Posted September 19, 2018 As if we didn't have enough RGB, Asus has now decided to tie in an OLED to some actually really good psus. Here's the product page Quote The new ROG Thor is the first consumer PSU featuring an integrated OLED power display. It shows real-time power usage so you can see what kind of wattage your system is pulling from the wall at any given time. There are software solutions that do the same thing, though if your PSU is visible inside your case, we suppose this could come in handy for some people. Of course, RGB lighting is part of the package too. There are addressable RGB LEDs that users can customize with Aura Sync-compatible motherboards. Beyond the bling, the guts of the ROG Thor are based on Seasonic's Prime series, "but optimized on components and heatsinks." According to Asus, the integrated ROG heatsinks have 2x more volume than traditional designs, resulting in 20 percent lower temps inside. It also features "top-end Japanese capacitors" and is 80 Plus Platinum certified. To the company's credit, Seasonic has a reputation for building reliable power supplies. It's also backing the ROG Thor with a 10-year warranty, save for the OLED display and RGB lighting, which are guaranteed for three years. This is a fully modular power supply with sleeved cables. There are two models: 1200W and 850W. The 1200W will be available later this month for $250 (€250). The 850W model will also hit stores this month, though pricing has yet to be announced. Prices aren't terrible for a 1200w titanium, and at least it's got good cables from the factory. Super gimmicky though, and I'm not convinced we need heatsinks on psus anyway, a single fan does just fine.

Chief among them are Apple fanboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 19, 2018 Well, at least it's most likely going to be an incredibly good power supply internally. Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

Posted September 19, 2018 Like I said... Spoiler RGB F*CK!NG EVERYTHING ! You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile. I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here. If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 19, 2018 The funny part about it is that even if you like it or not the RGB trend is going to continue and other manufacturers will have to follow (in their mind they have to) and eventually when you buy your next power supply almost all good ones will have RGB/or OLEDs so you will buy one even if you want it or not.

Posted September 19, 2018 It's like when design houses like Pininfarina partners with Caterpillar to create a good looking digger. I mean, it's a nice looking digger, but putting OLED on a PSU is like putting OLED on your socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
