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.

8.7 / 10 Expert Rating

Thermaltake's older but still-current iRGB Plus flagship pairs Platinum efficiency with a software-controlled RGB fan and sleeved cables, aimed at builders who want lighting alongside high efficiency.
