Product Overview
The ASUS TUF Gaming Power Supply Unit (PSU) is designed for high-performance computer systems. This unit features a fully modular cable design, allowing for cleaner cable management and improved airflow within your PC chassis. The unit includes a 0dB fan button, which allows the fan to remain stationary under low loads for silent operation, or spin continuously when the button is pressed to disable the 0dB function.
Safety Information
DANGER: The power supply unit contains high-voltage components. Never attempt to open the PSU casing, as this is extremely dangerous and will immediately void your warranty. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
- Do not insert any objects into the PSU ventilation areas.
- Ensure the fan and ventilation areas are free from obstructions to maintain proper airflow.
- Use only the modular cables bundled with the product.
- Operate the unit within the specified environment: 0°C to 40°C temperature and 20% to 80% relative humidity.
- This unit is intended for internal computer integration only and is not suitable for outdoor or external use.
Installation Guide
Before installing or removing any cables, ensure your computer system is completely powered off and disconnected from the wall outlet.
- Secure the PSU into your chassis using the provided mounting screws.
- Connect the necessary modular cables to the PSU.
- Connect the power cables to your motherboard and peripheral devices. Ensure the 24-pin main connector, 4+4 pin CPU connector, and any required PCI-E or SATA connectors are firmly seated.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The PSU requires no internal maintenance. If you encounter power issues, verify that all cable connections are secure and that the power switch is in the correct position.
