So they went Corsair way with their Ax 1600i that uses GaN for some time now and incredibly the ROG is cheaper with oled display + PCI Express 5.0: 559 $ vs 609 $ for the Corsair. Good job!

I would rather having a GAN power supply that has lower wattage but fanless

In fact they went Seasonic way, because it is the OEM for both of them... 😉

I'm confused. This seems to be the same model that was available since 2022? Same model number and both saying Pcie-5.0 ready. What is different about this one?

I know what you mean - I was talking about the end product. I see from all reviews that the OEM for Corsair Ax1600i is Flextronics and not Seasonic.

Ah yes right, Flextronics for that one and the AX1500i. I am just used;) it to be mainly Seasonic. Hmmm I wonder then Who is the ASUS OEM..?

Could be Seasonic but only on the presumption that - as you said - all ROG Thor PS are basically rebranded Seasonic - not sure -no review yet. Anyway as it is the well known habit now you can find it for order at prices much higher than MSRP: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1749312-REG/asus_rog_thor_1600t_gaming_rog_thor_1600w_titanium.html

I believe I read that the oem is Wentai.

Then NOT that interested, if it was Flextronics great, Seasonic good, but Wentai is a bit questionable...
