Packaging
The Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 1000W Power Supply will arrive in a tightly packed package. I slightly shook the box to see if I heard any of the product moving around inside. Everything inside the package was well place and nothing had been damage in the transit. The unit is plenty safe while being shipped.
The Cables
A Closer Look
The PSU has a solid construction and has fan grilles for cooling on the top (main ARGB fan), sides and rear. The power supply is fully modular. with 6 x 8-pin PCIE connectors for motherboard and graphics card, and 4 x 6-pin power connectors for SATA power and 4-pin Molex.
It also comes with a ARGB sync header that allows you to connect the 3-pin cable to the motherboard to give you that full ARGB control.
Other features include ‘Mode’ and ‘ Color’ buttons, which as the name suggests, allows you change the modes and colors of the RGB 140mm fan. Next to the mains power switch, you’ll find the Smart Zero fan on/off switch, which when enabled, pauses the fan to allow users to run the PSU is super slient mode. When the PSU detects heavy load … the fan will automatic turn on and continue to spin.
