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.

A best-in-class 850W Platinum-rated ATX unit for a popular RTX 4070 Ti / RTX 5070-class gaming build, held back only by its premium price.
