Thermaltake introduced the Dr. Power III Pro, a diagnostic device for ATX 3.1 power supplies featuring an integrated color LCD for real-time voltage monitoring and connector verification. Designed for PC builders and system integrators, the tool provides high-visibility feedback and audible alerts to help identify power delivery issues.
The device supports the 12V-2×6 connector and reads SENSE0 and SENSE1 sideband signals to verify 150W, 300W, 450W or 600W cable configurations. It also supports 24-pin ATX, PCIe, EPS, SATA and Molex connectors, while built-in alarms detect under-voltage, over-voltage and no-output conditions. Automated and manual testing modes provide consistent troubleshooting for modern power supplies.
Scheduled for release on July 9, 2026, with a retail price of $49.99, the Dr. Power III Pro makes advanced PSU diagnostics more accessible for enthusiasts building and maintaining high-performance PC systems.
