Thermaltake's power supplies lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Key Features
- Zero Cable Platform: Farewell to messy cables! We have connected the back panel and the PCB with a copper plate for better heat dissipation and impressive output power quality.
- Ultra Quiet 140mm Hydraulic Bearing Fan: Featuring a 140mm hydraulic bearing fan with intelligent RPM controls to help guarantee superior cooling performance and near silent operation.
- Smart Zero Fan: Designed with our Smart Zero Fan, the fan will not spin until the load exceeds 30% of the power supply, minimizing the fan noise.
- <30mV Low Ripple Noise: All ripples are lower than 30mV on +12V, +5V or +3.3V from 0% to 100% load to ensure a stable operation and keep your performance-critical components to function reliably for longer.
- Extremely Strict Voltage Regulation <±2%: The voltage regulation, more strict than Intel’s standard ±5% for major rails and ±10% for -12V, is set to no more than ±2% for major rails to meet the highest performance.
