Today we’re putting the new Asus ROG THOR 1000W PLATINUM II power supply on our test bench. We had a chance to check the first Thor at the end of 2018, when the 1200W version was reviewed (priced 329 EUR/USD), earning the “Best Hardware” award. Will the new version be as successful?

That is the most pleasant looking PSU I've ever seen.

I have these in my systems only because I was going to build dual systems in each case then changed my mind

Yeah I have the Asus Rog Thor 850 as well,, just a rebranded Seasonic PSU with a nice display and a temperature controlled fan and a bit of RGB, been running a couple of years now without issue, decent PSU, dunno if it's worth the money for the extra bling but I got it for free so can't complain.

I had the original, i'm so lucky it didn't burn my whole PC with the number of shutdowns and click noises it was making, switched to EVGA and life is good

Sounds like you got a dud, you know they come with a 10 year warranty if anything goes wrong.
