Thermaltake TR2 RX 750Watt Power Supply Review

Conclusion
Well, testing a PSU using an overclocked quad-core processor and a seriously powerful Radeon HD 5870 is something to brag about, and the Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W handled everything great. Heat output was about what we had expected; the exhaust air was warm, but not blistering hot. This alone is a good sign meaning that power is being used instead of becoming excess heat.
When looking for a power supply it is always a good idea to buy more than what you need. In a typical desktop or gaming system 550 to 600 watts may be more than enough power. However as system load extends beyond the 80% of capacity the total power efficiency begins to decrease, excess heat is produced, and overall stability becomes questionable.
Picking a PSU that is slightly larger than what you need will alleviate this and ensure your system to run cool and quiet. The Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W is a good match in these situations and provides a little extra for when you plan to upgrade down the road.
