Know before you buy
Yes, the Toughpower PF3 is fully ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5.0 compliant. It includes a native 12VHPWR connector, making it ready for the latest generation of power-hungry GPUs without needing extra adapters.
The PF3 features a compact 140mm depth, which is shorter than many other 1200W units. This smaller footprint provides extra clearance for cable management in tighter chassis environments.
Yes, it is fully modular, meaning you only need to connect the cables required for your specific hardware configuration. This helps reduce clutter and improves airflow inside your case.
The unit uses a 120mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) fan paired with a Smart Zero Fan feature. The fan remains off or spins at very low speeds during light loads to ensure near-silent operation.
This power supply is built with 100% high-quality Japanese 105°C capacitors. These components are chosen for their superior stability and long-term durability under high-stress conditions.
An 80 PLUS Platinum rating indicates that the unit is highly efficient at converting AC power to DC power, resulting in less energy waste and lower heat output. This helps keep your system cooler and reduces electricity consumption compared to lower-rated units.
