ASUS just rolled out new power supplies for serious computer users who need tons of electricity. The Pro WS series comes in three sizes that can handle 1600, 2200, or 3000 watts of power. These units earned the 80 Plus Platinum badge, which means they work really well without wasting energy. People who run multiple graphics cards or other heavy computer parts will love how steady these power supplies perform.
The company made one smart change that catches your eye right away. They colored their 12VHPWR connectors purple instead of the usual yellow that other brands use. This bright purple color helps users see if they plugged the cable in all the way. Many people have had problems with these new connectors because they can overheat or break if you don't push them in completely.
ASUS also put gold coating on the metal pins inside these purple connectors. The gold makes the connections run about 10 degrees cooler than regular pins. Cooler connections mean less electrical resistance and better performance when you push your system hard. These power supplies can feed up to four NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics cards at once.
The company backs these units with a 10-year promise to fix or replace them if they break. ASUS hasn't said when these will hit stores or what they'll cost.
