ASUS Republic of Gamers Unveils Thor III Power Supply Series
Pushing PC gaming power efficiency to new heights while staying cool under pressure
- GaN MOSFET delivers up to 30% more power efficiency than standard MOSFETs and a more organized internal layout for cooler operation
- GPU-FIRST voltage sensing with patented intelligent voltage stabilizer enhances voltage delivery to the graphics card by up to 45% for smoother gaming
- Magnetic OLED display shows a real-time power draw and can be swapped to either side of the unit to accommodate fan-up or fan-down PSU installation
- Turbo Mode: Premium components and a fine-tuned fan curve unlock support for extended power excursions
TAIPEI, Taiwan, October 16, 2024 — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the Thor III series of power supplies, which includes the ROG Thor 1600W Titanium III, ROG Thor 1200W Platinum III and ROG Thor 1000W Platinum III. Featuring gallium nitride (GaN) MOSFETs, GPU-FIRST voltage sensing, high-performance copper pins, upgraded PCIe® connectors, a detachable magnetic OLED display, etched modular cables, ATX 3.1 compatibility and much more, an ROG Thor power supply is an excellent backbone to your next gaming rig. ASUS is so sure of that fact that it includes a 10-year warranty with these PSUs, so users know they are set for incredible, long-lasting performance.
ROG Thor III Series: next-gen premium PSU components
The GaN MOSFETs inside the ROG Thor III series can deliver up to 30% more power efficiency than standard MOSFETs. Since these MOSFETs offer the same performance in a smaller size, Thor III PSUs benefit from an optimized internal layout that keeps units cool, no matter the load.
These PSUs also offer the new ASUS GPU-FIRST voltage-sensing technology, allowing units to detect voltage based on the GPU instead of the CPU. Power delivery is adapted more quickly as a GPU’s demands change, helping to ensure stable, optimal performance. The intelligent voltage stabilizer enhances voltage delivery by up to 45% versus a PSU without this feature.
Additionally, these PSUs pack a Turbo Mode that harnesses the full power of the Thor III Series’ premium components and uses a specific fan curve to stay at peak load for longer.
If users want to monitor the PSU’s real-time power draw, the Thor III Series makes it easy. Each PSU features a detachable magnetic OLED display that can be swapped to either side of the unit to accommodate PSU installation preference, keeping the display visible whether the unit is mounted with the fan facing up or down.
Optimized construction for optimal performance
ROG Thor III PSUs feature everything users have come to expect from top-tier ROG power supplies, including 80 PLUS Platinum certification on the 1200-watt and 1000-watt models and 80 PLUS Titanium certification on the 1600-watt model. Thanks to their low-ESR capacitors, users can expect the absolute peak of efficient power delivery.
ROG heatsinks and fully aluminum enclosures ensure superior cooling that keeps the unit’s thermals in check. And for added longevity, these PSUs feature dual ball bearings on the fan, which can last up to 80,000 hours – twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.
Thor III PSUs also feature ROG etched modular cables, so DIY PC builders can assemble their rigs with only the cables they need to keep things tidy.
Another noteworthy benefit, the 1600-watt model features Cybenetics Lambda A+ noise & Titanium certification, meaning that it operates exceptionally quietly — perfect for users aiming to build a silent but powerful desktop.
Power delivery you can rely on
When assembling a state-of-the-art gaming PC with the strongest components on the market, users need to protect that investment with a premium power supply that will safely fuel their hardware. Whether the user is an overclocking enthusiast with extreme power needs or a prudent gamer who wants a PSU that can power upgrades for years to come, the ROG Thor III series stands ready. Featuring quiet operation, premium construction and unrivaled power delivery, these units can rise to any challenge thrown at them.
