ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W Gold PSU - ATX 3.0, 80+ Gold
The ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W Gold is a fully modular ATX 3.0 power supply built for builders who want long-term reliability without compromise. Military-grade certified capacitors and chokes, a protective PCB coating, and dual ball bearing fan extend the working life well beyond that of standard PSUs. It suits high-end gaming and workstation builds where consistent, efficient power delivery and a long warranty matter most.
Why this product
Military-grade certified components
Capacitors and chokes pass demanding certification tests, and the MTBF rating exceeds 120,000 hours at 40°C — up to twice the lifespan of standard power supplies.
80 PLUS Gold efficiency up to 92%
Low-ESR Japanese capacitors earn it 80 PLUS Gold status, delivering up to 92% efficiency so less energy is lost as heat and fan noise stays lower.
ATX 3.0 compliant for next-gen GPUs
Full ATX 3.0 compliance means it meets tighter voltage and current regulation requirements for current and upcoming graphics cards, including a native PCIe 16-pin connector.
Cooler connectors with copper pins
Upgraded PCIe connectors with high-performance copper pins reduce connector temperatures by up to 12.28°C — a 29% reduction — for improved stability under load.
Fully modular etched cables
Every cable is detachable and etched for a clean build, so unused cables stay out of the case entirely and airflow is not compromised.
10-year warranty included
ASUS backs this unit with a 10-year warranty, reflecting confidence in its long-term durability.

- Compatible with ATX12V form-factor motherboards and standard ATX cases.
- Fully ATX 3.0 compliant, supporting next-generation GPU power requirements via a native PCIe 16-pin connector.
- Wide AC input range of 100–240 V AC makes it suitable for use in most countries worldwide.
- Provides two CPU 4+4-pin connectors, supporting dual-CPU or high-end single-socket motherboards that require both connectors.
- 0dB fan mode is active only below certain load thresholds; under heavy load the fan will spin normally.
- No AURA SYNC RGB lighting — not suitable for builds where PSU lighting synchronisation is required.
Best for
- High-end gaming builds needing a native PCIe 16-pin connector and ATX 3.0 compliance for current-generation graphics cards.
- Long-term ownership — the 10-year warranty and >120,000-hour MTBF rating suit builders who do not want to replace their PSU for a decade.
- Efficiency-conscious builds where up to 92% efficiency at load reduces running costs and keeps thermals in check.
- Neat cable management — fully modular etched cables mean only the cables in use are routed through the case.
- Environments with temperature extremes, as the unit is rated to handle temperature swings from -40°C to 85°C across 27 cycles.
Trade-offs
- RGB-focused builds — this unit has no AURA SYNC or any onboard lighting, so it will not contribute to a synchronised lighting setup.
- Compact or SFX cases — at 150 × 150 × 86 mm and 2.48 kg, it is an ATX-format unit and will not fit small-form-factor enclosures.
- Builds requiring more than five SATA connections natively — the cable complement includes five SATA connectors, which may require adapters in storage-heavy systems.
The TUF Gaming 1000W Gold is an efficient, resilient and dependable PSU that's engineered for the long haul. Capacitors and chokes pass demanding tests to achieve Military-grade Certification.
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.
Durability
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.
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.
ATX 3.0 Compatible — Step into the future
The latest power specification updates have landed. ATX 3.0 ushers in tighter voltage and current regulation guidelines for next-gen hardware - and TUF Gaming 1000W Gold steps ahead of the curve by being fully compliant.
