ROG Thor III Series
The ROG Thor III Series stands out with a host of unique and innovative features that set it apart from the competition. It includes a patented “GPU-First” engineering design that optimises power delivery directly to the graphics card, enhancing stability and performance under heavy loads. The inclusion of a magnetic OLED display is another key feature, providing real-time power draw data that can be repositioned to either side of the unit to suit any PC build’s orientation. Furthermore, the use of advanced GaN MOSFETs ensures superior efficiency and thermal management.
Features
- GaN MOSFETs deliver up to 30% more power efficiency than standard MOSFETs.
- “GPU-First” voltage sensing with a patented intelligent voltage stabiliser enhances voltage delivery to the graphics card by up to 45% for smoother gaming and unwavering performance.
- Magnetic OLED display shows 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 uses a fine-tuned fan curve to support extended power excursions.
- High-performance copper pins on the cables reduce connector temperature by up to 12°C.
- Custom ROG heatsinks and a fully aluminium enclosure provide superior cooling.
- Dual-ball-fan bearings are rated to last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs, with a lifespan of up to 80,000 hours.
- Etched modular cables with a pliable, premium material ensure effortless cable management.
- ATX 3.1 compliant, ensuring enhanced voltage and current regulation.
- A 10-year warranty is included for long-term peace of mind.
