Thortech Announces New Thunderbolt Series Power Supplies

Thortech, a company that has been in the industry for 15 years but few may have heard of, announced the launch of their new Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt Plus series power supplies. Each carries an 80Plus Gold certification meaning increased efficiency, modular connections, a 135mm fan, support for Crossfire and SLI configurations, solid state capacitors, multiple methods of protection and a five year warranty. The Thunderbolt series features quad +12 volt rails, while the Thunderbolt Plus features a single +12 volt rail with increased amperage. Both models come in 800, 1,000 and 1,200 watt flavours.

Most of that is typical fare by today’s standards, however Thortech has decided to go a little further with the inclusion of the iPower Meter. This 5.25″ drive bay insert allows users to view information on the power supply’s efficiency, wattage and power supply temperature in real time as well as allowing the user to change the fan speed.

Current online retailers have the 800 watt Thunderbolt unit for sale at just under $265 US while there is still no sign of the Thunderbolt Plus line up.

THORTECH announces the launch of the all new Thunderbolt & Thunderbolt PLUS Series high efficiency gaming performance power supply. The Thunderbolt PLUS Series is equipped with the patented innovative iPower Meter interactive PSU control panel which allows the user to monitor the actual efficiency, wattage, temperature and control the fan speed mode of the PSU, just to name a few. Thunderbolt & Thunderbolt PLUS Series are 80 Plus Gold and NVIDIA SLI certified, as well as compliance with the latest Intel and AMD CPU.
