Thermaltake releases Toughpower iRGB PLUS 1250W Titanium TT Premium Edition PSU
While you should never buy any low-quality components for a computer build, I can't stress enough how important it is to never get a cheap no-name power supply unit. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with saving money, but a chintzy PSU has the potential to not only cause instability, but it could even fry your other components. Heck, it could even cause a fire. Please stick with well-known PSU brands, folks.
One such company that offers quality power supply units is Thermaltake. Today, that manufacturer unveils an absolutely beautiful such offering. Called "Toughpower iRGB PLUS 1250W Titanium TT Premium Edition," it features Japanese capacitors, and as the name indicates, it offers an impressive 1,250 watts of power. The 80 PLUS Titanium certified PSU is fully modular, meaning you only need to connect the cables you need -- good for both appearance and cooling. Its RGB fan has 16.8 million colors, which Thermaltake claims is the first ever on a PSU. It even has a mobile app that can alert you to fan failure -- very cool.
"The Toughpower iRGB PLUS 1250W Titanium Power Supply Unit - TT Premium Edition uses a high amperage single +12V rails. It adopts Smart Zero Fan to optimize the thermal performance and minimize the audible noise, and high quality Japanese brand capacitors to deliver excellent reliability and stability. With a coverage of 10-year warranty, the Toughpower iRGB PLUS 1250W Titanium Power Supply Unit - TT Premium Edition permits a captivating way to make users systems match their intended color scheme and gives best-in-class, mute operation for all kinds of chassis," says Thermaltake.
The company further says, "Coming with high-quality components, this fully modular member is equipped with the patented ultra-silent, 16.8 million colors Riing 14 RGB fan and 12 controllable single LEDs, featuring seven lighting modes (Full lighted, Flow, RGB Spectrum, Ripple, Blink, Pulse and Wave), and each lighting mode features three color modes (RGB, Single and Off mode) and four light speed options (Slow, Normal, Fast and So Fast)."
Thermaltake further explains the RGB lighting options in detail below.
