With the advent of next-generation graphics cards, the power consumption of PCs will increase dramatically. This will not only lead to the need for more powerful power supplies, but also those with the new 12+4 pin connector. Among all those that appear on the market, the one recently presented by ASUS as ROG THOR 1600W Titanium stands out.
If your plan is to build a high-caliber PC for the next few months, our advice is to look at the power supply or PSU you are going to put in your system, as the watts consumed by all components will increase dramatically. Not only because of the central processor and graphics card, but also SSDs and RAM. And yes, they will be much more efficient, but at the same time consumption will increase, which remains a paradox.
On the other hand, it is important to choose a good power supply, which many users decide to ignore and which results in a broken computer after a few years. This is why the ROG THOR 1600W Titanium by ASUS It powerfully caught our attention. Because it not only provides the necessary power supply and connectors, but also because of its quality, since it is a top-of-the-range source.
