Know before you buy
This certification guarantees at least 91% efficiency at typical loads. It means the unit wastes less energy as heat compared to lower-rated power supplies, which can lead to noticeable savings on your monthly power consumption over time.
The PSU features a built-in 32-bit microcontroller that tracks wattage, voltage, and temperature. You can view this data in real-time via the Thermaltake DPS G PC or mobile apps, allowing you to monitor your system's health and energy usage remotely.
Yes, it is highly recommended. Because every cable is detachable, you only need to plug in the specific cables your components require, which significantly reduces clutter and makes cable management much easier inside your case.
While it is optimized for Kaby Lake, the ATX 2.4 standard ensures broad compatibility with most modern desktop motherboards and processors. As long as your system fits the standard ATX form factor, this unit will provide stable, reliable power.
Japanese capacitors are widely considered the gold standard for power supplies due to their superior heat resistance and longevity. They provide better stability and reliability, reducing the risk of component failure over the lifespan of your PC.
Yes, through the DPS G software, you can remotely shut down your PC if you are away from your desk. This is a useful tool for managing energy usage if you accidentally leave your system running.
