Zaključak

O Thermaltakeovom Toughpower 1200 CableManagement napajanju teško možemo reći išta negativno. Napajanje sukladno specifikacijama nudi izuzetno dobre performanse i snagu koju će malo koji korisnik zaista moći iskoristiti. Ipak, ako se spremate u nabavku super-moćne konfiguracije s četverojezgrenim procesorom, hrpom radne memorije i diskova te nekoliko high-end grafičkih kartica, 1200-vatni Toughpower nesumnjivo je odličan izbor. Ako ćemo tražiti iglu u plastu sijena, 1200-vatnom Toughpoweru možemo prigovoriti samo nešto bučniji ventilator (dakako, pod visokim opterećenjem) te to što dodatni 12-voltni EPS kabeli nisu modularni. Premda dva ovakva kabela omogućavaju upogonjivanje serverskih ploča s dva procesora, činjenica je da ovakve ploče jednostavno nisu komad hardvera koji će se naći u kućištima zahtjevnih igrača.

Toughpower 1200 CableManagement nažalost nismo uočili u hrvatskim trgovinama, a prema cijenama u inozemstvu vjerojatno bi koštao između 1600 i 1800 kuna što je fer cijena za napajanje ovakvog tipa. Jamstveni rok, barem u Hrvatskoj, je vrlo kratak, a iznosi godinu dana što je osjetno manje u odnosu na konkurentske proizvode koji nude barem dvije ili tri godine.

Conclusion

We are hard pressed to say anything negative about Thermaltake’s most powerful PSU, Toughpower 1200 CableManagement. Just as its specification say, this PSU offers excellent performance and insane amount of power, so much that most users won’t even use half of it. On the other hand, if you searching for that perfect PSU that is able to comfortably power you new shiny quad-core configuration with lots of hard disks, memory and mutiple high-end graphics card, Toughpower 1200 is without a doubt an excellent choice. From a perfectionist point of view, we would like this unit even more if fan was a bit quieter under load and if two EPS cables were made modular, but considering typical usage scenarios for PSU’s powerful such as this Thermaltake model, mentioned deficiencies aren’t really that important.

Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find Toughpower 1200 CableManagement in croatian computer stores, only its less powerful brothers (Toughpower 850 for example). According to prices outside of Croatia, estimated price of the unit would be between 1600 and 1800 kunas, including VAT (or 220 to 250 €). In general, that is pretty fair for a PSU with power in excess of one kilowatt. Warranty period, at least in Croatia, is extremly short – only one year. That is significantly shorter that warranty period of similar products from other brands which usually offer two, three of five years.
