Introduction

Out of all of the 1000W+ power supplies that we have checked out there was one that stood out among all of the rest, the Thermaltake ToughPower 1000W Modular Power Supply. Today we have its big brother the ToughPower 1200W. It is basically the same power supply just beefed up with 200W more power. We will see if the extra 200W affects the performance of the ToughPower or if it will be flawless just like the 1000W. Read on to find out.
