Verdict
ASUS ROG Strix 1000W Gold ATX3.0
8.2 / 10 Expert Rating
ASUS extends the Strix Gold ATX3.0 line to 1000W here, keeping the Aura Sync-lit fan shroud and Axial-tech blades from the 850W model while adding headroom for a higher-end GPU.
Cooler Master MWE Gold 1050 V2
8.2 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid 1050W Gold-rated ATX unit for an RTX 4080/4090 or RTX 5080/5090-class high-end gaming build, held back only by the usual mid-tier compromises on cabling and OEM sourcing.
