Thermaltake Toughpower PT 850 ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Box & Bundle

The box features a photo of the PSU on the front, accompanied by several badges highlighting key features, including ATX v3.1 compliance, a 12V-2×6 connector, and fully modular cabling. Inside, everything is neatly organized, and the included protection is sufficient. A pouch is provided for storing the modular cables—useful for keeping unused ones tidy. Finally, all documentation comes packed separately in a nylon bag.

The PSU has a compact form factor, and its perforated fan grille with large openings ensures strong airflow—an essential detail given the small PCB layout and high power output. At the front, the unit includes the AC input socket and a 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
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 (1410mm) – C13 coupler 1 1 18AWG

The cable lengths are generally sufficient, though the ATX cable could be longer—ideally 600mm or more. High-power cables use thicker 16AWG wires to minimize voltage drop under heavy loads. The 850W and 1000W models include one 12V-2×6 connector, while the 1200W version provides two.

The number of peripheral connectors is adequate, as additional SATA or 4-pin Molex plugs are rarely needed nowadays—most motherboards can accommodate multiple NVMe drives. The spacing between connectors is also well-designed for easy cable routing.
