Verdict
ASUS ROG Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum
8.7 / 10 Expert Rating
The 1000W Loki SFX-L is the halo SKU of ASUS's small-form-factor line, aimed at ITX builders who want to run a flagship GPU without moving up to a full ATX case.
Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold
8.3 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid 850W Gold-rated SFX-L unit for a small-form-factor build running a high-end GPU, held back only by the usual mid-tier compromises on cabling and OEM sourcing.
