Choosing a power supply
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter, besides the format, is its power output. This indicates the maximum number of Watts the PSU can continuously supply to the components in your computer. It is a good idea to use an online calculator to determine the optimal power output based on your chosen components.
High power and ATX 3.1 standard
The power supply provides a continuous 1600W output, safely covering the energy demands of builds with multiple graphics cards and overclocked processors. The power reserve also handles sudden load spikes typical of modern hardware. Sufficient capacity is fundamental for stable operation during rendering, high-resolution gaming, or computationally intensive tasks where every watt is critical. The PSU supports the stricter voltage and current regulation of the ATX 3.1 standard, and its design handles graphics card power spikes. It includes two 12V-2x6 power connectors, each capable of delivering up to 600W to a single PCIe 5.1 graphics card, thereby powering even the most demanding graphics cards on the market.
80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium certification
The 80 PLUS Titanium certification confirms high electrical energy conversion efficiency. At 50% load, it achieves a minimum efficiency of 96%, which significantly reduces waste heat generation and electricity consumption. Lower heat losses lead to cooler operation and less wear on internal components. In addition to the 80 PLUS certification, the 1600W computer power supply also meets the demanding criteria of the Cybenetics Titanium rating. This standard considers not only efficiency across a wider load range but also the operating noise level. Achieving this rating confirms quiet operation and efficiency under real-world operating conditions, from low load to full power.
GaN MOSFETs and GPU-First voltage stabiliser
Using Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistors instead of traditional silicon components contributes to higher efficiency and cooler operation. These components exhibit lower switching losses and generate less heat. The smaller size of GaN MOSFETs frees up space for a more organised internal layout and better airflow, which further enhances cooling efficiency. The voltage stabiliser technology focuses on prioritising the most stable power supply to the graphics card. Using a special sensing cable, it actively monitors and compensates for voltage fluctuations directly at the GPU. This system improves power delivery stability by up to 45%, resulting in smoother gameplay and greater reliability when overclocking.
Magnetic OLED display with Aura Sync lighting
The integrated OLED display shows the entire system's current power draw in real time. This gives you an instant overview of consumption without needing to install additional monitoring software. Strong magnets attach the display to the PSU body, allowing for easy repositioning to the other side. This flexibility is practical for cases with different PSU mounting orientations. The built-in addressable RGB LEDs work with the ASUS Aura Sync ecosystem. You can synchronise lighting effects across all compatible components, such as motherboards or graphics cards. The power supply also supports an intelligent lighting mode that dynamically changes the backlight colour based on the current graphics card temperature.
Turbo mode for ATX 3.1 and protection features
Activating Turbo mode via the button on the back adjusts the fan curve and component settings to handle extreme power spikes. This feature is designed for builds with components that can briefly exceed their nominal power draw, for instance during intensive overclocking or when launching very demanding applications. The PSU integrates 6 main protection mechanisms, such as overload, overvoltage, and overheat protection. This comprehensive set of safeguards acts as a failsafe for the entire computer system and minimises the risk of hardware failure.
Comprehensive cooling
Internal components are cooled by massive ROG heatsinks, whose large surface area and specific shape dissipate heat from key components like transistors and rectifiers. The entire PSU body is made of aluminium, which acts as an additional passive heatsink. This combination ensures low operating temperatures even under prolonged high loads. Active cooling is handled by a fan with dual ball bearings. This type of bearing has up to twice the operational lifespan. At low loads, typically below 20% of the total power, the PWM-controlled fan stops completely. This passive Zero RPM mode maintains absolute silence during light work, such as web browsing or office tasks. The fan automatically activates only when the load increases, allowing the PSU to balance between quiet operation and necessary cooling.
Fully modular cabling
All cables are detachable, which greatly simplifies the installation process and cable management. You only connect the cables you actually need, reducing clutter inside the case. A cleaner internal layout contributes to more effective cooling. The supplied cables are made from a high-quality material that makes them easier to bend and route in tight spaces. This material meets the strict UL1581 and UL758 safety standards for flame resistance and operates at temperatures 50°C lower.

80 Plus certification in the European market
The 80 Plus certification was created to objectively assess the efficiency of PC power supplies. It gives users a simple and clear way to compare different models. In the European market (which uses a voltage of 230V), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification, each with set requirements for PC power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower power consumption.
| PC power supply load | Efficiency at 20% load | Efficiency at 50% load | Efficiency at 100% load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 PLUS | 82% | 85% | 82% |
| 80 PLUS Bronze | 85% | 88% | 85% |
| 80 PLUS Silver | 87% | 90% | 87% |
| 80 PLUS Gold | 90% | 92% | 89% |
| 80 PLUS Platinum | 92% | 94% | 90% |
| 80 PLUS Titanium | 94% | 96% | 94% |
