cable design, an 80-Plus Gold efficiency rating, 100% Japanese capacitors, 1000 watts of power output, and a huge 10-year warranty, even on paper this already sounds like a fantastic proposition! – Better still, available in wattage output ranges from 650W all the way up to 1200W, there’s something for everyone in this series!
