ASUS ROG Strix 1000W Platinum (Fully Modular Power Supply, 80 Plus Platinum Certified, ATX 3.1, Cybenetics Lambda A+, GaN MOSFET, GPU-First Intelligent Voltage Stabilizer, 10-Year Warranty)

Great Performance, Elegant Aesthetics from ASUS!
Over the course of the last 6 months, I have slowly pieced together components for a new personal gaming PC rig. Between finding stuff through either Amazon or Newegg, waiting for stuff to slowly go on sale or come down close to the MSRP, was like fingernails on a chalkboard. Unfortunately, CoVid-19 has caused a lot of price gouging in various items, especially in the market of PSUs.When Amazon Prime day 2020 finally came around, I was excited to see what various computer components would be available. The last two items on my list were a PSU and RAM, of which the latter I ended up finding a good buy on a 32g RAM kit. However, I wasn’t so lucky on finding the exact PSU to fit my needs. Not wanting to wait until Black Friday, I decided to bite the bullet and to find a top tier PSU, even if I had to splurge on it. I have already spent too much time trying to piece together components that I needed to build this computer incase something didn’t work right out of the box.Since most of the components in my new gaming PC were from ASUS, this PSU caught my eye. I figured that it would tie into the rest of the components nicely, even though the price was about $30 more than I would have liked to have paid, but was it really worth the $155?? (…this PSU looks so pretty!!) After tossing and turning a few night, and seeing that it was quickly going out of stock, I went ahead and bought this bad boy.On the other hand, not to let you guys think this was an impulse buy, I did some extensive research on this PSU. First off, this particular model won’t be found on any current heirarchy chart as ASUS uses another famous and good company that makes really great PSUs: Seasonic. Yup that’s right, this uses a modified version of Seasonic’s Focus Plus Gold series, which is considered a top end PSU. Secondly, the 10 year warranty was another reason that I knew this was a good buy as well.After waiting four days for this PSU to come in the mail (and practically losing sleep over it cause I was so excited to finally build my computer) I finally couldn’t wait to rip the package open to see all what was inside. What I found was: The PSU itself (duh!), a translucent ziplock baggie with some nice magnets to either put on the PSU, PSU shroud or chassis of your PC case, some small stickers to place on the I/O side of the PSU, the installation booklet, some velcro strips, four screws, and in a separate, sleek looking nylon bag, all the cables necessary to hook up your components to your motherboard, including two SATA cables with four headers and a molex cable. The cables themselves are sleeved as a whole (not individually sleeved) in a sturdy, black nylon material and there are no “ketchup and mustard” wires insight. The SATA and the molex cables, however, are the standard flat black cables. These cables are also VERY long, considering that my case is a mid tower ATX case. These could probably easy reach components in a full tower cases using an eATX motherboard without the need for cable extensions. The cables are also very flexible, not stiff like some other PSU brands with flat cables.When I finally got everything hooked up, and turned it on for the first time, it was beautiful. Even though this PSU has a 0 dB button, with it turned off (the fan constantly running) the fan is virtually silent.In the end, I definitely don’t feel guilty splurging on purchasing this product. I definitely recommend ASUS PSU to anyone that wants to add elegance and a reliable PSU to their PC build. It may be a little pricer than some of the other PSUs in the same category, but I guarantee you won’t regret it!

Overall hands down a Monster of power
Works great, provides all the power needed for my build and extremely durable. It’s easy to setup and haven’t had any heating issues. Would definitely recommend for future builds.

POWER ! Unlimited Power !
Upgraded from a cheap liteon 600w psu , cables are high quality and install was easy , just make sure you go slow and follow instructions, at first I thought the install will be daunting but cables came marked was easier than I thought now I’m future proof for now

Rog

very stable power supply with more then enough power

Me compré está fuente en oferta vendido por Amazon USA en diciembre, me salió en $2,700 aprox. Una ganga considerando que el precio regular estuvo por ahí de $3,300.Mi cambio viene de una fuente de 600 W Corsair No Modular que he tenido desde ya hace 8 años, y 2 años con una 3070 y R5 5600X. No noto cambio real pues el sistema ya era estable, así que me centraré en la percepción: caja, embalaje y peso hacen que se sienta de calidad. Por el contrario los cables (fuente modular) se sienten de calidad X. Aunque vienen mallados, los conectores se sienten viejos y con falta de calidad en los plásticos conectores. Tuve dos que no entraban bien a la fuente (1 PCI-E y 1 SATA), pero como traen bastantes cables busqué otros y quedaron. Ahh! Y aparte los cable PCI-E que van a la tarjeta de vídeo son 6+2 Pines!!!. Para una fuente de 850 W deberían ser de 8 Pines!!. Hasta la fuente Corsair de 600W que tenía era de 8 Pines y con mejor calidad de plásticos. También un detallito es que el imán con el logo de ROG no tiene mucha adherencia, se siente que se caerá.En general me gusta la marca Asus sin considerarme Fanboy. Siento que lo de los cables le quitan calidad, pero por el precio que pagué y que tuvo solución considero OK. Si hubiera pagado +$3500 por una fuente con esos detalles si lo calificaría 4 estrellas.Saludos.
