How are Thermaltake PSU Brand in mining?

I am debating whether to purchase an Thermaletake 850W PSU to power 2 of my Antminers.
I had good performance with Corsairs and used them in all my rigs.
Just wondering how Thermaltake performs? I know they are popular in the overclocking world and might be good builds?

My computer had some 3 years ago a Thermaltake PSU. It was very nice and quiet.
One day, my son (was about 1 year old) clicked the power button a few times. The PSU, and the motherboard too, both got burnt.
Guess what, did I buy Thermaltake again?

I had an old Thermaltake 430W that I ran a pair of 5770 GPUs off in a rig two years ago. It held up for most of a month (a very hot July month) before smoking out and I replaced it with a server PSU. I couldn't complain about it, but like the above says, it's probably going to depend on the model.

SO I guess they are good for basic computing needs where it uses around 100W max. Not 80% of the full load?

They are hit and miss. They also change OEMs on a model without warning, so what was once a good PSU might now be a bad PSU, or vice versa. A good rule of thumb would be to avoid it unless you can find a positive review of it on jonnyguru.com

I had a 500w one, TR2, I think. After asking it to give me about 350w 24/7 on a GPU rig it died on me after a month or so. I tend to stay away from them.

The 850M is the same Channel Well PUQ-B platform as the Corsair CX850M. They're literally the same supply. It's not a bad supply, it's not worth $120 though.
If you're in the US, you can't beat the 1300G2 that Philip posted for that price.

I'm actually from Canada and here power supplies are highly overpriced. The only cheap ones are the crappy 400W PSUs.

Thermaltakes are good, I had a few and there were no problems. I still have a TT in one of my computers, a modular 630W.
If you're looking for a good inexpensive brand try OCZ, I had one of their models for almost 5 years and during that time changed the parts it powered at least twice.

What Antminers are you looking to power, BTW? S5s?
The 1300W EVGA is a tougher sell at $240. If you're running two S5s, you might be better off getting two of the $78 Thermaltake SP-750P PSUs at NCIX. Efficiency probably won't even be that different in this case, the TT will do 87.8% at 560W output and the EVGA would 89.2% at 1050W according to test results on the net.
I'm normally a proponent of going with the better made bigger supply, but in this case I don't think the EVGA is $80 better than the two cheap ones.
