I went with ASUS TUF brand for my PC since I wanted it to be as TUF as possible (heh). I almost went another brand, but decided to try this. I went 850 watt so I didn't have to use too much % of PSU power like I would with a 750 watt. I was very pleased with the build quality. It doesn't have the fancy velcro (whoever uses those really?) pouch for the modular cables like other brands do, just a thick clear plastic bag. This is the most expensive PSU I have ever bought.The wires are unlike any PSU I've installed in my life, all the cables are not glued together into one strip like other brands. It's both a good and bad thing. Good thing is I can choose exactly where the tension is going to be on the cables, the bad thing is that they can get very unruly like a stack of Christmas lights if you aren't careful. BUT that doesn't mean I like it less.This fan also needs to be installed upside-down if you want the fan taking cool air in from the bottom and blowing out the back. If you point the fan up it will suck air from inside the PC and blow it out the back instead. I chose option one (upside-down) because I don't want the PSU eating hot air from the case. I’m not someone who places my PC case on a carpeting and is stuck with option 2.The “bad” thing about this PSU is that the fan is very loud and makes a loud "humming" noise (look up '250 HZ sine wave' video, it's about that tone) when it heats up even a teeny bit. There is no low db mode, but it is usually quiet. I'm used to the sound already, but it caught me off guard- easily the loudest PSU I ever bought.Setting my two front intake case fans to DC mode so they turn off at 35°C seemed to quiet down the PSU A LOT though. I did the same thing for my GPU fans. Did wonders for the noise! Temps are still in the low 30s even with only the CPU and back fan on. I might even turn off my ARBG to see if it gets even quieter (I doubt it though since LEDs take practically nothing to power). The humming is not ideal though. It can sound like a bad case of tinnitus after a while. During gaming (which is usually what I do), it’s not even noticable.Do I regret my buy? Nope. Will I get a different brand next time? Only if the ASUS TUF one fails on me in under 10 years (my old PC's PSU is still going after 12 years).
Excellent power supply, very quiet and reliable. Perfect for high-performance builds.
Los primeros días estaba preocupado ya que desprendía un aroma como a quemado pero mi madre me explico que era por los materiales usados de fabrica y con el pasar de los días ese aroma se fue. La fuente funciona bien, es silenciosa y más que suficiente para alimentar una 3060.
The cables are long enough for most builds and they're flexible which I love. Seems to run my board and chip ram etc without any issues. Solid product from ASUS as usual. Would definitely recommend
Great price. Easy installation. Don’t even hear it run. Came with all cables and connections. Same product cheaper here than at Best Buy. Runs FS2024 with ease
The size of the power supply is pretty good not really much to say on that, The colors of the cables obviously are going to be blocked out so they could be pretty good if you want to make a all black PC and the quality of the cables are pretty good too feeling pretty reliable and durable and the installation is pretty easy and understandable to do and of course due to it being a modular power supply you don't need to have every single cable plugged in. So I would say this is a pretty good power supply especially a 1000 w unit even if my PC does not consume anywhere near 500w but it's still good to have a lot of headroom for future upgrading.
It works great, just installed it today (10/19/2025) and been using it since this morning. Like most solds on Amazon, it just WORKS! I will eventually get that video card I ordered that's why I bought this PSU upgrade.
excelente fuente, modular para fácil manejo de lo que necesitas, se ve muy bien y su instalación es sencilla... totalmente recomendable
Very quiet and powerful! Perfect for gaming setups
Excellent completely modular power supply made my build easy!
I bought this PSU to connect it to a GEFORCE RTX4090 card. Both PSU and card are connected to a DEG1 eGPU dock (Minisforum). Connecting the unit took around 10 min total. I did run a number of tests with the setup, and the system worked well even under demanding conditions. Noise level is really low. Overall, a very good buy for me.
Running beautifully very happy
This is a great PSU that I have used in a couple of builds. It is priced competively and works well. The individually sleeved cables give it an upscale appearance right out of the box, and the included 12VHPWR cable means you don't have to mess with adapters for many modern NVIDIA graphics cards.Installation is easy and it does not take up too much space in a build.I would recommend a TUF PSU for any mid to high-end PC build.
