The new 800 W model from Thermaltake Toughpower series is 80Plus Silver certified, promising high efficiency. Let's see if this new model is really a good product.

Here is a snippet: "Toughpower power supply series is around for a while now and Thermaltake has just added two new models to this series: 700 W (W0295RU) and 800 W (W0296RU). These two models are 80Plus Silver certified, promising an efficiency of at least 88% at typical load (i.e. 50% load), using an internal project totally different from other power supplies from the same series. In fact, these two models are manufactured by a different company, FSP, while other Toughpower models are manufactured by CWT. This is the first 800 W power supply from Thermaltake, but you have to pay attention because they now have two 700 W models on the same series, with the "old" model (W0105RU) presenting lower efficiency than the new one (W0295RU)."
