Thermaltake has officially launched the limited edition Steel Shadow Toughpower GF1 850W power supply, available in two color variants: black and white. This special edition features a distinct design inspired by Thermaltake’s “Yao Xiao Miao” theme, with patterns printed on both the outer box and one side of the unit, making it a visually appealing choice for custom PC builders.
Unique Design and Modular Setup
The Toughpower GF1 850W Limited Edition sticks to the ATX 3.0 standard and boasts a fully modular design, allowing for easy cable management and a cleaner build. It comes with custom embossed modular cables, adding both style and functionality to the package. While it follows the ATX 3.0 specification, it also includes a 12V-2×6 modular interface for future-proofing, although specific details about the power are not provided.
Reliable Performance and High-Efficiency Components
Internally, this power supply uses a LLC resonance + DC-to-DC conversion setup for better power efficiency and stability. The unit offers a single +12V output, is built with all-Japanese capacitors, and has been awarded the 80 Plus Gold Certification for its energy-saving capabilities.
Built-in Safety Features and Quiet Operation
To protect your system from electrical mishaps, the power supply is equipped with several safety features, including Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Over Current Protection (OCP), Over Power Protection (OPP), and Short Circuit Protection (SCP). These safeguards ensure that your hardware remains safe under various conditions.
For cooling, Thermaltake has included a 120mm seven-blade fan with an intelligent temperature control system. The Smart Zero Fan feature keeps the fan off when the system load is under 30%, ensuring quieter operation during low-demand tasks.
