Thermalright TR-GL1000-W PSU Launches for Around $64

Thermalright added a new power supply option for builders who need high wattage without the premium price tag. The TR-GL1000-W offers 1000W of power at a cost that undercuts most competitors in this segment. This launch matters because it gives PC enthusiasts a budget-friendly path to build systems with modern GPUs and CPUs. Buyers can now access a high-capacity unit for under $64, which is rare for this performance tier.

Budget 1000W power supply ships with 80 PLUS Gold efficiency

The TR-GL1000-W is a fully modular power supply designed for ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards. It uses an LLC Resonant and DC-DC circuit design to deliver stable power to components. This architecture helps maintain efficiency under heavy loads while keeping the unit compact. The 80 PLUS Gold certification confirms it converts electricity efficiently, reducing waste heat in your case.

Specifications

• Rated Power: 1000W
• Efficiency: 80 PLUS Gold
• Standards: ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1
• Modularity: Fully Modular
• Warranty: 5 Years

Thermalright kept the physical size small with dimensions of 140mm x 150mm x 86mm. This compact form factor makes it easier to fit into smaller cases or improve cable management. The unit includes a full suite of protection features, including OVP, UVP, OPP, SCP, OTP, and OCP. These safeguards protect your expensive components from power surges, short circuits, or overheating.

We looked at Thermalright TG-GM ATX 3.1 PSU Launches in our earlier Thermalright coverage. That previous model also featured 80 PLUS Gold efficiency but targeted a slightly different market segment. The new TR-GL1000-W focuses on raw wattage and affordability rather than niche features. This positions it as a practical choice for mainstream gamers and content creators.

The power supply is available in China starting August 27, 2024. It is listed on JD.com for 429 CNY (around $63.68). Thermalright backs the unit with a 5-year warranty. This combination of low price and solid support makes it a compelling entry in the budget high-wattage market.
