THERMALTAKE voeding - Toughpower GF3 ARGB 850W Gold - TT Premium Edition

Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 ARGB Gold (750W/850W) is an ATX 3.0-compliant power supply designed for modern PCs. It includes a native PCIe Gen 5.0 16‑pin (12VHPWR) connector for next‑generation GPUs, a 140mm addressable RGB fan with 18 LEDs and 16.8 million colors, and fully modular low‑profile flat cables for easier cable management and improved airflow.

Advantages

The GF3 ARGB Gold series meets Intel ATX 3.0 requirements, supports up to 200% power excursion, delivers high efficiency at low load, and implements strict timing and hold‑up specifications. Its native 16‑pin PCIe connector can supply up to 450W for compatible PCIe 5.0 graphics cards. The unit uses 100% high‑quality Japanese 105°C electrolytic capacitors, features a high‑amperage single +12V rail, LLC and DC‑to‑DC topology for stable voltage regulation, and achieves 80 PLUS Gold efficiency (up to ~90%). The 140mm fluid dynamic bearing fan with Smart Zero Fan mode reduces noise, while addressable RGB lighting supports motherboard synchronization.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the Toughpower GF3 ARGB Gold into an ATX‑compatible case following standard PSU mounting procedures and connect the modular cables to the motherboard, CPU, drives and GPU as required. For PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics cards, use the native 16‑pin (12VHPWR) connector; follow the GPU manufacturer’s recommended wattage marked on the connector. Connect the 5V addressable RGB header on the motherboard to enable synchronized lighting control through the motherboard’s RGB software. Leave the Smart Zero Fan enabled for quieter operation under light loads.

Recommendations

Verify your chassis clearance and motherboard support for ATX 3.0 and 16‑pin PCIe connectors before purchase. When using high‑power GPUs, ensure your system power budget and cooling are sufficient; consult the graphics card documentation for recommended PSU wattage.
