Asus has just announced the release of its new ROG Strix Platinum PSU line, a series of high-performance power supplies tailored to meet the demands of gaming enthusiasts. The lineup includes three models featuring reduced connection temperatures, intelligent wattage distribution, ATX 3.1 compatibility, and a 10-year warranty.

These power supplies are designed to accommodate various gaming PC configurations, regardless of the graphics card used. One standout feature is the proprietary GPU-First intelligent voltage stabiliser (IVS), which ensures a steady power flow to overclocked graphics cards, delivering up to 45% more stable voltage to the GPU than conventional stabilisers. Users can use a traditional CPU-focused voltage sensor as long as they don't connect the cable to the IVS.

Available with 850W, 1000W, and 1200W, the ROG Strix Platinum PSUs have gallium nitride (GaN) MOSFETs, offering up to 30% improved power efficiency over previous generations. The compact size of the GaN MOSFET enables a simplified internal architecture, allowing for better heat dissipation.

Featuring dual ball bearings, the PSU fan boasts a lifespan of up to 80,000 hours. The 0dB mode, activated when the PSU load is 40% or below, allows the fan to automatically disengage at safe temperatures, providing a quieter gaming experience. In ROG Strix 1000W Platinum's case, this PSU generates less than 20 dB of noise, earning it an A+ Cybernetics certification.

The series also boasts 80 Plus Platinum certifications, guaranteeing a minimum of 89% efficiency across all load sizes. This is partly due to the high-end Japanese capacitors offering a longer lifespan than conventional ones. The modular design of the ROG Strix Platinum PSUs allows for easy installation and cable management with flexible, etched modular cables.

Asus packs a unique CPU power cord in the ROG Strix Platinum series, featuring a distinctive colour scheme and clip for easy identification. Lastly, the PSUs come with ROG Strix stickers, allowing users to add a personal touch to their gaming setup.

KitGuru says: If you used one of these PSUs on a system, would you connect the GPU-First IVS or use the traditional CPU-focused approach?
