The ASUS ROG THOR 1200W is the first power supply we have seen from long time enthusiast and DIY giant ASUS. At 1200 watts, ASUS is dropping its first product into a realm where most brands drop their premier products. (There is an 850 watt ROG THOR model as well.

ASUS has an excellent offering with the Thor power supplies. Their problem, however, is that there is no need for a 1200 Watt model. Sure, last year there was a spike in super-high efficiency power supplies over a kilowatt, but that was for the cryptocurrency mining farms.

If you don't mind the extra cost, this is a beautiful and quality PSU. The base PSU components are actually manufactured by Seasonic, which I normally choose for all my other builds and are top quality. I have never had a Seasonic PSU fail or cause stability issues with a system in many years of using their products. ASUS has added value with the LED lighting, OLED display (which is actually accurate, and a bit useful), and many extras included in the box such as high quality braided cables and cable combs.

Very quiet! Real-time KW monitoring! super cool !!!

You can't go wrong with ASUS and their ROG line up. It handles any system like a champ. So if you have the coin for it, i would pick it up in a heartbeat. Just make sure you know you may not be able to see the lcd panel on the side depending on your case. Otherwise it is a fantastic power supply and it has Rgb.

It may be on the expensive side but it is exactly as advertised and I am very happy with it
