Thermaltake Toughpower PT 1200 ATX v3.1 PSU Review

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.

Product Photos

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. At the unit’s front side you will find the AC receptacle and the power switch.

The modular panel has 13x sockets, including two native 12V-2×6 headers.

Modular Cables
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 24 pin (550mm) 1 1 16-20AWG No
4+4 pin ATX12V (700mm) 2 2 16AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (600mm+150mm) 2 4 16-18AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (600mm) 1 1 16AWG No
12+4 pin PCIe (600mm) (600W) 2 2 16-24AWG No
SATA (450mm+150mm+150mm) 2 6 18AWG No
4-pin Molex (450mm+150mm+150mm+150mm) 1 4 18AWG No
AC Power Cord (1410mm) – C13 coupler 1 1 14AWG

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. The pair of 12V-2×6 is a pleasant surprise, although it is overkill to have both set at 600W.

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.
