ASUS ROG Thor 1200w Platinum Power Supply Review

Ripple
With this being a high-performance power supply, providing 1200 watts of power, it was hard to know exactly what to expect from the ripple results. In the past, we have often seen higher wattage supplies provide more inconsistent results, but that can vary. In terms of the results for the ASUS ROG Thor, the ripple results are amongst some of the best we have seen.
The 3.3 and 5v results are remarkable low throughout all the power tests. While the 12v is a little more excitable at the 20% mark (which may explain the PFC and efficiency results at this level) it’s still massively within the acceptable limits (which are allowed to go as high as 50 by EU standards).
| Load (%) | 3.3V Ripple | 5V Ripple | 12V Ripple |
| 20 | 4.4 | 3.2 | 16.6 |
| 40 | 4.8 | 3.2 | 11.6 |
| 60 | 5.4 | 3.2 | 10 |
| 80 | 6.2 | 4.2 | 10.2 |
| 100 | 5.8 | 3.6 | 11.6 |
