INTRODUCTION

   I recently had to visit a good friend of mine who wanted to build a brand new computer system and although his budget was somewhat limited i was surprised to see that he wanted to invest a good amount of that for a good CPU cooler an almost equally good power supply unit. Of course there's not much to do when you're on a tight budget (limited options really) but the bottom line is that i was very glad to see that someone who knows virtually nothing about computers is aware that these two parts/components are very crucial for any system. Quality and performance are certainly the two most important things/factors people look for when purchasing a power supply unit but looks also matter to some (primarily gamers) and the latest Smart Pro RGB 850W Bronze model by Thermaltake may actually deliver on all three.

   The beginning of every myth and legend is about dreams and desire: the challenging, creative and combative features of Thermaltake Group create an exciting and fascinating user experience to share with everyone, while allowing users to enter a selfless state in terms of function and potential. Thermaltake Group's 3 main brands: Thermaltake, Tt eSPORTS and LUXA2 have been merchandising throughout the world, and have successfully established 6 business footholds in areas such as Europe, America, Oceania, Japan and China, with 95 regional distributors and over 4000 premium retailers. All product planning is orientated by observation of global PC peripheral market and understanding of consumer demands. Thermaltake creates direct contact opportunities with resellers and consumers by participating major global ICT exhibitions and trade shows every year, and develop innovative marketing strategies for the promotions of new products. Meanwhile, Thermaltake incorporates the composite marketing system by making branch offices and regional distributors both the distribution channel and technical support or service center to provide instant support; by maintaining close contact with end users, we manage to strengthen corporate competitiveness and create the momentum for the growth of accomplishments. With its outstanding wisdom and strength Thermaltake Group is recruiting creative talents to build a cultural brand for the enjoyment of entertainment, e-Sports, technology and lifestyle!

   The Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 850W power supply unit (also available with 650W and 750W outputs) has a fully modular design (future proof), comes with an 80 Plus Bronze efficiency certification and has a peak output of 1007W (850W continuous). As expected by a high-end power supply unit (and one aimed at gamers) the Smart Pro RGB 850W features a single high-current +12V rail rated at 70.5A (can deliver up to 846W), silent Riing 14 RGB 140mm fan (256 colors with 5 modes), Japanese manufactured primary capacitor, flat modular cables and a good number of electrical protections including OVP (over-voltage protection), OVC (over-current protection), SCP (short-circuit protection), and OPP (over-power protection). So is this the power supply unit to get if you're a gamer looking for a model that can also add to the looks of your system?
