ROG Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum Power Supply Unboxing
Among the ASUS ROG power supply product series, the models that pass the Intel ATX 3.0 specification and natively support 12VHPWR cables are currently only ROG STRIX AURA and the ROG Loki SFX-L brought to you today. For the mainstream grade, there is TUF Gaming 1000W Gold ATX 3.0 version to choose from.
The high-end ROG Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum is available in 1000W/850W/750W, and if you want to assemble a white-themed computer, there is a white version ROG Loki SFX-L 850W White Edition Platinum.
ROG Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum has passed the Intel ATX 3.0 specification and 80 Plus+ Cybenetics Platinum double-platinum conversion efficiency certification, and provides native 16Pin 12VHPWR cables for players to use with NVIDIA RTX 30/40 series graphics cards, using Aura Sync to customize The 120mm ARGB axial fan with lighting effect brings stable heat dissipation performance and unique appearance to ROG Loki SFX-L. After-sales maintenance is convenient and there is a 10-year global warranty.

∆ The boxed package indicates the load range and the number of power supply connectors.
ROG Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum is different from common ATX power supplies. It adopts the smaller SFX-L specification that is often installed with ITX cases. The size of the power supply itself is 125 x 125 x 63.5 mm. Power monsters such as RTX 4090 and i9 13900K.
There is a reflective mirror on one side of the power supply and the words ROG SFX-L 1000W are printed on it. It is matched with “Republic of Gamers” and the eye of faith cover to create a different sense of hierarchy, but it is a pity that the mirror only has a reflective effect, and it does not appear after power on. The wattage will be displayed like the Thor series, and the direction of the power supply fan is facing downward to simulate the normal bottom-mounted power supply installation display. If there is a viewing window in the power compartment of the case, you will see a large ROG embossed logo.
∆ The power supply fan is placed upwards, and you can see the mirror-shaped design on the side.
∆ There is a big ROG logo on the common bottom power supply.
Although Loki is an SFX-L specification power supply, it is still equipped with a 120mm axial fan to help the internal PCB chip dissipate heat. The axial fan has a longer service life and double ball bearings. ≤40% will automatically stop, through the 0dB smart fan function to get a more extreme quiet use experience.
As can be seen from the foreign object isolation grid, the internal components are equipped with a silver brushed ROG heatsink to help dissipate heat. ROG Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum has passed the new ATX 3.0 specification certification, and ATX 3.0 can provide 2 times power in a very short time (100μs) The most important thing in the ATX 3.0 specification is to increase the requirements for Power Excursion (that is, the instantaneous peak power consumption POWER SPIKE/PEAK POWER we often talk about). The PCIE CEM organization pointed out that the Power Excursion of the new generation of graphics cards in the future (100 microseconds) has the opportunity to achieve 3 times the continuous (1 second) power level, but Intel finally decided to require the ATX 3.0 power supply (in the model with 12VHPWR connector) to provide 2 times the overall rated power, STEPHEN EASTMAN explained The reason why it will be reduced to only 2 times is because after many discussions with various power supply manufacturers, it is concluded that 2 times is a more cost-effective solution.
