ASUS ROG Strix 850W Gold Aura Edition Performance Review

The ASUS ROG Strix 850W Gold Aura Edition is a high power PSU, sufficient for mainstream gaming systems and content creation workstations. It provides sufficient power for systems with modern multi-core CPUs and performance-class GPUs, offering headroom for overclocking and future upgrades.

This PSU provides a very high efficiency of 91%, rated as Gold. It offers superior energy conversion and lower heat output, making it ideal for performance systems. The included 10-year warranty suggests strong build quality and long-term reliability.
