ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the availability of the ROG Loki - the powerful and high-wattage series of power supplies in an eye-catching SFX-L form factor. Equipped with large ROG heatsinks for fast cooling, integrated ARGB lighting for personal style, and axial fans for whisper-quiet operation, the Loki series is made for powering small form factor (SFF) devices.



Large flagship rigs will always be the lifeblood of the DIY community, but SFF builds have grown in popularity over the past few years. It's easy to see why: For those who want a system that fits comfortably on a smaller desk or in an entertainment center for TV gaming, a Mini-ITX system is the perfect choice. But packing next-gen performance into a small package can be a challenge, mostly because of the extra heat these components can generate. ROG's new Loki power supplies are designed to increase efficiency and reduce footprint, so avid PC builders can build no-compromise console clones.

As the successor to the ROG Thor power supplies, the Loki series offers the same high-quality components in an SFX-L form factor for Mini-ITX rigs - the perfect complement to a PC with the ROG Strix Z690-I Gaming WiFi or the upcoming ROG Crosshair X670 -I motherboard.

Available in 1200W, 1000W, 850W and 750W variants, the ROG Loki series offers enough power for even the most demanding SFF PCs with first-class efficiency. The 1200W model is the most powerful SFX-L power supply available on the market. This is an incredible technical achievement and an excellent opportunity for developers who are pushing the limits of SFF PCs. ROG Loki 1200W also meets the incredibly stringent efficiency ratings of 80 PLUS® Titanium certification, achieving greater than 90% efficiency at just 10% load all the way to maximum power. The other models carry the 80 PLUS Platinum mark. Both the 750W and 850W models have received Cybenetics Lambda certification for low noise.

The Japanese low-ESR capacitors in each device last twice as long as standard capacitors and have up to 45% lower equivalent series resistance - an efficiency gain that results in higher reliability with lower heat generation. And of course the Loki has a number of protection mechanisms to ensure the highest level of security.

Efficient heatsink and ARGB fan
Heat is the biggest challenge when designing SFF calculators, especially at such high wattages. Because smaller PCs rarely have as much airflow as their larger brethren, engineers had to find a way to dissipate the heat generated within these power-hungry machines. After countless hours of experimentation, they were able to fine-tune the PCB design and cooling system to deliver the stable, reliable performance we demand and consumers have come to expect from ROG products.

Part of this was the development of a heatsink that has twice the volume of traditional designs, allowing for better heat dissipation and lower hotspot temperatures. The dual ball bearing fans also ensure longer life for the 120mm fan, which uses our Axial-Tech design for higher air pressure than typical PSUs. Loki's fan isn't just functional - the ARGB fan allows users to express their own style, and thanks to Aura Sync compatibility, lighting effects can be harmonized throughout the system. For systems with special aesthetics, the Loki 850 W will also be available in white.

Modular design, ATX 3.0 ready and 10 year Warranty
The ROG Loki series is fully modular and reduces the amount of cabling to an absolute minimum - a crucial factor for SFF cases with limited space. The Loki complies with the latest ATX 3.0 standard and is also PCI Express® 5.0 capable. It comes with a 16-pin PCIe® cable capable of delivering up to 600W of power to compatible graphics cards.

The robust ROG Loki series also comes with a 10-year warranty on core components (3 years on the RGB LEDs), giving consumers the confidence and peace of mind to use as the backbone of their next SFF build use.
