Thermaltake Toughpower XT 850W (Model W0230 RE)

"Toughpower XT, the most advanced and no-compromise power supply. Each power supply is individually tested to ensure utmost compatibility with all of today’s most advanced gaming processors such as Intel® Core™ i7 or AMD Phenom™ II series and power-hungry graphic cards from AMD or Nvidia®. Premium features such as FanDelayCool and S.P.T. Status Indicator give the users all-round control and visibility into the power supply’s performance and reliability. No matter what your critical application demands, Toughpower XT delivers an incredible breakthrough in gaming performance that is second-to-none."

12Vin1

As the +12V rails deliver the major power to many of the components in a modern PC system, it is important to ensure each +12V rail provides adequate current for the relevant components. Inadequate current in any rail or poor distribution of current among the rails may lead to serious compatibilty problems. Thermaltake understands your worries of the compatibilty between PSU and your system, so we implement a pure and powerful single +12V rail to provide the best compatibility for your PC.

The Thermaltake Toughpower XT 850W comes with a FanDelayCool feature. A three position slide switch on the back of the power supply, shown in the photograph, gives AUTO, D15 or D30 options that enables the user to manually set the duration of time the 140mm cooling fan will stay running after PC shutdown.

AUTO: Cooling fan stops immediately on PC shutdown.
D15: Cooling fan will keep running approximately 15-30 seconds.
D30: Cooling fan will keep running approximately 30-60 seconds.

Intel Core i9 (6C/12T)

Intel is not expected to launch its first hexa-core desktop processor until next year, but engineering samples of the 32nm Gulftown CPU is already out in the wild. One of the have found its way into the hands of overclocker Shamino, and he of course overclocked it to the very limit. Using liquid nitrogen and a pretty terrifying operating voltage of 2.02V all six cores were clocked to nearly 6.4GHz for a quick screenshot.

With the cores clocked at 5.9GHz the system completed one round of 3DMark Vantage Performance to measure the CPU performance. The result was 51,177 points, which you can compare to the CPU score of the current Performance Profile world record at 32,328 points.

Intel seems to have come a long way with the new manufacturing process, months before the actual launch of Gulftown and at the same time there doesn't seem to be many problems with performance of its first six-core CPU.
