Thor III, a new series of ATX 3.1 power supplies that is said to push PC gaming power efficiency to new heights thanks to the inclusion of several premium features, including GPU-FIRST—a voltage-sensing technology that allows units to detect voltage based on the GPU rather than GPU, ensuring optimal performance—is coming to retailers, ASUS Republic of Gamers has announced. The new PSUs, which also count GaN MOSFETs and a detachable magnetic OLED display as some of their key features, will be available in 1600W, 1200W, and 1000W output capacities. A look at Thor III’s GPU-FIRST voltage-sensing technology can be found below.
These PSUs also offer the new ASUS GPU-FIRST voltage-sensing technology, allowing units to detect voltage based on the GPU instead of the CPU. Power delivery is adapted more quickly as a GPU’s demands change, helping to ensure stable, optimal performance. The intelligent voltage stabilizer enhances voltage delivery by up to 45% versus a PSU without this feature.
Additionally, these PSUs pack a Turbo Mode that harnesses the full power of the Thor III Series’ premium components and uses a specific fan curve to stay at peak load for longer.
If users want to monitor the PSU’s real-time power draw, the Thor III Series makes it easy. Each PSU features a detachable magnetic OLED display that can be swapped to either side of the unit to accommodate PSU installation preference, keeping the display visible whether the unit is mounted with the fan facing up or down.
