ASUS ROG Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum (Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Platinum, 120mm PWM ARGB Fan, Aura Sync, ATX 3.0 Compatible, PCIe 5.0 Ready, 10…

There is a comment mentioning that this PSU is too expansive compared to a specific non SFF model. This unit has nothing to do with what has been reported. It’s a small form factor SFX12V 4.0 – ATX 3.0 that includes the new 12VHPWR single 16pin connector to supply up to 650W for those hungry video cards compared to 450W for older PSU or some newer model like the Silverstone Extreme 850R. This gives more overhead to keep the PSU cool and quiet.

Cabling is great as it is very flexible for thigh builds like the Dan Case x Lian Li A4-H20. This PSU powers an Intel 13th i7 CPU with a RTX4070 Ti with 32GB of DDR5 Ram and 2 M.2 drives on an Asus Z790-i. A 850W could have done the job but having a 1000W and under load helps with keeping the PSU cool and quiet, plus future proof if I want to switch to a more powerful GPU. Backed with a 10 year warranty kind of push me to go that strategy. This PSU is a must for SFF enthusiast or anyone looking for a super efficient PSU for normal build as it comes with a bracket to install it in a non SFF case.

I honestly don’t have anything negative to say about it except that it still not available in North America and it’s a good thing that I could get my hands on it via Amazon.UK. There is no surprised fees as everything is charged at the checkout and shipping was surprisingly fast for an oversea shipment.

Brought from Amazon EU and shipped to UK fine. Sadly or rather woo me, I picked it up for £268 and 20 days later dropped to under £240! I suspect as Corsair have a 1000w SFX unit which is like the £220 mark.

Anyways as a unit its quality. it is a SFX-L unit and I imagine most picking it up are doing as they have a SFX case, just be aware being a -L unit, it may not fit into all SFX cases. Fortunately for me, no issue. For me it is a ITX living room PC as I tend to play on a larger tv now, so want a compact PC but still pack a punch, in this case the PSU is hooked up to a RTX 4090FE and Ryzen 7800 X3D that packs a punch. Truth be told, even with power slider cranked up, usually in most games sit around 500w with some peaks to 600w or thereabout with some drives and a bunch of RGB. As a result this PSU is more the capable.

Now on the cable side, it comes with a pair of CPU power cables, a single PCIe to PCIe cable which is odd on initial glace, but it also comes with a 12 pin HPWR cable which terminates into 2 x PCIe cables. That means you get up to 3 PCIe cables or GPU’s which will allow most on the market, even those with 3×8 pin to work fine like the 7900 xtx Red devil card. Aside from that, if you have a 40 series GPU with a HPWR cable, then its a nice single cable solution. I have gone for custom sleeved cables, it uses the same pinout as the Seasonic Focus series, so easy to get custom cables for it.

In terms of noise, even when stressing it to 700w it stays pretty quiet, now admittedly I sit 2m or so away and PC is custom loop, but even up close, no weird whine. RGB wise, it connects to a Digital / 3 pin RGB header to control the light show, or leave it unplugged if you want to avoid the light show.

In all, the unit does what you expect, a quality 1000w unit that will power pretty much any gaming PC and CPU / GPU pairing you can have (outside of very extreme stuff that is not really suited for gaming anyways like Threadripper stuff or OC’d workstation chips). it runs quiet and price is fair, more so after I brought it it seems for what you get, always gonna be a slight premium at times of quality SFX units.

Klar es nicht das günstige Netzteil. Aber für ITX Gehäuse so ziemlich das beste. Genug Leistung, RGB und vor allem was mir wichtig war, Qualität und 10 Jahre Garantie! Da scheint ASUS sehr überzeugt von deren Produkt zu sein. 😃

Kaufempfehlung!
