Thermalright TR-TGFX 550 ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Box & Bundle

The box is plain, but its main job is to protect the product, and it succeeds in that. At the internals, the PSU is surrounded by packing foam.

The design is typical since this is a PSU and not a car! Indeed, a unique PSU design attracts attention, but you won’t see it again if you install it in your system, so there is no point in spending a lot on the external design—at least in my opinion.

Around the back, you will find nine sockets. None supports high-power connectors (12V-2×6), but this doesn’t prevent the PSU from meeting the ATX v3.1 requirements for units without high-power connectors. It just peaks at 150% transient loads instead of 200%.

Cables

Modular Cables
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 20+4 pin (300mm) 1 1 18-22AWG No
4+4 pin EPS12V (400mm) 2 2 18AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (400mm+120mm) 1 2 18AWG No
SATA (120mm+120mm+120mm) 2 6 18AWG No
4-pin Molex (120mm+120mm+120mm) 1 3 18AWG No
AC Power Cord (1100mm) – C13 coupler 1 1 18AWG

All cables are short since the unit is destined for a small chassis with restricted internal space, so longer cables would probably create issues. Given the PSU’s capacity, the number of cables and connectors is adequate. Lastly, a luxury note here: all cables are individually sleeved!

  1. Can you do a review of the Thermalright TP-1000/1200? There’s a frustratingly low amount of information about it. Thanks in advance.
