ASUS ROG Strix 1000W Gold ATX3.0 (1000W/80+ Gold/ATX/Fully Modular/ATX 3.0) Review

If you're searching for the ASUS ROG Strix 1000W Gold ATX3.0, or just looking for a solid 1000W 80 PLUS Gold PSU in a ATX form factor, here's the full rundown on specs, price, and how it stacks up.

Short answer: the ROG Strix 1000W Gold ATX3.0 is a fully modular 1000W unit built to the ATX 3.0 spec, and we'd recommend it if you want Gold-tier efficiency at this wattage without chasing a flagship price tag.

Efficiency and Build Quality

The ROG Strix 1000W Gold ATX3.0 carries an 80 PLUS Gold certification and Cybenetics Gold efficiency / A- noise, built on a CWT platform. Its 135mm Axial-tech fan, Aura Sync ARGB keeps noise down, with Zero-RPM fan-stop under light loads.

Connectors and Cabling

You get 1x 24-pin ATX, 2x EPS 4+4, 1x 12V-2x6 (600W), 4x PCIe 6+2-pin, 8x SATA, 4x Molex. Cable lengths run 24-pin 600mm, EPS 650mm, 12V-2x6 600mm, PCIe 650mm, SATA 750mm, and the cables are standard black ribbon/flat, not sleeved. It's rated for a 17ms hold-up time and backed by OCP, OVP, OPP, SCP, OTP, UVP protection circuitry.

Comparison to Alternatives

Compared to the ASUS ROG Strix 850W Gold ATX3.0, the ROG Strix 1000W Gold ATX3.0 lands in the same efficiency tier at a different capacity, so the choice mostly comes down to how much wattage headroom you actually need. It's also worth cross-shopping against the MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5 if you're weighing Gold-tier options in this wattage class; both land in a similar price bracket, so the deciding factor usually comes down to form factor, cable sleeving, and warranty length.

Expert Review

Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.

Expert rating8.2 / 10

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.

Best for

  • High-end single-GPU gaming builds (RTX 4080/4090-class cards)
  • Builders who want Gold-tier efficiency with future GPU upgrade headroom
  • Systems that benefit from a native 12V-2x6 cable

Not for

  • Budget builds where a 550-650W unit would be sufficient
  • Extreme dual-GPU or workstation rigs needing 1200W+
  • Buyers who specifically need SFX/SFX-L sizing
