CONCLUSION

   Thermaltake has done it again by introducing a high-end power supply unit in the market with huge maximum output capacity capable of powering even the most power hungry Tri/Quad graphics cards systems while at the same time delivering 80 Plus Platinum efficiency with near excellent rail stability. The Yate Loon Electronics 140mm fan was a nice surprise since its speed gets adjusted according to the heat of the interior and is independent to the current load level. Perhaps the most innovative feature of the TP-1275M is the S.P.T status indicator which although it may not be something impressive still it could come in handy. Of course just like most similar power supply units the ToughPower XT Platinum 1275W is quite large (200mm in length) which automatically means it's not suitable for small midi towers (although i doubt anyone would purchase such a PSU for a midi tower).

   As with most high wattage power supply units in the market the price tag of the ToughPower XT Platinum 1275W is set somewhat high and so it currently retails for around USD300 inside the USA and 240Euros inside the EU. Still even though it's indeed quite high other similar units like the Platimax 1200W by Enermax cost even more so i guess that's yet another victory for Thermaltake. Bottom line if you really need this kind of maximum output capacity and you can afford the extra premium for state of the art components and an 80 Plus Platinum certification then you can't really go wrong with the ToughPower XT PLATINUM 1275W by Thermaltake and that's why we are also throwing our Platinum award at it.
