  • Excellent ripple suppression
  • Excellent voltage regulation

  • Second EPS12V connector should be modular (−0.5)

Final comments: Thermaltake and CWT have done a great job with this power supply, and it really does check all of the boxes for us. Its performance, feature set and build quality are all excellent, and the 7-year warranty isn’t a feature that you’ll find in most power supplies. We just wish that Thermaltake wouldn’t hard-wire two 12V CPU power connectors.

Score: 9.5/10
