So im running around newegg, and i on the front page a 480 watt silent pw supply for 60 bucks from a namebrand heatsink manufacturer? Good deal but, to good if you ask me. Has anyone taken a chance on this bad boy?

Thermaltake psu's are very nice psu's...they don't have the massive +12V rail that, say, an Enermax would have, but they are very nice regardless. And they look sweet!

Yea it is a very nice looking psu. Seems well put togther, There heatsinks from personal exp are not very effective and louder then a mother trucker. Whats the lack of having a 12v gonna do to a new system with the massive pw requirements from the v-cards

My 420w Thermaltake PSU, I believe is crapping out on me. I've ordered the 480w one to replace it. The 420w uses a crappy old design from another company, but the newer models supposedly are all-new.
I've heard nothing but good about Thermaltake PSUs, but I can't say too well on any of their other products. I could recommend the 480w model.

I know they do great in a few systems that aren't OCed... the thing I like about em is they don't worry about it being silent, as sooo many of the new PSUs are. At least the line I've tried.. They have alot of airflow going through them which is great for cooling gurus, expecially if you count on air being taken from your HSF by the PSU

Well this gonna be my new system, im gonna pick a up a 3 gig p4 and over clock it to around 3.4. My friends stay really stable and at a low temp with a zalman heatsink. So i should shell out for an enerm?

I have one too, I was dissapointed at the leds though, the red one is good but the green and blue ar terrible they can hardly be seen at all, I dont understand why they would have a bright red, and dull green and blue
Apart from that its pretty sweet

I've been hearing good things about Tt PSUs aswell, but I've been wanting something with adjustable pots so as the psu you grows older I can crank up the voltages.
Anyone try this PSU:

Hey, i just bought this power supply from thermaltake. I thought it looks sweet, its enought power from me, and i'm not too worried about the lack of reviews on it because of all the good things i hear about their power supplies. the link is
Thermaltake Silent PurePower 410WOh, I also bought it because its pre-sleeved, black (matches my case which has a top acrylic panel

, and blue led like my other led fans. I'll write a review on it for sure when I get it!
