Thermaltake 750W TR2 RX Power Supply Review

Well, that was a mouthful.  Glad I didn’t have to pull all that out of my own arse.  Could have been time-consuming.  Anyway, it’s time to open the box and see what’s what.  The outside of the box is plain white with pictures of the PSU and the TT logo on the front.  The bottom states all the information from above as well as more pictures.  Not an eye-catching box, but straight to the point.  I like it.  Opening the top, we find the PSU wrapped in bubble wrap with the instruction sheet folded on top of it.  Two black boxes share the inside of the box as well, one marked POWER CORD and one marked CABLE SETS.

This PSU is modular, so all but the most necessary cableswill be in the latter box.  Unwrapping the PSU from its protective cocoon, I get to see it in all its glory.  The casing itself is a deep gunmetal gray with THERMALTAKE embossed on the side.  The extra large 140mm fan takes up nearly all of the bottom (or top, if your PSU mounts in the bottom of your case) and has direct air flow to the integral parts underneath.  On the side with the cables, the ones that are permanently affixed are tied back with a twist tie.  Four modular ports for Molex, SATA, and FDD are colored in black and share the same area as the red PCI-e connections.

Using the provided set of screws, installation was a snap.  It’s only four screws, and if you’ve never done it before, and have the option, always install your PSU before you install anything else in the case.  It’s a pain in the rear to have to replace a broken heatsink or entire motherboard, not to mention your PCI/PCI-e cards, simply because your hand slipped and you dropped the damned power supply.  Not worth it.
