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.
Corsair HX1500i
8.8 / 10 Expert Rating
A best-in-class 1500W Platinum-rated ATX unit for an extreme multi-GPU or high-core-count workstation, held back only by its premium price.
