ASUS ROG Thor 1000W Platinum II Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage

Although officially rated to 1000 watts of power output, it is never unusual that a power supply is capable of producing a significant amount over that value. While this is, of course, never recommended (you should always buy a PSU suitable for your components) it is important to know that if things are pushed too hard that protections are in place to prevent any damage to not just your PSU, but also potentially your system’s components.

With this in mind, therefore, we can happily confirm that after achieving a maximum wattage output of 1495 (nearly 50% above the official rated amount) the OPP worked perfectly to successfully shut the PSU down before any risk of damage was entertained.
