For example, Titanium certification indicates that it is required an efficiency greater than 90% for loads ranging from 10% to 100%.
ROG Thor power supplies are also designed for run without fan up to 50% load. When this threshold is exceeded, the 1600W, 1200W and 1000W models take advantage of a new 135mm fan made with the latest design axial-tech to better circulate the air. Additionally, large ROG heatsinks help cool ICs and components, extending the life of the most heat-sensitive parts. This mission of excellence allows all power supplies in the new ROG Thor family to achieve the Lambda A ++ certification, the most stringent acoustic performance standard defined by the independent test company Cybenetics. To meet the specifications of this high standard, power supplies must produce noise below 15 dBA during the testing process.
