Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1650W, True 600W 12VHPWR Connectors on PSU & NVIDIA RTX 40 series, ATX 3.0/PCI-E 5.0 Ready, 80+ Gold, SLI/Crossfire Ready Power Supply, PS-TPD-1650FNFAGU-4, 10 Year Warranty

This atx 3.0 PSU is GREAT cost to performance value! At 1650W, it offers more power than you'll most likely ever need. But, that also means you can upgrade and add hardware to your rig without ever having to worry about power demands. It will handle the requirements of high-end gpus and cpus without dropping a sweat. It comes with plenty of cables for your components, and being atx 3.0 means you don't have to worry about using that annoying adapter that comes with 40xx series rtx gpus. Do yourself a favor and pick this little guy up. You won't be disappointed.

This power supply has crashing issues when the GPU is under load. It also has fan speed issues that seem arbitrary and almost unrelated to GPU loading. For example, when playing a game utilizing 99% GPU load, looking at complex geometry, the fan may not even be audible. However, looking at the ground with GPU load dropping to less than 95%, the fan ramps up to maximum speed and is extremely loud. The variable nature of this is actually much worse than a constant loud speed as this power supply can never decide which games, or which moments in which games to ramp up the fan. It is literally constantly going from minimum to maximum and back again. I RMA'd my first unit, used multiple 12V gpu cables to my 4090, used cablemod cables, used both 12V slots on the supply, and nothing would remedy this problem. However the biggest issue is the random crashing. Much like how this unit cannot decide how to use it's fan, it can also not decide which games under which loads to crash. I am one of the few people who bought and played Immortals of Aveum, and this game was an incredible pain to get through because my computer would constantly crash, just straight to black screen, with the GPU fan maxing out during a crash, and requiring me to hold the power button of the computer to get a complete shutoff before powering on again. Then the very next day I play Last of Us Part 1, which also maxes out my GPU load, 10 hours of playtime, no crashing. Look at the other 1 star reviews. You'll see this exact problem repeated in them: black screen crashing with fans maxing during crash. I do not recommend that anyone purchase this gpu, and wish I had gotten a refund earlier as now I am stuck with a paperweight that I am replacing with an MSI MEG AI1300P, by all accounts a similar but hopefully more stable power supply.

More than enough power to run any setup you have in mind. This currently powers an over locked 12900k and an MSI GeForce rtx 4090 Suprim liquid X along with a full custom water loop and 12 fans. Under full load, system pulls 1100 watts from this power supply. Power remains rock steady throughout.

I hope others read the reports instead of taking the rating for face value. I bought the 1650 unit, and many of the recent reports indicate people had their motherboards fried or issues arise due to this power supply. I did as well. I've built plenty of computers, and know what I'm doing. When I installed the power supply, replaced cables, and set it up, it fried right away. 3 loud pops. Luckily, nothing super important was fried on my machine, but some LEDs. I count myself fortunate. I requested a replacement, got it, but my trust in the brand is already at zero. I went with an EVGA unit instead, which is one I had in there already, and that worked fine. The one benefit of this unit is the 600W connectors for video cards, but damage was done. It's reported by others too. Please be mindful if you decide to purchase this brand, it may be just the 1650W units that are like this - but it's scary if you have a machine that costs upwards of $10k with a PSU that fries like this. I regret going with this brand in the first place, I hope others think twice.

If I don't need a special type of special power supply, this is my go to brand.

Worked great about 18 months. Recently the system began restarting abruptly in the middle of AI train runs. It has an Intel CPU and NVIDIA RTX 3090 GPU. After hours of system analysis and software updates, eliminating possible sources of the problem, the evidence points to faulty PSU that is not able to handle peak GPU draws despite having plenty of capacity on paper. It seems to me that something happened to the PSU recently that is causing these restarts after a few minutes of GPU load. Previously the system has been able to handle multi-day train runs at GPU capacity without issues.

The TT GF3 1650W seemed to output plenty of power for my setup. I run an overclocked Intel i9 13900K as well as an Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU. The biggest problem was the fan. Under load it sounded like it would lift off and hover somewhere being so loud. Randomly kicking to 100% when the CPU or GPU took on load. There is no way someone could run such a LOUD PSU in an office/desktop environment without annoying someone. I'm not sure if my unit was bad or if all the 1650's run like that but I decided to stay away and return.

Literally the worst 24pin I’ve ever seen in my life. Like $40-60 PSU’s have a better looking one. Although I am not keeping the stock cables I think people should see what they are getting. Every single cable is UNsleeved except both 12+4pin (16pin 12vhrpwr) cables. On top of that the way the 24pin mobo cable is laid out the 4pin / 4 seperate wires are miserable to deal with. This PSU is smaller in size than my previous HX1200 Platinum (all cables are sleeved) and it costs twice as much. First time I have gone with a different psu brand other than Corsair. I will be getting a Corsair brand once they release them but wanted this in the meantime to get me by. I haven’t ran tests yet but I can imagine this likely isn’t a full 1650w. I’d recommend it to anyone (I guess) but get a cable kit.

Bought this for one of my servers and it’s been working great so far.

Bought this to go with a 4090 back around Christmas. I got the 1650W, thinking about future proofing. First time buying Thermaltake, but already regret it. The fan in the unit behaves spastic. It's constantly spinning high, then low, then high, then low, without any type of pattern or anything. Completely random. I can't go more than 10 - 15 mins max, without it instantly shutting down entirely. I figured it may have been thermals for some reason, but it's quite cool upon immediate inspection. This may just be a dud of a unit, but fair warning. I read reviews mentioning the fans were loud which didn't concern me as my tower is far from my desk, but this fan sounds possessed. There has to be something wrong with this unit in particular. Update - July 18, 2023: I've come to confirm that this PSU gets knocked offline due to transient spikes. Reached out to Thermaltake support, twice, and was completely ignored on both attempts. I have no idea how a "Platinum Certified" 1650W PSU gets knocked offline by a 4090, but, there it is. Buy at your own peril.

It is working fine

Terrific
