Under the Hood
Here are a few pictures showing the layout and components inside our review sample of the Toughpower DPS G 850W power supply. Thermaltake appears to be using Channel Well Technologies (CWT) this time around as their OEM for the new Toughpower DPS G 850W PSU. Note, this is a different OEM than the one used to build the Toughpower DPS 750W/850W/1050W models.
The power supply utilizes a modern design with LLC resonant converter topology to minimize switching losses and help increase efficiency. Two DC-to-DC converters are used on the secondary to produce the +3.3V and +5V minor rails from the +12V main section. Note the heavy orange and red wires carrying power from the DC-to-DC converters to the front modular connector board.
All of the electrolytic capacitors used inside the DPS G Series are high-quality Japanese made and rated for 105°C operation. The PSU incorporates a single primary capacitor made by Nippon Chemi-Con rated for 560uF, 400V and 105°C. The overall component layout looks good and is what we have come to expect from CWT.
Never thought I’d say this
Never thought I’d say this about a PSU, but this Thermaltake is absolutely gorgeous. Next I wanna see is a chassis that goes along with that retro look.
Hi Guys, Thanks for
Hi Guys, Thanks for explaining this port connection. The Tt documentation is rather light on the connection scheme. Best Regards,
