Asus has announced its new ROG Thor III series PSUs that have been built to meet the demands of upcoming power-hungry components like Nvidia’s expected RTX 5090 GPUs, which are rumored to consume up to 600W of power. With PCIe 5.0 connectors, ATX 3.0 compliance, and wattage ranging between 1000 and 1600, it’s clear the Thor III series should be more than up to the task of powering the next generation of computer components.
A standout feature is Asus’ “GPU-FIRST” voltage-sensing technology. As the name suggests, it means the PSU will prioritize the GPU over the CPU. This seems sensible, considering it’s the new GPUs that may eat up the watts. The feature is paired with a patented “intelligent voltage stabilizer”, which Asus says enhances voltage delivery by up to 45%.
