    I really like my ASUS Thor 850w Platinum PSU with watts being used display & ARGB, this 1000w version wasn't available originally, I would have defo bought the 1000w version if it had been. Great believer in plenty of spare watts, long before the latest flagship graphics cards power requirements.

    that is one expensive psu... my next psu will be from seasonic and mostlikly 750-850watt, i not going down this 1000watt psu let along 1600+ watts or 300+ watt gpu route.

    and this if i even bother to make new pc consider how stupid pricing is going, nice to psu that DONT have rgb fan even if there seem to be rgb in shell

    Nah, not interested in any PSU's made by the big three, will always go for PSU's from Seasonic, Corsair, Enermax, etc. Heck, I'm gonna swap my Corsair HX1000 Plat for my spare Enermax MAX REVO 1500W PSU just because.....just need to get my lazy butt off my chair or couch to actually do it.

    Lol, the ASUS Rog Thor Platinum is a Seasonic PSU with mods added by ASUS and I've had several excellent Corsair PSU's for my gaming rig, I'd describe Corsair & Seasonic as two of the big PSU manufacturers.
    PS: Perhaps you should be posting your travel plans on a travel forum?

    I have the Seasonic Fanless TX-700 myself even though my case (Fractal Define 7) has a PSU cover, it's vented and i have a fan blowing through the cover anyways :)

    Was also expensive af, but worth it as silent enthousiast.

    Well, when I had mentioned the 'big three', I was talking about Asus, MSI and Gigabyte, not PSU makers like Corsair, Seasonic, Enermax and such.

    My bad, I will not mention anything aside relevant subject from now on. I have edited and deleted anything irrelevant in my above post as well.

    Was not aware Corsair was a PSU OEM.
