Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 1000W Power Supply Review

Conclusion and Verdict

The power supply responded very well under full load. The load values were very tight. This power supply can handle even the largest power draws. I was using a Ryzen 3700X paired with a RTX 3070Ti. This combination is capable of drawing a lot of power. One of the biggest complaints about high wattage power supplies can be the size and this power supply has all this power packed into a small frame.

You also get the fully modular feature that allows you to use only the cables you need. This is almost a necessity if you are needing to save space or want reasonable cable management. There is also is a smart fan feature that is fully built into the power supply. You do have the option to keep the fan running with the flip of a switch. This can help with noise but honestly I rarely encounter a PSU fan that has been that loud. I am more concerned with keeping those internal components as cool as possible. The cooler those components the longer it will last.

Now for the big question will this power supply power the new cards? YES and some room to spare! Make sure you do your research and make sure you are able to meet the power requirements of your system when getting a new power supply.

One thing and the most important thing to remember when swapping out power supplies, IS NEVER REUSE CABLES FROM ANOTHER POWER SUPPLY! I would even caution this idea if its the same brand. I learned this the hard way in my past learning because I didn’t want to re-cable a case and come to find out some power supplies connectors vary brand to brand. Here is good explanation of what I am saying. Luckily when I did this I only lost some lights because the power supply was semi modular and that probably saved my mother board and CPU. Anyways take the time and use the cables that come with your power supply at all times!
