Thermaltake has announced its new Dockpower PSU series, which allows users to move their power ports to more accessible locations in their builds. It’s often been noted that power supplies are perhaps the most boring part of a build. After all, they rarely have fancy RGB or LCDs, and most folks install, plug things in, and want them to function quietly and be forgotten about until a system needs upgrading. While PC the PC industry has seen various front-to-back initiatives from casemakers, motherboard and GPU manufacturers, there hasn’t been too much effort put into changing the box that powers everything. Well, Thermaltake has an interesting approach with the Dockpower Fl series, which can make upgrading a whole lot easier for some when builds don’t permit easy access to ports. The user can remove the dock from the PSU to reach the cables at a more accessible place in the case and then reattach it to the PSU after they are all connected.
The 750W, 850W, and 1000W models are all ATX 3.1 compatible with a single PCIe 12+4 pin connector, while the flagship 1200W version supports ATX 5.1 with two PCIe 12+4 pin connectors. All are 80 Plus Gold certified and available in black or “Snow” colors and come with a 10-year warranty. The removable dock utilizes a server-grade 30μ gold-plating-thickness connector and A D-Ring screw to lock down the dock once it’s been reattached to the PSU. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
