![]() ![]() Although we can’t do complete load tests, we can provide relative information regarding variance and fluctuation of current and ripple on the rails, which is integral and indicative of the quality of a power supply. Since we don’t currently have access to an ATE load tester, a multimeter is used to show the PSU performance on the +3.3v, +5v, and +12v rails. Thermaltake TOUGHPOWER GF1 850w PSU: Performance and Load Testing The cables themselves are mostly low-profile flat cables and completely black in colour providing more overall aesthetic, reducing clutter and increasing airflow inside the case. The lid is lined with velcro, so it can be used to store and seal the cables you don’t need safely and securely. The TOUGHPOWER GF1 850w comes with all the cables in a canvas bag. The back-to-back design allows for easy installation and removal of the cables, even when installed in a case. The TOUGHPOWER GF1 850w is a fully-modular PSU, and the input bank is well-designed and clearly labelled here. On the rear side, we can see the power switch, a cover over the 3-pin plug that explains the second on/off switch, which is the switch for the “smart zero fan.” Turning this on enables a mode where the fan doesn’t turn on until it’s under load-keeping the unit as quiet as possible. Notice there are plenty of ventilation cutouts on the top, front, rear, and the sides above the labels indicating the GF1 has plenty of airflow throughout, especially when the “smart zero fan” mode is turned on. Taking a first look at the GF1 850w itself, it has to be said that it’s quite the aesthetic piece. ![]() We can also see the GF1 wrapped in a cloth cover on arrival. Opening the box, we see the PSU itself covered in foam, ensuring it survives the delivery in one piece. The rear goes into more detail about the efficiency, smart zero fan, low noise ripple design, strict voltage regulation, and connector and output specifications. In keeping with Thermaltake’s Premium branding, the black and grey box can be seen here with a picture of the PSU itself taking up much of the front of the box with a feature list on the right-hand side along with the name and 80PLUS Gold rating.
