Thermaltake are using a 140mm fan with the markings ‘TT1425B'. This is a quality rebadged Yate Loon D14BH-12 fan. It can produce a maximum airflow of 140 cfm @ 2,800 rpm.
The design is immediately recognisable as Channel Well Technology (CWT). This looks to be a very similar design to that used in the Corsair TX750W which we reviewed late last year.
The transient filter starts at the AC Receptacle with a pair of Y caps. There are X caps and two Y Caps alongside two CM chokes and an MOV.
There are three thick yellow wires (and several smaller ones) which transfer the +12V to the modular PCB.
The primary capacitor is by Matsushita (Panasonic), and is rated 390μF, 400V, 105°C. There is a small vertical PCB which is responsible for the +12V rectification.
All secondary capacitors are quality Nippon Chemi-Con units. Two parallel bridge rectifiers are bolted on a heatsink.
The hardwired cable is fully sleeved into the chassis, which will protect against long term fraying.
Thats a nice power supply, well priced too.
Interesting to read about the warranty periods, never really thought about it, but its important. How do Thermaltake warranty their products. do you go directly back to the store, or deal with an RMA via them?
No warranty support from Thermaltake. 5 emails over 5 weeks, no reply.
