ASUS ROG Thor Series Power Supplies Release Date Announced, Price Revealed

ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) has officially released their new ROG Thor series power supplies in the Philippines. The new PSU, which were initially revealed back during Computex 2018 a few months ago, is available in 850W and 1200W models and come with high-end features such as 80 PLUS Platinum certification, larger ROG heatsinks, a dust-resistant IP5X-certified Wing-blade fan, an OLED display, and addressable RGB LEDs.

The ASUS ROG Thor series power supplies feature custom ROG heatsinks with twice the surface area than standard PSU heatsink designs, making for better cooling and quieter operation under load. It also comes with a large 135mm Wing-blade fan, the same one used for the company’s high-end graphics card coolers, that is said to offer increased static pressure for better cooling at lower RPMs. The PSU also has a rear-mounted 0dB switch which lets the fan stop completely when the PSUs temperature is low.

The ROG Thor series power supplies also come with an embedded OLED display, a first for consumer PSUs, that shows real-time overall system power draw. Lastly, the front of the Thor series power supplies feature an ROG logo with addressable RGB lighting that is compatible with the company’s Aura Sync software.

The ROG Thor series power supplies already come with sleeved 24-pin ATX, 6-2-pin PCIe, and 4.4-pin EPS cables as well as cable combs to make it more convenient for builders to manage their cables. The power supplies also come with unsleeved 8/6-pin PCIe, SATA, 4-pin Molex, and floppy cables.
