Box & Bundle
The box features a photo of the PSU on its face, along with several badges showing features such as ATX v3.1 compliance, a 12V-2×6 cable, fully modular cabling, and more. Internally, the contents are neatly arranged, and the provided protection is adequate. A pouch is also provided to store the modular cables. It will come in handy to keep the unused cables. Lastly, in a nylon bag, you will find the complete paperwork.

The PSU’s dimensions are compact, and the punched fan grille features large perforations for good airflow. This is a nice design feature because the compact PCB and the unit’s increased max power require good airflow. On the unit’s front, you will find the AC receptacle and the power switch.
The modular panel has twelve sockets, including one native 12V-2×6 header.
| Modular Cables | ||||
| Description | Cable Count | Connector Count (Total) | Gauge | Cable Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATX connector 24 pin (540mm) | 1 | 1 | 16-20AWG | Tinned Copper |
| 4+4 pin ATX12V (700mm) | 2 | 2 | 16AWG | Tinned Copper |
| 6+2 pin PCIe (600mm+150mm) | 2 | 4 | 16-18AWG | Tinned Copper |
| 6+2 pin PCIe (600mm) | 1 | 1 | 16AWG | Tinned Copper |
| 12+4 pin PCIe (600mm) (600W) | 1 | 1 | 16-24AWG | Tinned Copper |
| SATA (450mm+150mm+150mm) | 2 | 6 | 18AWG | Tinned Copper |
| 4-pin Molex (450mm+150mm+150mm+150mm) | 1 | 4 | 18AWG | Tinned Copper |
| AC Power Cord (1400mm) – C13 coupler | 1 | 1 | 16AWG | – |
The cables are long enough, except for the ATX one, which ideally should be 600mm long or even longer. The high-power cables use thicker, 16AWG, for lower voltage drops at high loads. Lastly, the 1000W model comes with one 12V-2×6 cable/header, while the 1200W model has two.
The number of peripheral connectors is sufficient. There is no need anymore for more SATA or 4-pin Molex connectors, since most mainboards can take two or more NVMe drives, and the distance between the peripheral connectors is adequate.
Here cybenetics reports
850w which is not very good

1000w Malfunctioning protections that don’t engage in time before the minor rails experience a huge voltage drop out of spec.

Basically i wouldnt do none of these
Any chance for review Thermaltake SFX ATX 3.1 ?
If we have it in our database sure.
