ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W Gold Modular PSU - ATX 3.0
The ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W Gold Modular PSU is a fully modular ATX 3.0 power supply built for PC builders who want long-term reliability and clean power delivery in high-demand systems. Military-grade components, a 10-year warranty, and 80 Plus Gold efficiency make it a practical choice for builders who expect their platform to last. Its protective PCB coating, dual ball bearing fan, and etched cables address the durability and installation concerns that arise in serious desktop builds.
Why this product
10-year warranty for long-term confidence
A full 10-year warranty backs this unit, one of the longest coverage periods in the consumer PSU market.
80 Plus Gold: up to 92% efficiency
Low-ESR Japanese capacitors earn it 80 Plus Gold certification, delivering up to 92% efficiency — meaning less heat generated and quieter fan operation under typical loads.
0dB mode shuts fan off at low loads
When the system draw is light, the 135mm Axial-tech fan stops entirely, keeping the build silent during everyday tasks.
Military-grade components, twice the standard lifespan
Capacitors and chokes pass military-grade certification tests, and MTBF testing exceeds 120,000 hours at 40°C — up to twice the lifespan of standard power supplies.
ATX 3.0 ready for next-gen hardware
Full ATX 3.0 compliance meets the tighter voltage and current regulation requirements introduced for current and upcoming graphics cards and platforms.
Copper PCIe pins cut connector temperatures by 29%
Upgraded high-performance copper pins on PCIe connectors reduce connector temperatures by up to 12.28°C compared to standard designs, supporting stable power delivery under sustained load.

- ATX 3.0 and ATX12V form factor — fits standard ATX mid-tower and full-tower cases.
- Active PFC supports a wide AC input range of 100–240V, compatible with mains voltage worldwide.
- Fully modular cabling works with any build layout; unused cables can be left out entirely.
- Etched cables meet UL1581 and UL758 certifications, compatible with safety requirements for PC DIY builds.
- 0dB fan-off mode activates only below a certain load threshold — at sustained high loads, the fan will run.
- AURA SYNC RGB lighting is not supported — this unit has no RGB output or addressable lighting header.
Best for
- High-performance desktop builders who need a full 1000W of continuous power output for demanding graphics and CPU combinations.
- Long-term platform builders who want the 10-year warranty and military-grade component certification to outlast multiple GPU or CPU upgrades.
- Noise-conscious users who value the 0dB fan-off mode for silence during light workloads and general desktop use.
- Efficiency-focused builders who want 80 Plus Gold-rated operation to reduce heat output and lower running costs over time.
- Builders who prioritise cable management — fully modular etched cables simplify routing and keep the interior tidy.
Trade-offs
- Small form factor builds — at 150 × 150 × 86 mm and 2.48 kg, this unit does not fit SFX or compact ITX cases.
- RGB-focused builds — it has no AURA SYNC or any RGB lighting support.
- Low-power or budget systems — the 1000W capacity exceeds what a modest desktop needs, making smaller-wattage PSUs a better-matched and more cost-appropriate option for those platforms.
- Builders wanting passive cooling at all times — 0dB mode is load-dependent and the fan will engage under sustained high demand.
The ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W Gold packs military-grade strength, a flagship fan design, and PCB protection for efficient, durable power delivery. The result is a PSU that will reliably fuel your rig for years to come.
Built For The Long Haul
MTBF
The ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W Gold, enhanced with military-grade components, passes a stricter MTBF (mean time between failures) test to deliver up to twice the lifespan of standard power supplies, empowering you build with confidence.
EXTREME TEMPERATURE
TUF Gaming 1000W Gold is capable of handling drastic temperature changes from -40°C up to 85°C for 27 cycles and maintaining operation.
ENGINEERING
High-Performance Copper Pins
Upgraded PCIe® connectors featuring superior thermal conductivity ensure cooler operation and improved power delivery efficiency. This translates to a significant 29% reduction in connector temperatures (up to 12.28°C), promoting optimal performance and stability for even the most demanding graphics cards.
ATX 3.0 Compatible — Step into the future
ATX 3.0 ushers in tighter voltage and current regulation guidelines for next-gen hardware.
Axial-tech Fan Design
Axial-tech fan design features a smaller fan hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring that increases downward air pressure. For TUF Gaming series PSUs, we've scaled that design to 135mm so it keeps things cool at low RPMs while producing less noise.
80 Plus Gold Certification — Heart of gold
The TUF Gaming 1000W Gold features efficient, low-ESR Japanese capacitors to ensure efficient operation — affording it 80 PLUS® Gold status. This means it delivers up to 92% efficiency, resulting in less heat, reduced fan noise, and increased reliability.
EXPERIENCE
Etched Cables
Made from a pliable premium material, these etched cables are easily flexible during installation, and they operate at temperatures 50°C lower than the safety limit when routed for cable management. These cables also meet the rigorous standards of the UL1581 flame test and UL758 certification, helping to ensure a smooth PC DIY experience and exceptional safety.
