Asus Thor 1600
Asus Thor 1600
So I own an ASUS Thor 1600 T and a Corsair 1200. It seems the Asus runs quieter, but I’m not sure about power efficiency.
I’d appreciate everyone’s opinions on how ASUS compares to Corsair.
Also, with the 5090 I keep hearing about a newer cable—anyone know what’s out there?
Thanks, Joe
I'm an ROG Affiliated Partner for them & can actually say that if EVGA didn't have a sale on their Titanium 85 1300 Watt PSUs I would've gotten the ROG Thor instead so..............................3 thumbs up to them lol
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Corsair is the brand name for this unit, and 1200 refers to its advertised wattage. Could you share the exact model number so we can better understand its origin?
These charts can assist in placing it on a list:

When discussing the 5090, I often hear about a newer cable—anyone have insights?
Regarding the 12v2x6 connector, what’s the issue? If it’s melting, many users haven’t pinpointed the exact cause, even though fully seated connectors can sometimes overheat.
Based on the specific PSU models present, the details provided will help in a more accurate comparison. There are two 1600W Asus Thor units and numerous 1200W Corsair models available. The Asus ROG Thor Titanium 1600W (2022) hasn't been tested for protections and should be considered Tier A. The Asus ROG Thor Titanium III 1600W (2024) has not had its OCP and SCP verified, but it is recommended as Tier A. Older Corsair units like the HX 1200 (2017), HXi 1200 (2013), and HXi 1200 (2023) are considered outdated and should be evaluated as Tier A+, while newer models such as HXi 1200 (2023), HXi 1200 (2025), and RMe 1200 (2023) are solid PSUs rated Tier A+. The RMe 1200 (2023) had quality concerns like coil whine and DOA issues, placing it in Tier B+, and the RMx Shift 1200 (2023) is solid but still falls into Tier A+. The TX 1200 released in 2024 is China-exclusive and has mediocre quality, also Tier B. Without precise model details, a full assessment remains limited. For more info, see the provided link.
