Just wondered what your thoughts are on the Asus ROG Strix 1000W Gold Aura Edition.
I’ve been waiting for the Seasonic PX-1000/1200, although tempted by the GX then I spotted the aura. I’m guessing it’s the GX rebadged with small upgrades so maybe worth it.
Do you think it’s fine to run it with a 13700k and 4080?
 
Thank you, also for the alternatives, I think the main reason for sticking with Seasonic / Asus is the fan, I’ve probably overspent on fans and keeping my PC silent as it is. I know I’ll probably regret going with ASUS due to previous experience with their support.
 
If you mean when idle, with modern PSUs they usually have a fan stop under a % load, so I'd be more concerned about coil whine, buzzing 'n stuf
Agreed, part of the reason I stuck with the 4080, I tried a few 4090s but had a lot of coil whine, the setup I have now is near enough silent, I think my biggest issue is getting my head around gold and platinum ratings. When I do replace the current psu I’d be gutted if I started hearing weird noises.
