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.

XPG Pylon 650W

6.5 / 10 Expert Rating

An unremarkable but functional budget Bronze unit, worth it mainly for XPG ecosystem consistency.
