I want to buy one Strix Aura 1200W (Black) and one 1000W Aura (White) power supply. I plan to swap the components of the 1200W with the 1000W, putting the 1200W components in the white casing and vice versa. I intend to use the black one in an older black gaming system that consumes about 550W under stress, and the white unit with a more recent platform that an 850W Thor PSU cannot handle, obviously in a white build.
Since the OEM and platform of these two PSUs are the same, it should be an easy job for me. However, I want to know what challenges might arise and what you would do if you were in my place and had a White O11 XL case where the PSU is not visible at all. Would you go for a swap or just buy whatever PSU that is good enough?
