Thermaltake has a handful of recent Toughpower PSUs on show at its CES 2025, and I’ve been over there to verify them out. First off, the Thermaltake Toughpower D2000, which is kind of actually too highly effective to be used in lots of American properties.
The D2000 is a 2000 W energy provide, which is double the really helpful capability to be used with an RTX 5090. It’s so highly effective that many US properties will not provide that type of wattage as customary from an on a regular basis outlet. Therefore, as Thermaltake spokesperson Mike tells me, it will not be bought there. Thermaltake does have a 1650 W energy provide out there as a substitute.
Europe and most different areas across the globe do, nonetheless, have the retailers to ship this type of energy, and we should always count on to see this PSU bought in some locations. Though even then, you must make sure your private home electrical retailers are as much as code, as that is a lot of watts to attract from a single plug. It’s simply plenty of watts usually, what are you planning to construct?!
This modular PSU comes with heaps of connectors, together with a bunch of SATA, PCIe, and GPU connections. There are 4 (4!) 12V-2×6 connections out there, although it is best to attempt to use every of those 600 W connections at full whack collectively… not even a 2000 W PSU can pump out that a lot energy.
Even for many workstation set-ups with a few GPUs, 2000 W ought to be loads. That’s finally what this PSU is meant for use for.

The second PSU value speaking about at Thermaltake’s sales space is the marginally extra wise Toughpower SFX 1200W. It’s for small type issue builds and is just 125 x 63.5 x 103.8 mm. Nevertheless, it places our 1200 W of energy and is rated to, await it, 80 Plus Titanium effectivity.
That’s top-shelf effectivity in an adorably small energy provide. I not too long ago used certainly one of Thermaltake’s Toughpower SFX unit in a small type issue construct for PC Gamer, and I used to be impressed it managed Platinum effectivity at 750 W. This factor is on an entire different degree. Paired with a next-gen RTX 5080 or 5090 of comparatively slim sizing, we might have the recipe for immensely highly effective compact PCs. Though thus far most high-end next-gen GPUs seem fairly giant, besides the Founders Edition.
