ASUS ROG Thor 1200w Platinum Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage


One of my most favourite (and personally terrifying) tests we conduct is the overpower protection. From this, in a nutshell, we crank power through the power supply on a continually rising level. We do this to determine what the maximum wattage output really is and, of course, to make sure that the protections in place work.

Well, firstly, we can confirm that the protections did indeed work. What is perhaps most amazing, however, is that this power supply reached 1706 watts of output before the ‘safeties’ kicked-in. Given that this is 40% over the rated amount (which is 506 watts if you’re struggling to do the maths) this is truly incredible.

Remember, this power supply is only rated to 1200 watts which, by the average gaming PC standard, is about twice what’s usually required. It’s truly amazing to see an OPP score this high!
