Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W Modular Power Supply Reviews

Wed 2009-12-30 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

BCCHardware and ThinkComputers have reviewed a brand new modular power supply, the Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W.

Let's see what they had to say:

BCCHardware:

"The Thermaltake TR2 TX 750w PSU is a decent piece of kit for a mainstream PC. This PSU comes equipped with one large 56A +12v rail and supports 4 PCIe devices - 2x 6-pin and 2x 8-pin. It is mostly modular and features a nice large fan that provides very good cooling to this unit under normal circumstances. When pulling 680W through this unit it stayed nice and cool and we had no stability issues at all. While it is not the most "noiseless" PSU we've seen, it stays within specification and would work on any mainstream PC on the market today and tomorrow. Overall, this PSU was solid and performed very well."

ThinkComputers:

"The Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W power supply is a decent entry-level PSU for users who need a quick swap or need an inexpensive power supply for a low to medium range system. Enthusiasts with lots of higher-end hardware will likely prefer one of Thermaltake’s more reliable and stable units.

The 80PLUS certification is great for office and audiophile computers which are often powered 24/7. The modularity is sufficient for casual gamers who don’t need the high-end power supplies on the market today.

ThinkComputers gives the Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W Modular Power Supply a 7 out of 10 score."

This is a decent power supply and it's a good price for a modular unit. However, for the same money, I would instead recommend the non-modular Corsair TX750, which is proven model and a consumer favourite.
