Thermaltake has announced that the Toughpower GF3 1200W Snow and Toughpower GF A3 850W/1050W Snow will be available to purchase in September 2023 at a starting price of $129.99. Representing Thermaltake’s first ATX 3.0 PSUs in white, these are fully modular power supplies that feature 80 PLUS Gold certification and a native PCIe Gen 5.0 12VHPWR connector for delivering power to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards. Users will also find a Smart Zero Fan button next to the power switch for silent operation at lower loads.

Toughpower GF3 1200W Snow Features

  • Fully Compatible With Intel PSDG ATX 3.0 Specifications
    • Toughpower GF3 Snow series is fully compatible with Intel ATX 3.0 Specifications which supports up to 200% power excursion, reaches 60% low load efficiency and complies with required power supply timing standards. The GF3 Snow series can sustain up to 3x GPU power excursion and 2x total power excursion.
  • Made to Comply with the Latest Graphics Cards
    • As the power consumption of graphics cards has increased, so has their demand for power. The GF3 Snow series is designed to support NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, ready to supply the graphics card according to their different ways of connections.
  • PCIe Gen 5.0 Ready
    • Toughpower GF3 Snow comes with a 12+4pin connector to offer powerful and stable performance allowing the PSU to run next-generation GPUs naturally.
  • 80 PLUS Gold Certified
    • Tough power GF3 Snow series saves energy through its high energy efficiency up to 90% and is certified to 80 PLUS Gold. The series has been optimized to work with all generations of Intel’s processors to achieve maximum energy saving.
  • Ultra Quiet Smart Zero Fan
    • Designed with our Smart Zero Fan, the fan will not spin until the load exceeds certain percentage of the power supply, minimizing the fan noise.
  • <30mV Low Ripple Noise Design
    • Top-end build quality with low ripple noise. GF3 1200W Snow’s all ripples are lower than 30mV on +12V, +5V or +3.3V from 0% to 100% load to ensure a stable operation and keep your performance-critical components to function reliably for longer.
  • Extremely Strict Voltage Regulation
    • The voltage regulation of the GF3 Snow series complies with Intel’s standard +5%, -7% for major rails, and GF3 1200W Snow is set to no more than ±2% for major rails, providing steady clean power through exceptional voltage stability.
  • 100% High Quality Japanese 105°C/221°F Capacitors
    • Providing great durability as well as offering the highest stability, while remaining reliable.
  • High Amperage Single +12V Rail & High-Class Technologies
    • Powerful single +12V rail can properly deliver the power you need for the best compatibility. The use of LLC and DC to DC circuit design provides very stable operation and enhanced voltage regulation.
  • Superior Cooling Performance
    • GF3 1200W Snow features a 140mm fluid bearing fan to guarantee superior cooling performance.
  • Fully Modular Low-Profile Flat Cables
    • Offers cable selection for users while powering the system at an advantageous voltage. Low-profile flat white cable makes cable management easier, reduces clutter and increases airflow inside the chassis.
  • 80 PLUS Gold Certified and Intel C6/C7 States Ready
    • Toughpower GF3 Snow series saves energy through its high energy efficiency up to 90% and is certified to 80 PLUS Gold. The series has been optimized to work with all generations of Intel’s processors to achieve maximum energy saving.
