ASUS Pro WS Power Supplies: Heavy-Duty Wattage for Intense Setups
ASUS is stepping up to the plate with its newest Pro WS series of power supplies, and these aren't your run-of-the-mill PSUs. We're talking serious heavy-duty wattage for the most intense professional and enterprise setups.
There are three models in the series, all built to handle the latest PCIe 5.1 and ATX 3.1 specifications, which ensures compatibility with the latest hardware.
The 3000-Watt Titan: Quad RTX 5090 Possibility
Topping the list is an absolute beast – a 3000-watt power supply. The flagship model boasts four 12V-2x6 connectors. What does that mean in practical terms. ASUS estimates it's theoretically possible to support an astonishing four GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards. Consider the rendering potential.
The 2200-Watt Contender: Still Room for Four
Not far behind, the 2200-watt model also has four of those all-important 16-pin connectors. It is not officially certified for four RTX 5090s, but ASUS indicates it's safe for four RTX 5080 graphics cards, which is still an enormous amount of graphical horsepower.
The 1600-Watt Foundation: Dual Power
For slightly less extreme, though still very powerful configurations, the 1600-watt model includes two 12V-2x6 connectors, perfect for a dual high-end GPU setup.
Built Tough and Certified
Throughout, these Pro WS power supplies are built with reliability in mind. They boast comprehensive protection for under/over voltage, overheating, short circuit, and power/current overload. You can also expect the best possible efficiency, with all models 80 Plus Platinum certified and including a power factor corrector.
A note for those who desire absolute silence: these units lack a "quiet mode" where the fan stops at low loads. Focused as they are on high-demand professional uses, ongoing cooling is prioritized.
Availability and Pricing
ASUS has yet to announce the precise launch dates or pricing of these new Pro WS power supplies. Nevertheless, for professionals and companies creating substantial power-hungry systems, these are devices worth looking out for.
