In recent months we’re getting to see more and more interesting products from Thermaltake. Just to clarify, we mean interesting in a good way. We only make that point just in case you were wondering. Despite producing gaming equipment, chassis and cooling solution Thermaltake are starting to carve themselves a very solid reputation for their power supplies. Having reviewed many of them before, we have never failed to be impressed.

In this instance, we take a look at the Thermaltake Smart RGB 500w power supply. At 500w this sits perfectly for the vast majority of gaming PC requirements. This is particularly with the more modern processors which are designed to run at much lower power requirements than older models. The Thermaltake Smart RGB is an inexpensive, non-modular power supply which is ideal for those looking for the essentials to get going in their build. The impressive RGB effects though shouldn’t confuse you into thinking this is just a basic power supply. It’s actually got a lot of bells and whistles that wouldn’t look out of place for those who are big fans of system lighting.
