I mentioned earlier in the review that the Thermaltake Toughpower XT 750w was an 80Plus certified power supply and the specs show that it does indeed have that certification so let me explain. In order for a company to achieve the 80 Plus certification for their power supply they must demonstrate that the power supply maintains a minimum efficiency of 85% at typical load (50% load, i.e. 375 W) and a minimum efficiency of 82% under light (20% load, i.e. 150 W) and full (750 W) loads.
A Closer Look:
The box that the Thermaltake Toughpower XT came in was pretty detailed, definitely much better than the simple brown box that the NZXT beta case came in…
It is good to see company spending money on the packaging their product comes in for marketing reasons because when you see this product in a retail store you will be more apt to pick it up and actually purchase something that looks good instead of a simple box.

This is the box within the box. |
Packaging aside companies need to stop putting out power supplies that are non modular. Every power supply that I have used that is non modular always has a large set of cables that end up being extra because not everyone needs 10 SATA power cables. I understand the large debate over modular VS. Non modular power supplies, it basically comes down to what the consumer needs. Building and marketing two versions of a power supply just to fit the needs of the two niche markets is just crazy that money should be spent to create a better modular power supply with the quality of the non modular counterparts.

just to the right of the power switch is the fan delay switch a three setting switch that will set the delay for the fan power off. Three positions are available “Auto” 15 seconds and 30 seconds. |
while its great that the cables are wrapped in mesh to maintain cable integrity it is unfortunate that it does not extend into the power supply housing. |
|
This brings me back my original complaint of how much room is taken up by all the additional and most of the time unnecessary cabling. |
