It is well known that for the not too distant future, if we want to opt for top-of-the-line graphics cards and CPUs to have the best gaming experience, energy consumption will be a problem. Electricity costs apart, it will be essential and mandatory to upgrade to a power supply with a lot, a lot of power, which are starting to reach 1000 W. ASUS has seen that those 1000 W can fall short and for this reason it is already preparing the ROG -THOR-1600T-GAMING of 1600 W.
ASUSTeK has introduced the ROG-THOR-1600T-GAMING, a 1600W power supply with 80 PLUS TITANIUM certification and with full modular specificationsASUS claims it has earned the top “Lambda A++” rating from Cybenetics Labs.
A great power supply for future high-end graphics
The ASUS ROG-THOR-1600T-GAMING comes with “a huge ROG heatsink“, which is more than twice the size of a standard PSU. It also features a 135mm Axial-tech fan. Its semi-fanless mode causes it to shut off when the load is 50% or less, which is why ASUS calls it the 1600W silent PSU.
This power supply uses carefully selected high-quality components, such as Japanese-made capacitors and high-efficiency Gallium Nitride MOSFETs. The +12V circuit supports up to 133,3A output and it has a single rail design that is resistant to high output.
Its modular cable is also made of a high-quality sleeved cable. It also includes a 16-pin connector that supports PCI-Express 5.0 and can supply up to 600 W of power. On the side, an “OLED power display” has also been placed, which shows the system’s power consumption. Its external dimensions are 150 mm wide, 190 mm deep, 86 mm high and 2,69 kg in weight. The manufacturer offers a ten-year warranty.
With all this, it is seen that high-capacity power supplies are going to be much more common, along with the PCI Experess 5.0 cable that has been insisting so much to be a standard in power supplies and high-end graphics cards. we can expect many other manufacturers to make such solutions for enthusiasts who want future high-capacity graphics cards like the rumored RTX 4000, which is speculated to have very high power consumption.
