Thermaltake is aiming to make high-efficiency power supplies more accessible with the launch of its new Toughpower PT Platinum Series. Available in 850W, 1000W, and 1200W capacities, these new units boast 80 Plus Platinum certification and full compliance with the latest ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, all while hitting some surprisingly aggressive price points.
The PT Platinum series uses 100% Japanese 105°C capacitors and an LLC + DC-to-DC topology for stable power delivery. Each unit features a fully modular design with flat, low-profile cables for easier routing. Thermaltake is also highlighting its “Zero Cable Platform”, which uses a direct PCB connection for the modular panel to reduce internal wiring. Cooling is handled by a quiet 135 mm hydraulic bearing fan with a zero-RPM mode for silent operation under low loads.
Important for modern builds, the PSUs are fully ATX 3.1-compliant, meaning they are built to handle the high-power excursions of the latest GPUs. Moreover, they come equipped with a native PCIe 5.1 12V-2×6 connector capable of delivering up to 600W over a single cable, enough to handle an RTX 5090 with ease.
Thermaltake appears to be pricing these units very competitively. The 850W model launches at just $129.99, the 1000W at $159.99, and the 1200W at $179.99. These MSRPs put the PT Platinum series firmly in territory usually occupied by 80 Plus Gold units, making them a potentially high-value option for builders seeking top-tier efficiency. The entire series is backed by a 10-year warranty.
