Setup and Installation
This section provides general guidelines for installing your ASUS ROG Strix 1000W Platinum White PSU. For detailed instructions specific to your PC case and components, please refer to their respective manuals.
1. Safety Precautions
- Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before installing or removing any components.
- Ensure proper grounding to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to components.
- Do not open the PSU casing. High voltages are present inside, even when unplugged.
- Install the PSU in a well-ventilated area.
2. Physical Installation
- Prepare Your Case: Identify the PSU mounting area in your PC case, typically at the bottom or top rear.
- Mount the PSU: Slide the PSU into the designated bay. Align the screw holes on the PSU with those on the case. Secure the PSU using the provided screws.
- Connect Motherboard Power: Connect the 24-pin ATX power cable from the PSU to the corresponding port on your motherboard. Ensure it clicks into place.
- Connect CPU Power: Connect the 4+4 pin or 8-pin EPS/CPU power cable(s) to the CPU power connector(s) on your motherboard.
- Connect GPU Power: For graphics cards requiring PCIe power, connect the appropriate 6+2 pin or the native 12V-2x6 (16-pin) PCIe 5.1 power cable from the PSU to your graphics card. Ensure all pins are fully seated.

- Connect Peripherals: Connect SATA power cables to your storage drives (SSDs, HDDs) and Molex cables to any other peripherals requiring them.
- Cable Management: Utilize the modular design of the PSU to connect only necessary cables. Route cables neatly to improve airflow and aesthetics.
Operating the PSU
The ASUS ROG Strix 1000W Platinum White PSU operates automatically once installed and connected. It is designed for optimal performance and stability.
Power On/Off
- Initial Power On: After all components are connected, plug the AC power cord into the PSU and then into a wall outlet. Flip the power switch on the back of the PSU to the "ON" position.
- System Power On: Press the power button on your PC case to start the system.
- System Shutdown: Always shut down your operating system normally before turning off the PSU switch or unplugging the power cord.
Intelligent Voltage Stabilization
The "GPU-FIRST" intelligent voltage stabilizer actively monitors and adjusts voltage delivery to your graphics card, ensuring stable power even during sudden load changes. This patented technology minimizes voltage ripple and sag, contributing to a smoother and more reliable gaming experience.

0dB Fan Technology
The PSU's fan will remain off when the power consumption is below a certain threshold, providing silent operation. As the load increases, the fan will automatically spin up to maintain optimal temperatures. This intelligent cooling system ensures quiet performance during light tasks and efficient cooling under heavy loads.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your PSU.
- Dust Removal: Periodically clean dust from the PSU's fan intake and exhaust vents using compressed air. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning. Do not open the PSU casing.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the PSU within recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid extreme heat, cold, or moisture.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the PSU within your PC case. Do not obstruct the fan or vents.
- Cable Integrity: Periodically check all power cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
