<p><strong>1000W 80 PLUS Platinum Power | PCIe Gen 5.1 Ready | GaN MOSFET Efficiency | Magnetic OLED Display | 10-Year Warranty</strong></p> <h3>Quick Specs</h3> <ul> <li>Achieve elite-level power delivery with 1000W of 80 PLUS Platinum-certified output for your most demanding build</li> <li>Experience next-gen GPU readiness with a PCIe Gen 5.1 16-pin cable capable of delivering up to 600W to your graphics card</li> <li>Enjoy whisper-quiet operation below 15 dB thanks to Cybenetics Lambda A++ certification and 0dB fan technology</li> <li>Monitor your system's real-time power draw at a glance with the signature magnetic OLED display</li> <li>Build with confidence backed by a 10-year warranty and full ATX 3.1 compliance</li> </ul> <h3>Ultimate Power for Uncompromising Builds</h3> <p>The ASUS ROG Thor 1000W Platinum III is built for the discerning builder who refuses to compromise — the flagship gaming rig, the heavily overclocked workstation, the next-gen GPU powerhouse that demands every watt it can get. Fully compliant with the ATX 3.1 standard and equipped with a PCIe Gen 5.1 16-pin cable capable of sending up to 600W to a single graphics card, this PSU is engineered to keep pace with today's most power-hungry hardware without breaking a sweat.</p> <h3>GaN MOSFET and GPU-First Voltage Stability</h3> <p>Tired of voltage fluctuations robbing your GPU of its peak performance? The ROG Thor 1000W Platinum III addresses this with an innovative GaN MOSFET that delivers up to 30% more power efficiency than conventional MOSFETs, while its smaller footprint allows for a more organised internal layout with larger heatsinks and better airflow. The patented 'GPU-First' intelligent voltage stabiliser (IVS) enhances voltage stability by up to 45% by sensing and prioritising power delivery directly to your graphics card — smoothing out the demands of the most intense gaming sessions and overclocking scenarios.</p> <h3>Platinum-Certified Efficiency, Near-Silent Operation</h3> <p>Earning both 80 PLUS Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum certifications, the ROG Thor 1000W Platinum III leverages low-ESR Japanese capacitors for industry-leading efficiency, reduced heat generation, and improved acoustics. The Cybenetics Lambda A++ certification confirms noise output averages below 15 dB — practically inaudible under typical loads. The PWM-controlled dual-ball-bearing fan shuts off entirely when the PSU is operating at or below 30% load in standard mode, and a dedicated 0dB button gives you additional control over fan behaviour as your system transitions between load levels. Dual-ball bearings are rated for up to 80,000 hours of operation — twice the lifespan of sleeve bearing designs.</p> <h3>Magnetic OLED Display, Turbo Mode, and Aura Sync</h3> <p>The ROG Thor 1000W Platinum III goes beyond raw performance with a suite of experience-focused features. The signature magnetic OLED display shows real-time power draw at a glance, and because it attaches magnetically, it can be swapped to either side of the unit to suit fan-up or fan-down PSU installations. Turbo Mode unlocks support for extended power excursions, giving overclocking enthusiasts the headroom they need when pushing hardware to its limits. Etched modular cables in a pliable premium material make routing and management effortless, while Aura Sync ARGB support lets this PSU integrate seamlessly into a synchronised lighting setup.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>GaN MOSFET delivers up to 30% greater power efficiency than standard MOSFETs, with a compact design allowing for improved internal airflow and larger heatsinks</li> <li>Patented 'GPU-First' intelligent voltage stabiliser (IVS) enhances voltage stability by up to 45% for consistent GPU performance during demanding workloads and overclocking</li> <li>PCIe Gen 5.1 16-pin connector supports up to 600W power delivery to next-generation graphics cards; fully ATX 3.1 compliant</li> <li>80 PLUS Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum certified for industry-leading efficiency using low-ESR Japanese capacitors</li> <li>Cybenetics Lambda A++ certified — average noise output below 15 dB for near-silent operation</li> <li>Magnetic OLED display shows real-time power draw; repositionable to either side of the unit for fan-up or fan-down installation</li> <li>0dB fan technology: fan shuts off entirely at or below 30% load; dedicated 0dB button for additional fan control</li> <li>Dual-ball-bearing fan rated for up to 80,000 hours — twice the lifespan of sleeve bearing designs</li> <li>Turbo Mode supports extended power excursions for overclocking and high-demand scenarios</li> <li>Fully modular cable system with etched, pliable premium cables for effortless cable management</li> <li>Aura Sync ARGB support for integrated lighting synchronisation</li> <li>Comprehensive protections: OPP, OVP, UVP, SCP, OCP, OTP</li> <li>10-year warranty included</li> </ul> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Wattage: 1000</li> <li>Efficiency Rating: 80+ Platinum</li> <li>Modularity: Full Modular</li> <li>Form Factor: ATX</li> <li>ATX Standard: ATX 3.1</li> <li>12V-2x6 / PCIe Gen5 Connector: Yes</li> <li>Colour: Silver/Black</li> <li>Warranty: 120 months</li> <li>Product Dimensions (L x W x H): 19.0 x 15.0 x 8.6 cm</li> <li>Product Weight: 2370g</li> </ul> <h3>What's in the Box</h3> <ul> <li>ASUS ROG Thor 1000W Platinum III Power Supply – Silver/Black x1</li> <li>Power Cord x1</li> <li>Motherboard Power Cable (610mm) x1</li> <li>CPU Cable (1000mm) x2</li> <li>PCIe Gen 5.1 16-pin Cable (750mm) x1</li> <li>PCIe Cable 1-to-1 (750mm) x4</li> <li>SATA Cable 1-to-4 (400+120+120+120mm) x1</li> <li>SATA Cable 1-to-3 (400+120+120mm) x1</li> <li>Peripheral 1-to-3 (400+150+150mm) x2</li> <li>Addressable RGB Cable (800mm) x1</li> <li>ROG Sticker x1</li> <li>ROG Cable Tie x6</li> <li>Chassis Screws Package x1</li> <li>Cable Tie x12</li> <li>User Manual x1</li> </ul> <h3>Why ASUS</h3> <p>ASUS ROG — Republic of Gamers — has spent decades engineering hardware for those who demand the absolute best.
