In most machines the power supply is the one part nobody ever sees, buried under a shroud at the floor of the case. In a build with a glass panel and an open or vented basement it is suddenly on show, and this unit is made for exactly that situation — an addressable Aura light bar along the visible edge, driven by the same software as the rest of your ASUS parts rather than a second app fighting it. Behind the light: 1000W Gold on ATX 3.1 with a native 12V-2×6 cable.

What It Pairs With
The case decides whether this unit makes sense at all, so start there: you want a basement with a window, a cut-out or open sides rather than a solid shroud. From there, other Aura-capable parts mean one piece of software sets the whole machine rather than three arguing over it. On the electrical side, 1000W comfortably covers a Ryzen 9 or Core Ultra 9 with a card near the top of the range, so nothing about the lighting comes at the cost of the specification.
Who This Isn’t For
A case with a solid steel shroud over the basement hides the light bar completely, and then the lighting is a cost with nothing to show for it — check your case before anything else, and we will check it with you. The same goes for a machine that lives under a desk or behind a monitor. And if you keep lighting switched off because it distracts you while you play, this is simply the wrong unit to be looking at.
Common Questions
Will the lighting actually be visible in my case?
That depends entirely on the shroud. Send us your case model and we will tell you honestly whether the light bar will be seen or buried — there is no point paying for it if the answer is buried.
Does it sync with parts from other brands?
Aura Sync works with a good range of third-party components, though not everything. Tell us the fans, cooler and memory you are using and we will say what will fall into line and what will need its own control.
Can the lighting be turned off?
Yes, entirely, in software. Some people run it dark most of the time and bright when there is company. Switching it off does not affect anything about how the supply works.
Send your case model first so we can confirm the light bar will actually be visible, along with your graphics card and processor for the wattage check. This one is ordered in rather than held in stock, so ask us for the current lead time with the quote.
