Thermaltake Toughpower PF1 650w Platinum PSU Review

Ripple
Having reviewed many Thermaltake power supplies over the years, we know that one of the key aspects of their designs is low-ripple noise output. A factor that has, again, been confirmed with the Toughpower PF1. With the results largely being in single-digits, while you might not understand what this means (well, presuming you didn’t read our methodology) let me at least confirm that this is excellent. Particularly when you consider that the highest it got was 17.6 when the maximum allowed under EU standards is 50.
| Load (%) | 3.3V Ripple | 5V Ripple | 12V Ripple |
| 20 | 3.2 | 4.6 | 9 |
| 40 | 3.4 | 5 | 10.2 |
| 60 | 3.8 | 5.6 | 11.4 |
| 80 | 4.2 | 7.2 | 17.6 |
| 100 | 5.2 | 8.8 | 17 |
