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.
Seasonic Prime TX-1000
9.2 / 10 Expert Rating
The Prime TX-1000 trades the flagship TX-1600's extreme headroom for a more affordable 1000W Titanium unit that still ships with sleeved cables and Seasonic's 12-year warranty.
