After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Thermaltake Toughpower 775W Power Supply Review
Author: Dennis Garcia
Published: Wednesday, June 30, 2010
Conclusion
All things considered the Thermaltake Toughpower XT 775W is a nice upgrade over some of the older Toughpower units and is configured to handle a number of systems including enthusiast and gaming rigs. The only real limitation comes in the form of PCI Express video card support which, given the current modular plugs, is limited to only 2x cards. (Assuming dual power sockets per card),
