Asus Rog Strix 1200W Platinum ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Box & Bundle

The package has a photo of the PSU on its face and several badges describing the ATX v3.1 compatibility and the ten-year warranty. On the back side of the box, there are more details about the PSU’s technical details.

The PSU has an interesting exterior design, with a nicely designed fan grille with large perforations to restrict the fan’s airflow as little as possible. On the front side, besides the AC receptacle and the power switch, there is an additional switch for toggling on/off the PSU’s semi-passive fan operation. Around the back, the modular board hosts an extra propriety socket next to the 12V-2×6 one, providing two extra sense pins. Asus claims the extra sense pins help achieve tighter load regulation on the 12+4 pin connector.

Cables

Modular Cables
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 20+4 pin (610mm) 1 1 18AWG No
4+4 pin EPS12V (1000mm) 2 2 18AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (750mm) 4 4 18AWG No
12+4 pin PCIe (745mm) (600W) 1 1 16-24AWG No
SATA (400mm+120mm+120mm) 2 6 18AWG No
4-pin Molex (390mm+150mm+150mm) 1 3 18AWG No

The cables and connectors provided are enough to allow the PSU to deliver its full power without any issues. They include two EPS, four PCIe on dedicated cables, a single 12V-2×6 set at 600W, six SATA, and three 4-pin Molex connectors. All cables are long, with the EPS cables reaching one meter, ensuring compatibility with whatever chassis you use. The distance between the 4-pin Molex connectors is adequate at 150mm, but the distance between the SATA connectors is short. Lastly, all cables are individually sleeved.
