ASUS has announced that its upcoming ROG Thor III and ROG Strix Platinum power supply units (PSUs) will ship with the company’s new ROG Equalizer 12V-2×6 PCIe power cable, a redesigned connector aimed at improving reliability and thermal performance for modern high-end graphics cards (read: NVIDIA’s RTX 40 and 50-series GPUs).
According to ASUS, the ROG Equalizer cable is rated to handle up to 17 amps per wire, compared to around 9.2 amps for conventional 12V-2×6 implementations, providing additional headroom for power spikes and sustained heavy workloads.
To achieve this, the cable uses tin-plated oxygen-free copper conductors that should help reduce electrical resistance while improving conductivity and flexibility. ASUS claims the cable can maintain operating temperatures below the material’s rated threshold of 105°C, even under demanding conditions.
