Top-of-the-line gaming PCs require top-of-the-line power supplies. So, for enthusiasts with the most extreme gaming rigs in need of maximum power efficiency, we’re introducing the ROG Thor III Series, available in 1600W, 1200W, and 1000W variants. 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 so much more, an ROG Thor power supply is an excellent backbone to your next gaming rig. We’re so sure of that fact that we include a 10-year warranty with these PSUs, so you know you’re set for incredible, long-lasting performance.

ROG Thor III Series: the next generation of premium PSU components

The GaN MOSFETs inside the ROG Thor III Series can deliver up to 30% more power efficiency than standard MOSFETs, making them ideal for your next PC. Since these MOSFETs offer the same performance in a smaller size, the Thor III PSUs benefit from an optimized internal layout that keeps units cool no matter the load.

These PSUs also offer our new GPU-FIRST voltage sensing technology, allowing units to detect voltage based on the GPU instead of the CPU, adapting its power delivery more quickly as your GPU’s demands change to ensure stable, optimal performance. Our intelligent voltage stabilizer enhances voltage delivery by up to 45% when compared to delivery without the stabilizer.

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. Go ahead — the high-endurance Thor III Series can take it.

If you want to monitor the PSUs’ 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 your PSU installation preference, keeping the display visible whether your unit is mounted with the fan facing up or down.

In addition to the above perks, ROG Thor III PSUs feature everything you’ve come to expect from ROG’s top-tier power supplies, including 80 PLUS Platinum certification on the 1200W and 1000W models and 80 PLUS Titanium certification on the 1600W. Thanks to these units’ low-ESR capacitors, expect the absolute peak of efficient power delivery.

When it comes to temperatures, 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 our etched modular cables, so DIY PC builders can assemble their rigs with only the cables they need to keep things tidy.

Plus, if you go for the 1600W variant, it features Cybenetics Lambda A+ noise & Titanium certification, meaning it operates exceptionally quietly — perfect for when you’re trying to build a silent-but-beastly desktop.

Power delivery you can rely on

When you assemble a state-of-the-art gaming PC with the strongest components on the market, you need to protect that investment with a premium power supply that’ll safely fuel your hardware. Whether you’re an overclocking enthusiast with extreme power needs or a prudent gamer who wants their PC futureproofed with a PSU ready to power upgrades for years to come, the ROG Thor III Series stands ready. Between their quiet builds, premium construction, and unrivaled power delivery, these units will rise to any challenge you throw at them.
