The display is a gimmick, whatever ASUS say
Does everything well. The screen is a gimmick I have grown to like
Used for: Less than a month
Native 12V-2x6 retires the adapter
Stiff 24 pin lead
Swapped this into an existing build to replace a 750W that was struggling with a new card, and the machine has been rock steady since the first boot. The 12V-2x6 lead is native, so the four headed adapter has gone in a drawer where it belongs! Three weeks of it now and not one stutter.
Used for: 6–12 months
The electronics are not in question
190mm of case depth and a compulsory software install
The unit works and I have no doubts about the electronics, but two things stop me recommending it. One, the software. To change anything on the display, or to stop it showing the ASUS logo, you need Armoury Crate, which installs more than I want on a machine and puts a service on startup. Two, the size. It is 190mm, and in a 1200W class where competitors manage 160mm that is a lot of case depth spent on a heatsink and a screen. My drive cage went in the bin.
Used for: 6–12 months
Bought it mainly for the display and stayed for the silence. A 5070 Ti build shows 340W on the OLED under load, which is well under half the rating, so nothing ever spins up!
Used for: 6–12 months
Armoury Crate needed to control anything
Twelve hundred platinum watts, no noise, no fuss. Shame about the software though
Used for: Less than a month
Looks right in a show build and the cables are labelled at both ends
Aura needs the ASUS software running to stay in sync
Went into a white and black build where the supply is visible through the side panel, and it looks the part without being garish. Aura picks up the rest of the machine's colours without any argument. More usefully, the ROG heatsink on the side means the whole unit acts as a radiator, so the fan threshold sits high. Building with it was easy, all the cables are labelled at both ends. Ten days in and it has been faultless
Used for: More than a year
The readout settles arguments about what a card actually draws
Physically large for the wattage
Has fed a 3080 Ti and now a 5070 Ti without complaint, and the OLED made the difference obvious: the older card pulled more at the wall for less on screen. Handy sanity check when people argue about power draw. No whine has ever developed, and the fan starts somewhere around 600W, which in practice means during benchmarks and nothing else. Two years in now and it sounds the same as it did new.
