Conclusion:

The Thermaltake Toughpower XT 750W power supply performed well in each of the subjected tests. The unit consistently maintained a stable voltage when loaded and was slightly more efficient than its competitor. This particular model (W0229RU) also came with cable management to help tidy up your PC case. Worth mentioning is the super quiet performance of this unit - you simply can't hear it running. So there you have it - quiet, stable, and efficient.



Searching the Internet shows that you do have to pay for this quality. Prices vary from just over $140 (at SuperBiiz.com) up to just over $200 (at Newegg.com). That is quite a range, but at the low of end of the scale the price rather appealing. Thermaltake would have a real winner here if they could get the price on this unit down at all stores.

For its solid performance and low noise operation the Thermaltake ToughPower XT 750W power supply earns the Bigbruin.com awards of "Recommended" and "Whisper Quiet".
