Pros and Cons about Thermaltake

REDJARHEAD · Dec 30, 2013

How do I find the make and model of this Thermaltake TR2600w cable management.

Who's actually right in knowing the facts about Thermaltake PSUs?

I know this product has been given bad remarks and I know I don't want to risk destroying this new Asus M11BB Win 8 Computer

Btw, I bought this PSU since it said as it claimed "600w" for the sake of running it with the Geforce GTX660 Ti.

I don't want my newly components to be damaged because of a crappy product especially the graphics card

If you guys are gonna recommend better PSUs, please let me know how fast the shipping is going to be if I were to order it through certain websites since I want something good ASAP

There are 3 versions of the unit , do you have the link to it.

I have the 700w model. There are 3 TR2s however.
I have had no issues with it, but alot of people say its bad. The dual 12v rail isnt the best to have. the "cable management" is just longer cables taking up more room. It also has no 80+ rating.
I would say its good to hold you over, but should be replaced when you can.

It will run a 660 ti.

A Geforce GTX 660ti needs - 24A on the 12v rail and a 450w power supply.

on the box, it says the Geforce GTX 660 Ti requires "a minimum 500w or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12v current rating of 30 A)3

Dark Lord of Tech · Dec 30, 2013

Requirements are overstated.

Dark Lord of Tech · Dec 30, 2013

Yours will run it , but here's a nice unit made by SEASONIC.

44A on the 12v rail.

I agree with your solutions, but I am concerned how fast the shipping is with the websites that people send me. Yes Corsair, Antec, Seasonic products are good. I am also concerned about this damn thermaltake that says 600w. Is it going to run 600w or something less than 600?

Before I jump to conclusion, I don't want my computer giving out on me due to fried components. Because there has been bad reviews about thermal take and I don't want things going bad before their time.

I'll take the other solutions into consideration for sure, but I want to make sure the thermaltake can run the GTX 660 Ti since I am really concerned if the thermaltake can output its claimed wattage

The thermal take is a "cable management"

REDJARHEAD · Dec 30, 2013

What do you mean?

Dark Lord of Tech · Dec 30, 2013

The Thermaltake will run your specs , but I'd go with the XFX which is made by Seasonic.

REDJARHEAD · Dec 30, 2013

where can I find this link? I never opened the box yet

The FSP is a good one.

REDJARHEAD · Dec 30, 2013

That is good and all sir, but will this have the capability to put out its required amperage to run this gpu?

Also, where do I find the model of the thermaltake?

Do I need to open the box and pull out the PSU in order to find the model?

Dark Lord of Tech · Dec 30, 2013

Should be on the box in most cases , but will be on the actual unit for sure.

REDJARHEAD · Dec 30, 2013

Model: TR2-NL2NC

UL Number: 303666

This is yours and it has the power to run your specs.

Not the best of the bunch , but will power your system

REDJARHEAD · Dec 30, 2013

For how long tho is what I am concerned as well. For the sake my computer components, how much watts do you think this PSU can provide if it is known to not give its maximum 600w?

Dark Lord of Tech · Dec 30, 2013

Personally, I wouldn't trust it to last very long.It's not that great.

Claims 600w , but I doubt it.

REDJARHEAD · Dec 30, 2013

So, this means that 3 versions of the tr2 are all garbage then? D:

Dark Lord of Tech · Dec 30, 2013

The FSP one is ok , but as are most thermaltakes , not great power supplies.

I build with Seasonic made units.

REDJARHEAD · Dec 30, 2013

How can I tell if mines is FSP???

Thanks for you help so far man

Also, you said the thermal take can power my system, but how long until it burns the GTX 660 Ti?

REDJARHEAD · Dec 31, 2013

The thermaltake that I have is TR-600 and not a W0388RU, nor a TR-600p <---- I know the 600p is the best

Do you think if I were to put this psu in, do you think it would fry my other components as well as my graphics card?
