ASUS has expanded its power supply lineup with the introduction of the TUF Gaming 1000W Gold EVO and TUF Gaming 1200W Gold EVO, bringing higher wattage options to its EVO series. Designed for high-performance gaming and workstation builds, these new models continue the TUF Gaming focus on durability and reliable power delivery, while retaining an 80 PLUS Gold efficiency rating and an 8-year warranty.
TUF Gaming 1200W Gold EVO
Compared to the ASUS PRIME Gold Black Edition PSUs, the new TUF Gaming Gold EVO models notably lack Cybenetics certification, despite offering the same 8-year warranty coverage. This is somewhat unusual, as many Gold-rated power supplies from established brands typically carry longer warranties, often extending to 10 years. The omission of Cybenetics certification, combined with the unchanged warranty period, further reinforces the positioning of these units as more cost-optimised alternatives rather than direct replacements for higher-tier models.
Key Features
• 80 PLUS Gold efficiency certification for balanced performance and efficiency
• Available in 1000W and 1200W capacities for high-end gaming and workstation systems
• Fully modular cable design for easier installation and improved cable management
• Built using TUF-grade components for enhanced durability and longevity
• Axial-tech fan design to improve airflow and cooling efficiency
• Compact housing for broader compatibility across various PC case sizes
Positioning within the Lineup
Much like the recently introduced ASUS GeForce PRIME RTX 5080 EVO graphics cards, the TUF Gaming 1000W Gold EVO and 1200W Gold EVO are streamlined versions of existing designs, closely resembling the ASUS PRIME Gold Black Edition series but with fewer certifications. The lack of Cybenetics certification does not necessarily impact performance, but it removes independent efficiency and noise validation, positioning these models as more cost-focused alternatives with trimmed premium features.
ASUS has yet to announce official pricing and availability for the TUF Gaming 1000W Gold EVO and TUF Gaming 1200W Gold EVO power supplies.
