ASUS at the 2024 Computex showed off the latest revisions of its ROG Strix Platinum and ROG Thor Titanium III power supplies that pack a slew of cutting edge innovations for high-end gaming PCs. In their latest revisions, these PSUs meet the ATX 3.1 specification, and offer updated 12V-2x6 (H++) graphics card power connectors, but there's a key bit of innovation here.

Notice the purple 2-pin connector on the PSU? It is a set of sense pins that lead to the 12V-2x6 connectors, and lets the PSU get active feedback from the graphics card (rather than the motherboard) on how the voltage stability is, so it can actively hold the +12 V domain within a tight tolerance band. This mechanism lets the PSU observe voltage drops and spikes beyond the excursion tolerances of the ATX 3.1 spec. ASUS holds the patent for this innovation. Another major innovation with both these PSU lines is the use of modern GaN MOSFETs for improved switching efficiency, and compact dimensions, which vastly improves the layout of the PSU's mainboard, and serves up more room for heatsinks or airflow. ASUS is backing both these PSU lines with 10-year warranties.

As Moore's Law buckles, and cutting-edge CPUs and GPUs get more power-hungry, we're an upward trend in PSU Wattage across all brands at Computex. Silverstone is no exception, especially because the company brought a large selection of workstation and server cases to their booth this year, targeting the AI development and acceleration markets, particularly by startups and SMBs. The Hela-R Platinum series consists of medium-thru-high Wattage fully-modular PSU models.

The range starts at 750 W, with the Hela 750R Platinum, and goes all the way up to the Hela 2500R Platinum, with 2.5 kW on tap! The 750 W to 1600 W models use single fat +12 V rail designs, while the 2500 W model uses multiple +12 V rails. It also puts out multiple 600 W 16-pin power connectors. As their names suggest, all models in this series offer 80 Plus Platinum efficiency.

At Computex 2024, Wizmax, a manufacturer of computer hardware such as cases, headphones, mice, etc., offered an interesting perspective on the inspiration for its computer cases.
