                 There seems to be a never ending flow of power supplies recently mainly because of the i7 and AM3 platforms being released into the market. Most companies are starting to introduce high output power supplies which range from 850W to 1250W, some even take it up to 1500W in order to just prove that they can. Here at Real World Labs we have continuously explained the need to own a good power supply especially if you own a very good system made by high end components. The solution which we have here today is by Thermaltake and it is the top model of the newly introduced Toughpower XT series.

 

 

                   Since the beginning of Thermaltake in 1999, it has been at the forefront of creating new and exciting products at a time where most computer users were provided little to no choices for components that may seem irrelevant, but in reality crucial to the performance of a PC. Thermaltake Server Series solutions, with years of thermal experience and industry leadership, sets its goal on reforming total thermal management in server segment by formulating the perfect mixture of versatility, efficiency and thermal management with each respective server product category: Rackmount Chassis, Server Fixed & Redundant Power Supply and Server CPU Cooling Management Solutions.

                    Another World Wide First is upon us since it is the first global review of the Toughpower XT 850W variant. The XT 850W which we have here today is the modular version which is not only 80Plus Bronze certified but it is also Eco Friendly certified. Other than that Thermaltake backs the device with a 5 Year warranty. The most revolutionary feature found in the XT line of power supplies is the new S.P.T Indicator that provides you info about Standby mode, Power signal and Device temperature. Surprisingly Thermaltake has not made a bigger power supply but that may soon change.
