Packaging

The box for the Toughpower SFX 450W is really simple and to the point. Everything Is in black or grey and the cover of the box has a photo of the power supply on it. They have the Thermaltake branding up in the top left corner and Toughpower branding up top and down at the bottom with the wattage. In the middle, they did highlight a couple things like the zero RPM smart fan, fully modular design with flat cables, 80 Plus Gold certification, and the impressive 7-year warranty. On the back of the box, they have graphs showing the power efficiency breakdown as well as a graph showing the fan RPM profile. There is a small output specification listing and they have photos of each connection type with the number of connections of each that the power supply is capable of. Basically, they don’t mess around with any marketing fluff and show you exactly what you need to know if you were shopping for this power supply I a retail store.

Inside the power supply comes wrapped up in bubble wrap with all of the cables and accessories tucked in next to it. I will go through all of the modular cables in the next section, but you do get a nice power cable, four zip ties, and four black screws to install the PSU. They also include an ATX to SFX adapter plate. Silverstone includes one with most of their models but they aren’t painted at all and Corsair doesn’t include one at all. So it’s a nice touch to have a black adapter plate in case you want to use this power supply in a case that is designed for an ATX power supply. I’ve done this a few times and it always gives a lot more room for larger video cards or more airflow. For documentation the include a small paper with warranty information and a quick guide with installation instructions and a list of everything that should come in the box.

If you like the small form factor builds, you should be excited that Thermaltake now has an SFX power supply available. Not only for the variety, but for what it could mean with future case options as well.
