ASUS TUF Gaming 850W Gold

An 850W 80 Plus Gold, fully modular supply with a 12V-2x6 (12VHPWR) connector, dual ball-bearing fan, and PCB coating for durability, a rugged enthusiast-tier unit. The build and ATX 3.x-ready connector suit TUF or ASUS-themed mid-to-high builds. On a tight budget it's beatable: the data notes the MSI A850GL covers the same 850W for less, so this is for buyers who value the TUF durability touches.

Compatibility

Built around ATX, PCIe 5.0. Make sure the rest of your build uses the same platform before you buy — mismatched sockets, mounts or standards are the most common return reason. Check it in the builder →

Upgrade path

Outgrow it and the Corsair HX1200i (2025) 1200W Platinum is the natural next step up in power supplies. See it →
