Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads
Efficiency is high at normal loads and light loads with 115V input. It is high enough at light loads and 230V input and satisfactory with a 2% load.
Average Efficiency
The unit’s average efficiency is high enough, but it doesn’t take the lead from other high-end platforms that don’t use GaN FETs in the APFC converter, primarily at 230V. This proves my point that the GaN FETs are mainly used for marketing since the PSU’s design doesn’t exploit them.
Average PF
The APFC converter has decent performance.
Average Efficiency 5VSB
The 5VSB rail is highly efficient.
Vampire Power
Vampire power is increased.

I have been using asus thor 1000w p2 for about 1 month. coil whine sound is coming regardless of whether the computer is off or on. the computer case is on my desk 60-70cm away from my ear distance.
coil whine can be from the hardware combination, not only from the PSU. Please note that.
Hi Aris,
Are you going to test the new Asus Thor III 1000w? I ordered the Asus strix ATX3.1 1000w Platinum, but I’m wondering if it’s better to go with the new Thor that was announced today.
In your experience, Great wall vs CWT, which one is better? (As I understood the new Thor is manufactured by CWT)
Hi! Unfortunately Asus marketing doesn’t know my existance. They don’t consider me a KOL (key opinion leader)

aris did u tested some einarex psu, because i’ve seen one of them certified by cybenetics gold, i was wonder about the internals of these psu because my fellow worries about it because it’s not listed at the cybenetics websites, would you review it on hwbusters too ?
Hi! We tested them but have not issued the official certs yet.
I have an insider tip that the Rog Thor III 1200W Platinum is also based on the Enchance (a more advanced platform), so you shouldn’t expect much better performance (+ they replaced the fancy fabric-braided cables with mediocre PVC-braided ones, exactly the same as this one Strix).
In general, we can say that Thor III Platinum has achieved the status of a premium power supply.

Thor III Platinum has lost the status of a premium power supply)
Sad that the GaN mosfets was just a marketing gimmick here. Now I wonder if you can check if this is also the case with the ROG Thor 1200W Platinum III which is, supposedly a more premium plat PSU or if there is no point in it compared to the Strix plat in performance. But also the ROG THOR 1600W Titanium III when compared to the previous Thor Titanium.
