The Thunderbolt Plus series comes in four different wattages ranging from 800W to 1200W, I will be taking a look at the smallest 800W unit. Looking at the power table, we can see that there is more difference between the Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt Plus units than features, every unit in the Plus series outputs all of it’s 12V power through a single rail which is fantastic news as it removes the pain of balancing rails, which may phase gamers a lot more than it would enthusiasts The unit outputs a total of 780W through its 12V rails which means that the unit is capable of providing almost all of it’s power to the all-important components such as graphics cards and CPUs when required. This unit can push 65A through a single rail which is a pretty hefty amount which requires a higher build quality to maintain stability- you can already see why this is the Plus version!
As you can see, the PSU comes with a good range of connectors allowing for up to two-way SLI or CrossFireX which is sensible for a PSU of this power. They do cable management a favour by using split pins such as the 4+4-Pin EPS and 6+2-Pin PCIe connectors to reduce unnecessary connectors and cabling. The braid is also of a good quality. My only criticism in terms of connectors is the lack of support for motherboards that require two 8-Pin EPS connectors which are becoming more common these days.
