Thermaltake's Toughpower 750W cable management will handle anything you throw at it. Added to the fact that the power supply didn't budge under any of our tests, it also looks great as well. For those interested, the Toughpower looks incredible with its clear gloss/mirror finish and will nicely accompany any case you pick for it.  It actually looks surprisingly cool even from behind the case because you can see the gloss finish straight through the case cutout. The Toughpower feels solid, as if it were built from one solid metal piece. This is good as the fan is internally fitted and doesn't protrude at all which gives even airflow throughout the unit. The fan is massive at 14cm and can pull air out fast enough to keep the unit cooled at load output. The Toughpower doesn't feature any LEDs that will illuminate a room or flash excessively. Really, leaving LEDs out is inline with power supply's theme. From the modular design to the sleek paint job, in essense, this power supply is minimialist in nature. Nothing flashy, just raw clean cut power and plenty of it.

There is hardly a difference between the Thermaltake Toughpower Cable Management 750W and the regular version. Aside from the fact that the cable management verison sports a modular cable system that helps reduce case airflow problems and lessens the weight a bit, the performance of the two are near identical. As mentioned in the previous review, the four seperate 12V rail supplies are the cornerstones of the power supply which directly feed most if not all components that are plugged in. As proven during testing, the Toughpower runs solid on all counts, running on load with total stablility. And of course, it runs impeccably well during Crossfire testing which in itself trumps all other tests as proof of its quality.

The only question anyone should have before purchasing this power supply is its usage and price. For the majority of users, the Toughpower 750W cable management maybe overkill. Although the price of the unit seems to be dwindling recently and is around $170 -180 USD at many online retailers, it should only be used in the highest end system. But of course paranoia and overcompensation will drive users to go for the highest wattage output available. The Thermaltake Toughpower 750W cable management is one of best viable options for high end computing if you can afford it.  Good looks, quiet operation, modular cables, and solid power for SLI and CrossFire setups - that about sums it up.
