Quiet & Efficient PSU
by James CI bought this because of its Cybernetics noise and efficiency certifications and the fact that it is supposedly one of the quietest PSUs available. That certainly seems to be the case. It has been silent so far and should remain passively cooled up to about 850W thanks to its large heatsinks. Note that it's a large unit because of this (180mm wide) so check it will fit your case before buying. The 1200W should be enough even if I decide to upgrade to one of the top level Nvidia 5000 series cards. It's also fully modular which made cable management a breeze. I can't comment on the RGB on the sides as I haven't used that personally, but the option's there if you want it. Full disclosure, this review was written as part of Asus' Rate My Gear promotion, so is promoted by ASUS, but this is my genuine review and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Asus ROG Strix 1200W Gold Aura Edition for anyone looking for a solid power supply.
