ASUS's new 3000W workstation PSU supports 4 x RTX 5090s, dual 12V-2x6 gold-plated connectors

ASUS has just announced its new Pro WS Platinum series power supplies, available in 3000W, 2200W, and 1600W variants, capable of powering multiple NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series or RTX PRO 6000 graphics cards.

The new family of ASUS Pro WS Platinum PSUs features 12V-2x6 power connectors that have been upgraded with gold-plated copper pins for cooler operation, increased durability, and improved power delivery efficiency. Inside, the new high-end PSUs sport dual-ball fan bearings and extruding aluminum heatsinks for longer-lasting performance, all in a compact design, and a huge 10-year warranty.

ASUS says that if your workstation is in need of some serious power for 3D rendering or next-gen AI workloads, its new Pro WS Platinum PSUs each provide a different power ceiling -- 3000W, 2200W, or 1600W -- so you can choose the power supply specific to your needs. If you want the monster 3000W PSU, it'll handle 4 x RTX 5090 graphics cards, the 2200W model can handle 4 x RTX 5080s, while the 1600W PSU will support 2 x RTX 5090 graphics cards.

Each of the new ASUS Pro WS Platinum series power supplies are quite compact, measuring in at just 175mm long, making them shorter than some of the 1600W models that are already on the market. The small footprint of the Pro WS Platinum series power supplies means you can install the PSU into a wider range of PC cases, while also making cable management easier, improving airflow.

Designed for a streamlined build process: ASUS Pro WS Platinum series PSUs offer an easy installation experience and efficient, long-lasting performance. Thanks to ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compatibility, these PSUs are ready for the latest hardware. The pliable etched cables deserve some special attention. Distinctly colored CPU and PCIe power connectors and high flexibility enable effortless component installation and cable routing.

Premium power, exceptional efficiency: With ASUS Pro WS Platinum series PSUs, users do not have to choose between high-end wattage or efficiency. Despite being built to deliver an astounding flow of power to high-performance workstation components, these PSUs are remarkably efficient, as their 80 PLUS Platinum certification confirms. Exceptional efficiency is achieved in part due to Japanese server-grade capacitors.

Built to go the distance: The design of ASUS Pro WS Platinum series PSUs places a focus on safety and durability. Each unit features PCIe connectors that offer a variety of benefits and enhanced resistance to the wear-and-tear of insertion and removal. Gold-plated copper pins lower connector temperatures by up to 10°C, versus standard 12V-2x6 connectors. Increased contact between the internal socket pins and connectors also reduces resistance, improving power-delivery efficiency.

To help ensure a long lifespan, the flexible etched cables are constructed of premium materials designed to keep operation at up to 50°C lower than the safety limit. Extruded aluminium heatsinks also cover critical components to keep temperatures and noise low, and dual-ball fan bearings are designed to last up to twice as long as traditional sleeve-bearing designs. Each model also features a protective PCB coating that guards the circuit board against moisture, dust and debris.
