It appears that the new chassis on Thermaltake's part is not the only product that the company has put together, as a new press release has unveiled three new power supplies intended for gamers.


Thermaltake's Level 10 case won quite a few awards for its unique build and large feature set, but it wasn't exactly affordable, not by a long shot.

As such, the company decided to reimagine it and created the Level 10 GT, a much cheaper case that holds onto the same compartmentalized construction.

Nevertheless, the product is still meant for gamers, and it appears that its maker figured it wouldn't hurt to immediately provide PSUs for such systems.

As such, it issued a press release in which it details the Toughpower Grand collection of power supplies, composed of three members, at least for now.

They have wattages of 850W, 1050W and 1200W, respectively, and quite a few high-end features, like 3oz copper PCBs (printed circuit boards), active power correction (active PFC) and double-forward switching circuitry (which reduces power loss).

Additionally, they have an efficiency of up to 93%, which earned them 80Plus Gold rating, a lower heat generation and 105 degrees C solid state capacitors.

Combined with their large outputs, they can handle more hardware than common units, hence why Thermaltake was able to give them eight 6+2-pin PCI Express power plugs.

Other specifications include an MTBF of 120,000 hours, 140mm fans and the FanDelayCool Technology, which ensures proper cooling by keeping the fan running for up to 15-30 seconds after system shutdown.

“Thermaltake’s flagship power supplies are now also catering to power-users and demanding eSports athletes whose gaming rigs are typically equipped with multiple graphics cards and multi-core CPUs,” says the press release.

All three PSUs come with 7-year warranties and but have yet to be priced or given an availability date.
