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.

Cougar GLE 1200W

6.8 / 10 Expert Rating

Solid paper specs and a genuinely compact 1200W Gold ATX 3.1 unit, but Cougar has zero track record with us and several spec details (MTBF, exact connector counts, official warranty term) aren't consistently published yet.
