The ASUS ROG Thor power supply has a 0DB fan feature. This essentially means that when switched on, the fan will only operate if absolutely necessary. You could call this a form of ‘hybrid/passive’ cooling, but it’s not really an accurate description as rather than running at a lower speed (which is what most hybrid systems do) this simply doesn’t run.
In terms of passive cooling, the ASUS ROG Thor did remarkably well. At 100% load, running for 10 minutes, the fan did not operate once. If noise is a key factor to your system, it’s a major plus for this power supply.
In standard operating mode though, the fan ran at a speed that would be fair to call a consistent 600rpm. As such, even with the fan running, it was remarkable low-key and very quiet!
