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.
Fractal Design Ion+ 2 Platinum 760W
8.7 / 10 Expert Rating
Fractal's Ion+ 2 line targets its own quiet, minimalist case aesthetic, and the 760W Platinum unit is the sweet-spot capacity for a high-end single-GPU Fractal build like the Torrent or North.
