Thermaltake Toughpower PF3 1200W PSU Review

Packaging & Accessories

The box is nicely designed, with the usual Thermaltake grey and black aesthetic, a nice clear photo of the power supply right on the front, and all key features are listed, such as the PCIe Gen 5 and ATX 3.0 support, Japanese Capacitors, and the 10-year warranty.

Around the back, there’s a good run-down of key features, and some graphs showing you the efficiency, ripple and other aspects of the performance, as well as a list of all the included cables and connectors.

The cables all come in their own protective bag, allowing you to keep them protected if they’re not being used.

The cables are just bundled tightly together when you first take them out.

However, if we separate them out, it includes everything, if not more, than you’ll likely need.

• 1x Main Power Connector (24Pin): This is the primary cable that connects to your motherboard to provide power. (600mm long)
• 2x ATX 12V (4+4Pin): These cables connect to your motherboard to provide power to the CPU. (650mm long)
• 2x PCIe (6+2Pin): These are for your graphics card(s). You get two cables, each with two connectors (one 6-pin, one 8-pin), offering flexibility for different GPU configurations. (500mm + 150mm long)
• 1x PCIe (6+2Pin): A single cable with one 8-pin connector. (500mm long)
• 1x PCIe 600W (12+4Pin): This is the new 12VHPWR connector designed for high-powered PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics cards. (600mm long)
• 3x SATA: Each cable has multiple SATA power connectors for your SSDs, HDDs, and optical drives. (500mm + 150mm + 150mm + 150mm long)
• 2x Peripheral: These have the classic 4-pin Molex connectors, often used for older devices like case fans or optical drives. (500mm + 150mm + 150mm + 150mm long)
• 1x FDD Adapter: This is for a floppy disk drive, which is very rarely used these days. (150mm long)
