ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has launched its new Thor III series of power supplies, which includes three models: the ROG Thor 1600 W Titanium III, ROG Thor 1200 W Platinum III, and ROG Thor 1000 W Platinum III. These power supplies come with advanced features like gallium nitride (GaN) MOSFETs, GPU-FIRST voltage sensing, and upgraded connectors. Designed for gaming PCs, the Thor III power supplies aim to provide reliable and long-lasting performance. To ensure this, ASUS offers a 10-year warranty on these models.
Next-Generation Power Supply Features
The GaN MOSFETs used in the ASUS ROG Thor III series improve power efficiency by up to 30% compared to standard components. These smaller-sized MOSFETs help in creating a more compact and cooler internal design, allowing the power supply to stay cool even under heavy usage.
One of the key features of the Thor III series is the GPU-FIRST voltage-sensing technology. This system adjusts the power delivery based on the GPU’s needs rather than the CPU’s, ensuring a stable and optimized performance, especially during intense gaming. This feature enhances voltage stability by up to 45% when compared to standard power supplies.
Additionally, the power supplies come with a Turbo Mode, which helps the system stay at maximum load for longer periods. The fan in the power supply adjusts its speed to maintain performance without overheating.
Real-Time Monitoring and Customization
Users who want to keep an eye on the power usage can use the detachable magnetic OLED display that comes with the Thor III power supplies. This display shows real-time power draw and can be easily swapped to different sides of the unit depending on how the power supply is installed.
High-Quality Build for Maximum Performance
The ASUS ROG Thor III power supplies are built with high-quality components, including low-ESR capacitors, ensuring efficient power delivery. The 1200-watt and 1000-watt models are certified with 80 Plus Platinum, while the 1600-watt model has the higher 80 Plus Titanium certification. These certifications mean that the power supplies deliver energy more efficiently, reducing heat and wasted energy.
ROG has also included large heatsinks and aluminum enclosures in the design to improve cooling. The fan inside the power supplies uses dual ball bearings, which last longer than traditional designs, offering up to 80,000 hours of use.
For those who like building their own PCs, the Thor III power supplies come with modular cables that allow users to only use the cables they need, keeping the interior of the PC clean and organized.
Quiet and Reliable Power Delivery
The 1600-watt model in the ASUS ROG Thor III series has been certified with Cybenetics Lambda A+ for noise and Titanium for efficiency, meaning it operates quietly even when delivering high power. This is ideal for users who want a powerful gaming PC without the noise.
Whether you’re a gamer looking to overclock your system or someone who wants a power supply that can handle future upgrades, the ASUS ROG Thor III series is built to meet those needs. With its quiet operation, high-quality construction, and reliable power delivery, the Thor III power supplies are designed to keep your gaming rig running smoothly for years to come.
