We review the all-new ASUS ROG THOR power supply from ASUS, we'll peek at the new 1200 Watt Platinum certified model. ASUS aims to release a powerful, efficient and very aesthetically pleasing unit, for the biggest PC aficionados.

Let's face it whenever ASUS stamps a product with a ROG logo, things are a little more enthusiastic then need to be. The THOR is such an example, while most people will never even see the PSU in their chassis, ASUS embedded RGB lighting (Aura sync compatible) as well as a little OLED display that will show your actual measured power consumption (wall side). The looks are just downright terrific. It's not just that though, Seasonic (actually a massively modified PRIME) is the OEM behind this PSU and we all know they make marvelous power supplies, with a bill of materials supplied to them and increased heatsinks for cooling ASUS wanted to bring a PSU series to the market that sets itself aside from others.

And with a 1200 Watt unit, they certainly do. The question remains though, who really needs a 1200 Watt power supply these days? Yep, that's likely far less than 0.01 %? Luckily ASUS is also releasing a far better suited 850 Watt model, which also is more affordable as the 1200W model will cost you a steep $349,- whereas the 850W model can be spotted for $249,-
