Verdict

ASUS ROG Strix 850W Gold ATX3.0

8.3 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid 850W Gold-rated ATX unit for a popular RTX 4070 Ti / RTX 5070-class gaming build, held back only by the usual mid-tier compromises on cabling and OEM sourcing.

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.
