The ASUS ROG Strix is a very interesting looking power supply and it certainly stands out in a market of bland designs. I like how they have cut the STRIX word into the grille with the added benefit that it will also give plenty of airflow for the fan underneath. The power supply measures 150 mm x 85 mm x 160 mm so it will fit into most cases on the market today. It weighs 1.81kg.

The modular side of the power supply is nicely laid out across two rows of modular ports – all labelled for ease of use during the install phase. There is a purple socket right next to the 12V-2X6 port which offers two ‘sense' pins. ASUS say this port helps the unit deliver tighter load regulation on the 12+4 pin connector.

The power side of the unit is home to the power switch and connector, along with a button to toggle on the semi passive fan mode.

The power supply is able to deliver 83.3A on the primary +12V rail and 25A on both +3.3V and +5V rails. for a total of 1000 watts.
