Asus rog strix 650w gold and 750w gold, the new modular gaming psu

Now it's time to talk about another of the most interesting products that Asus has left us in this Computex 2019. These are Asus ROG Strix 750W Gold and Asus ROG Strix 650W Gold from two 80 Plus Gold certified modular power supplies for PC gaming.

Two new upper-middle-range gaming PSUs

And we say mid-high range because Asus already has superior performance power supplies, such as the Asus ROG Thor, available in 1200W and 850W and with an OLED LiveDash screen that is so fashionable in the brand.

In this case, we went down one notch, both in power, as well as in details and benefits, to place these two products in a market that is much more affordable for most users, although we currently do not know the cost, but it will surely be less than the commented ones. However, they are two PSUs in modular configuration, and the advantages that this entails.

Asus ROG Strix 650W and 750W Gold features

Well here we have specifically the 650W Gold model on the outside and on that rendering platform, and inside the demo PC we have the most powerful model, the 750W Gold.

In any case, we see a power supply in traditional ATX configuration with typical elements of the ROG series, although without an OLED LiveDash screen as we have commented, leaving the rest of the plates bare and painted in black. What does stand out in the first instance is its modular design and the 135mm 9-bladed Axial fan that is pre-installed as an active cooling system.

In addition, inside we have strong finned aluminum heatsinks in the MOSFETS that are responsible for converting and stabilizing the current. Say that these power elements, MOSFETS and capacitors are built in Japan and offer up to 10 years warranty.

The modular design makes it a really comfortable source to install, being able to place the cables that we only need. In this model that concerns us, specifically we have the following connectors:

• 1x E-ATX connector for motherboard 1x connector for CPU power P8 / P44x connectors for PCIe or CPU power 6 + 8 pins 4x connectors for MOLEX, SATA and IDE cables

A positive aspect is that the larger ATX connector also comes in a modular connection, something that in other models of different brands is only offered in a fixed way.

In the absence of information on their availability and price, we see that Asus has done an excellent job on these PSUs, giving us high performance appropriate for high-end gaming equipment at a price presumably more adjusted than the Thor models. In any case, prices should be around 100 or 120 euros to consider them competitive.
