Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 1200W PSU Review

Box & Bundle

The box provides good protection. At its face, we find a quarter-shot of the PSU and a series of badges describing the product’s main features. If you want more details, look at the backside.

All intake and exhaust grilles are punched into the PSU’s chassis. The fan’s grille is too restrictive, not helping for optimal airflow. The PSU’s ultra-small dimensions, for a 1200W unit, also don’t help airflow since the main PCB will be cramped with components. But I will look at that later, during part analysis.

Cables

Modular Cables
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 20+4 pin (600mm) 1 1 16-18AWG No
4+4 pin EPS12V (650mm) 2 2 16AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (500mm+155mm) 2 4 16-18AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (500mm) 1 1 16-18AWG No
12+4 pin PCIe (600mm) (600W) 1 1 16-26AWG No
SATA (500mm+150mm+150mm+150mm) 3 12 18AWG No
4-pin Molex (500mm+155mm+155mm+155mm) 1 4 18AWG No
FDD Adapter (155mm) 1 1 22AWG No
AC Power Cord (1400mm) – C13 coupler 1 1 18AWG

The PSU has enough cables and connectors to deliver its full power smoothly. Cable length is sufficient, although it would be better if the EPS cables were a bit longer, reaching or ideally exceeding 700mm. Lastly, the distance between all peripheral connectors is ideal, at 150 to 155mm.
