5. Operating Features
The ASUS ROG STRIX 1000W Gold PSU incorporates several features to enhance performance and user experience:
- ROG Heatsinks: Custom-designed ROG heatsinks cover critical components within the PSU. This design leads to lower operating temperatures, which in turn contributes to a longer lifespan for the unit and reduced noise output.
- Axial-tech Fan Design: The fan features a smaller hub that allows for longer blades, and a barrier ring that increases downward air pressure. This design optimizes cooling performance while minimizing noise.
- Dual Ball Fan Bearings: The fan utilizes dual ball bearings, which are known for their durability and longevity, lasting up to twice as long as traditional sleeve bearing designs.
- 0dB Technology: For quiet operation during light loads, the 0dB Technology stops the fan completely when the power draw is below a certain threshold. This allows for silent computing during less demanding tasks, such as web browsing or light gaming. The fan will automatically spin up when the load increases.
- 80 PLUS Gold Certification: This certification signifies high power efficiency, meaning less wasted energy as heat and lower operating costs. The PSU achieves this efficiency through the use of high-quality Japanese capacitors and other premium components.
