Included are a variety of modular, sleeved cables, plus other accessories.

General Features

ASUS Aura Sync

ASUS Aura Sync is an illumination ecosystem that lets you synchronize lighting effects across your gaming rig, components, and peripherals. The ROG Thor 850W Platinum has addressable Aura RGB LEDs built in and ready for you to create your custom look.

Two included connector cables allow you to plug directly into your ASUS motherboard or create a daisy chain with ROG Addressable LED Strips. Without using the Aura Sync function, the default effect and color will be static red.

OLED Power Display

The ROG Thor 850W Platinum features an integrated OLED panel, offering a real-time display of its power draw. Now, you can see at a glance how much juice your rig is using.

Wing-Blade Fan

ASUS has equipped the ROG Thor 850W Platinum with a 135mm Wing-Blade fan to maximize component lifespan. IP5X dust resistance keeps it spinning freely and 0 db technology utilizes thermal sensors to allow the fan to switch off completely at lower wattages and enabling silent operation.

ROG Heatsink

The integrated ROG heatsinks have more volume than traditional designs, resulting in lower temperatures inside the ROG Thor 850W Platinum. This enables cooler operations, extending the lifespan of components and allowing 0 dB operation long after standard designs would have to spin up their fans.

80 Plus Platinum Certification

The ROG Thor 850W Platinum utilizes Japanese capacitors to help ensure efficient operations. This has earned an 80 PLUS Platinum certification, which delivers 89% efficiency at 100% loads, 92% at 50% loads, and 90% efficiency at 20% loads. The increased efficiency produces less heat, reducing fan noise and increasing reliability.

Sleeved Cables

ASUS knows you'll want to get building right away, so they've included high-quality sleeved and standard cables. The sleeved cables include 24-pin motherboard, 6+2-pin PCIe, and 8-pin CPU. They've also included an RGB connector that plugs into the addressable RGB header on your ASUS motherboard.

Limited 10-Year Warranty

ASUS backs the ROG Thor 850W Platinum with a limited 10-year worldwide warranty, which only covers the power supply. The OLED panel and RGB LEDs are subject to a limited 3-year warranty.
