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.
Seasonic S12III 750 Bronze
7.2 / 10 Expert Rating
A better-built-than-average budget Bronze unit for buyers who trust the Seasonic name over a modular cable set.
