Verdict
ASUS ROG Thor 1200W Platinum II
8.8 / 10 Expert Rating
A best-in-class 1200W Platinum-rated ATX unit for a workstation or multi-GPU build with serious headroom, held back only by its premium price.
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P6
8.7 / 10 Expert Rating
P6 is EVGA's most compact full-size ATX platform, so the 1000 P6 packs Platinum efficiency and a native 12V-2x6 into a shorter 150mm chassis that fits cases the older G-series wouldn't.
