ASUS Republic of Gamers bundles its Thor III and Strix Platinum PSUs with the ROG Equalizer 12V‑2x6 PCIe power cable. The connector delivers a 17 amp peak capacity while preserving a thermal margin that keeps temperatures under the 105 °C safety limit. Buyers who purchased the units before the bundle can enter their serial numbers on ASUS’s site for a discount code, valid May 28‑Nov 28 2026.

Designed from the ground up, the cable uses tin‑plated oxygen‑free copper to cut resistance and heat, extending lifespan under 600‑watt continuous loads. In stress tests, a standard cable reached 146 °C, while the Equalizer stayed near 88 °C and never exceeded the 105 °C threshold even after ten days at 55 °C ambient. Compatibility spans ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1, and it works with any major PSU brand.

ASUS backs the Equalizer with a three‑year warranty, whether supplied with a new PSU or obtained via the upgrade program. Black and white variants will ship in Q2 2026, and the cable includes a comb and a purple‑lit connector that confirms proper seating. Pairing it with GPU Tweak III’s Power Detector+ on supported ROG graphics cards adds software‑level monitoring for extra safety.
