ASUS ROG LOKI 850W Platinum SFX PSU Review

A Closer Look – Internal

The top panel is separate from the PSU and can be removed via four small screws. This makes it easy to clean but also makes cleaning that clear fan a little easier.

The fan looks stunning, I haven’t seen a clear blade fan in a long time, so I’ll be eager to see how well this illuminates with the RGB, which often is seen on more milky-coloured fan blades.

I won’t lie, I am defeated, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to open this PSU, and I really did try, but it got to the point where I was going to do more harm than good. However, I can see in there, a pair of large capacitors. They’re both from Rubycon 420v and the largest is rated at 470 uF, while the other is 330 uF, which is a lot for such a small PSU! All the capacitors in the PSU are rated at 105c.

From what I can see, it looks very clean in here, with some large DC-DC converters, and smaller 3.3v and 5v converters on the otherside.

There is a very clean-looking AC line-in with filtering and shielding, as well as a range of protections to prevent against brownouts, power spikes and other unwanted phenomena from your power lines.

There’s a large heatsink running down the MOSFETs, with a cut aluminium design that matches the PSU exterior. There’s also a bank of capacitors on the connector board, which will help with voltage stability and ripple.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
