Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 ARGB Power Supply Review

Ripple
One of Thermaltake’s biggest marketing points in their more recent power supply designs has been keeping the ‘ripple’ noise levels to a minimum and, with the Toughpower GF1 ARGB, this is certainly no exception.
As you can see in the results below, they were all fantastically low. With a particular emphasis being placed on the 3.3v and 5v results which didn’t go above 4.4. Just to put this into context, EU regulations allow these to go as high as 50!
As such, you can clearly see that, once again, Thermaltake has really nailed the remit on their low-ripple standards!
| Load (%) | 3.3V Ripple | 5V Ripple | 12V Ripple |
| 20 | 2.8 | 3 | 8.2 |
| 40 | 3.2 | 3 | 14.4 |
| 60 | 4.2 | 3.2 | 15.2 |
| 80 | 4.4 | 4 | 15.8 |
| 100 | 4.4 | 4.2 | 17.2 |
