Conclusion: Thermaltake has produced another winner in their product line. During load testing at a room temperature of 66.4 to 66.6 degrees F as verified by calibrated Fluke 52 digital thermometer, I found virtually no variance in the specified voltage rails as depicted in the 3 images above. Testing with software programs such as Motherboard Monitor 5 or SpeedFan showed similar results. Personally, I always recommend checking your voltage rails through the use of a digital multimeter, and never to rely on software programs or BIOS voltage outputs alone.

I found the Thermaltake PurePower Power Station 520W PSU modular power supply to be a great product in nearly every aspect, from product design and marketing to stability under load, and noise levels which were quite tolerable in every day usage. As much as I tried to bring the Power Station 520W modular supply to it's knees, I failed.

One qualm I have with the product, is what was mentioned previously in this review about the amount of wasted space in the Power Station Terminal. I think users and enthusiasts would greatly appreciate a small LCD display showing power usage, and the individual voltage outputs on the voltage rails of their choice. Only one other nit picking item remains, and that is the lack of adjustable potentiometer's for the +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails.

I have awarded the Thermaltake PurePower Power Station 520W modular power supply system the Driverheaven Heavenly Hardware Silver Award. It's a fine product at a good price point, and will work well in any type system you can imagine.
