ASUS showcases their cutting-edge GaN ROG PSUs at Gamescom 2024

ASUS enhances PSU efficiency and cooling by adopting Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology

At Gamescom 2024, ASUS were eager to show us their latest ROG power supplies, the new ROG THOR III 1600W and ROG Strix 1000W. Both of these new ASUS ROG PSUs utilise Gallium Nitride (GaN) MOSFETs, allowing ASUS to innovate with these new PSU designs.

Moving to Gallium Nitride MOSFETs isn’t just a simple “swap one component for another” process for ASUS. These new ROG PSUs are well thought out. Not only do ASUS’ new MOSFETs enable higher levels of efficiency, but they also allow ASUS to simplify the internal layout of their power supplies. This has allowed ASUS to simplify the cooling of these new ROG PSUs, enabling cooler/quieter operation.

ASUS claims that their new GaN MOSFETs are up to 30% more efficient than standard MOSFETs.

Increased GPU voltage stability with ASUS’ new GaN ROG PSUs

Both the ROG THOR III and Strix Platinum are ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 certified. ASUS has also enhanced these new units with a new 2-pin connector that leads to this PSU’s custom 12V-2×6 power connectors. This add-on is a voltage sensor, which allows both of these new ROG PSUs to tightly monitor and stabilize its power delivery. This helps to ensure GPU power stability, enabling optimal performance.

The ROG Thor also features a magnetic OLED display that can be moved wherever the user wishes. It can be attached magnetically to your power supply, or elsewhere for improved visibility.

The ROG THOR III series is 80+ Titanium power supplies. In contrast, the new ROG Strix series features 80+ Platinum efficiency ratings. Both ratings are high-end, but the THOR series takes things a level higher with its up to 96% power efficiency.

ASUS’ ROG THOR III is also Cybenetic rated. With Cybenetics, the 1600W THOR III it Titanium Efficiency rated and Lamda A+ Noise Rated.
