Tagan TG680-U33II

Tagan TG680-U33II SuperRock

Tagan may not be as synonymous to the North American masses when it comes to power supplies, but they certainly know how to build one. I can recall when the best PSU you could buy was in the 550W range, and even then it had 1W on the 12v line. In all retrospective, I personally blame it all on SLI ,and those magnificent things we like to call VGA cards. If you compare gaming graphics today, to that of ten years ago, its no wonder we have such high power requirements, and standards, for supplying power to our systems. With that said, it is no wonder that Tagan's mainstream series, the SuperRock, comes to us sporting 680W of power, but can it pull off the basic requirements for powering a mainstream system? That's what we are about to find out...

ABOUT TAGAN

We are a group of professional technical guys living in different countries –Germany, Japan and Silicon Valley (USA). All of us have had a couple of negative experience implementing Power Supply (PS) into systems. It is frustrating, time consuming and risky! By a very valuable opportunity, 2001 in Taipei`s Computex show, all of us met each other at a dinner party, we occasionally sat together and discussed about the power supply problems.

Based on our professional background and know-how, we suddenly all decided to study more about power supply and conduct some testing for finding out the best one. After almost a year`s teamwork in discussion, design, and developing, our team of international experts have designed some of the best and reliable power supplies for the PC as well as all the various systems. Consequently, all of us have become the founders of TAGAN. We are more than happy to share these products and experiences with you.
