Thermaltake Toughpower 850W Modular Power Supply PS-STP-0850FNFAGU-1

Had to replace a PSU and this one did the trick. Works as it should.

The PSU works great. I can’t speak to reliability because I only just purchased it, but I don’t foresee any issues. As much as I’ve always been a proponent of Fully Modular PSUs, there’s no drawback to this UNLESS you want custom cables. The CPU and Motherboard power cables are built-in, so you can’t use custom cables. That said, CPU and MOBO power are things you always need, so there’s no reason to avoid semi-modular if you’re not using customs cables.

So far this power supply has been fantastic. I have previously bought other Thermaltake items, but had never really heard anything about their power supplies. I was looking for a fully modular supply to replace my EVGA 500W because I did not have enough room behind my motherboard tray to install an SSD with all the extra cables from the non-modular EVGA unit and the cable extensions I had on some of the leads. The cables of this unit occupy a relatively tiny amount of room compared to a non-modular unit. I was able to relocate a 3.5 inch hard drive to the back of my case (Fractal Design Nano S) and install the SSD in the front compartment. I was also surprised by the quality of the cloth bag that comes with the power supply to hold any extra cables.

The RGB is a nice addition considering the price and all of the other features included, but it isn’t the best implementation. The fan LEDs can either slowly cycle through all of its possible colors, display solid red, display solid green, display solid blue, display solid white (which isn’t a very pure white, it has a bluish tint to it), or be off. It most definitely cannot display more than one color at once as the product image would suggest. Perhaps in a future version of this power supply a better implementation of the RGB lighting would be to have a long press of the button change between the modes and preset colors (what the short press does now) and allow a short press to pause the color cycle in the mode that slowly changes between all the colors. That way it would be possible for the user to have a wider array of static colors if they do not like any of the presets.

As for noise, the power supply is not audible over the other case fans and my CPU cooler. I appreciate the inclusion of the smart-zero fan switch, but I always leave the fan on considering it does not add any noticeable noise and it allows me to use the supply as a secondary exhaust fan for my system.

So far the only drawback to this power supply aside from the aforementioned lack of full RGB customization is the red connectors for the PCI power cables and the sheer amount of colors on the stickers on both sides. For a product that claims to have implemented RGB as a way to let the user customize their color scheme, using these colors over black and white just doesn’t make sense.

Overall, this is a great power supply, especially for the asking price. If you are looking for a power supply that will add that extra little bit of flair to your PC, look no further, this is it.

It ain’t that much to talk about the prpduct itself, a well done TT PSU, good up to date features, good accesories, packaging and common warranty, also good to know that with the 650w I can go up to a rtx 4070ti super with no issues. Only complain would be that the shipping was made with the original box product basically bare naked only with a plastic sealed translucid cover, wich means the box looks like the beat the SHEET out of it, the insides were immaculate tho.

Capacitores de primeiro tier, cabos modulares de qualidade, zero fan e RGB. Excelente fonte!

I definitely recommend this psu, I’ve been using Thermaltakes power supply’s for about 4 years and they never fail or malfunction. The fan is quiet and the zero fan feature is great. The fan only needs to turn on when playing games on ultra settings, you have the option to keep it on always if your planning to use it as an exhaustl. I hooked the psu’s cables up to some white extension cables and everything works as expected. Rgb is nice if you have a case that shows it. The only problem I had was that the actual power cable was too short, only 5m. For most that’s more than long enough but my outlet is on the other side of my desk so it becomes a problem. Got the 850w version because it had two 8pin cpu connectors, great power supply that doesn’t add extra heat to your pc
