ASUS has unveiled its newest high-end power supply unit, the ROG Thor III series, which boasts impressive features and advanced technology. This range includes models starting from 1,000W and going up to a powerful 1,600W, making it ideal for enthusiasts who want top-tier setups.
Key Features
A standout aspect of these PSUs is the magnetic OLED display. Unlike older versions that are fixed in one location, this display can be positioned wherever it's most convenient, making it adaptable to different case designs. It also provides real-time information on power consumption.
ASUS has embraced GaN technology throughout the entire series, potentially improving efficiency by up to 30% compared to standard MOSFETs. This innovation means the units operate cooler and more effectively while adhering to the ATX form factor.
Enhanced Stability
The lineup also features GPU-First voltage sensing along with a smart voltage stabilizer. According to ASUS, this setup delivers 45% more stable power to the graphics card, enhancing overall performance.
Turbo mode activates to handle prolonged peak loads, thanks to a carefully calibrated fan curve. The fans are dual-ball bearing types, designed for a lifespan of up to 80,000 hours, ensuring significant reliability over time.
Power Options and Components
The ROG Thor III series offers three power alternatives:
Every model includes low-ESR capacitors, ROG-branded heatsinks, all-aluminum exteriors, and modular cables adorned with ROG style.
While ASUS hasn't disclosed the pricing yet, the previous ROG Thor 1600T was priced at $699, so you can anticipate these new options to be similarly priced.
On a positive note, ASUS supports these power supplies with a robust 10-year warranty, providing customers with confidence regarding long-term performance and durability.
