Patented Design

Reduced Cable Temperature

In demanding 600W scenarios, uneven current distribution can cause hot spots in conventional 12V-2x6 cables over long periods of use. ROG Equaliser helps balance power delivery to reduce thermal stress and maintain stable temperatures. Even under extreme conditions, it keeps cable and connector temperatures within the 105°C material limit for safer, more reliable operation.

• Test conditions : Ambient temperature: 55°C / Total Power: 600W
• The middle 4 wires of the +12V cable disconnected to the graphics card 16pin

Enlarge Wire Load Capacity

Standard 12V-2x6 cables are rated for 9.2A per wire, while ROG Equaliser cables boost current capacity to 17A per wire. This is designed to improve the handling of short-term current peaks that may be produced by high-end graphics cards during extreme overclocking or when otherwise drawing a high amount of wattage from the power supply.

This enhanced design improves durability under 600W continuous loads for a significantly longer lifespan than conventional cables, industry-leading reliability, and stable power delivery.

*Recommended for use under a total power limit of 600W

Balanced Power Delivery

ROG Equaliser ensures balanced current delivery from PSU to ROG Equaliser, lowering graphics card connector temperatures and maintaining stable thermal performance below the 105°C material limit.

Under an extreme test scenario, ASUS removed the middle 4 wires from the +12V cable to simulate potential current imbalance conditions that may occur with a standard 12V-2x6 PCIe cable. Even under these conditions, the ROG Equaliser maintained a temperature of approximately 87.8°C. In contrast, a standard 12V-2x6 PCIe cable reached around 146°C—far exceeding safe operating limits.

*Testing method: This extreme test removes the four middle wires of the +12V 16‑pin PCIe power cable to evaluate cable temperature performance under maximum current load.

Twice the Protection

Enable ROG Equaliser mode in GPU Tweak III Power Detector+ to activate dual-layer protection, combining hardware-level safeguards with real-time monitoring for enhanced stability and peace of mind under heavy workloads.

Cable Comb

The quick-release cable comb design offers enhanced flexibility for personalised cable routing, allowing users to fine-tune cable alignment and achieve a clean, well-organised build.

Dual-Colour 12V-2x6 PCIe Cable Connector

The 12V-2x6 PCIe cable connector has a purple design and includes a clear visual indicator for proper insertion, helping ensure a secure connection.

Enlarged, gold-plated spring contacts on the GPU-side connector increase contact area with the graphics card pins, reducing contact resistance and improving durability over repeated mating cycles.

Latest Standards

ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Compatible

Meet the stringent requirements of the ATX 3.1 standard and supports PCIe 5.1 graphics cards. It supports total power excursions up to twice the rated power and graphics card power excursions up to three times the rated power, helping to ensure rock-solid stability for your PC.

Premium Embossed Cables

Made from a pliable premium material, these embossed cables are easily flexible during installation, and they operate at temperatures 50°C lower than the safety limit when routed for cable management.

Tin-Plated Oxygen-Free Copper Cable

• Ultra-high conductivity
• Long lifespan
• Long-term stability
• High ductility & bendability
• Low resistance and low heat generation

These cables also meet the rigorous standards of the UL1581 flame test and UL758 certification, helping to ensure a smooth PC DIY experience and exceptional safety.

Broad Compatibility

Bundled with the ROG Thor III & ROG Strix Platinum Series

The ROG Equaliser is bundled with the latest ROG Thor or ROG Strix Platinum series power supplies, with the exclusive GPU-First feature, you can experience smooth and consistent gaming, ensuring the latest and most comprehensive protection for long-term system stability and peace of mind at the same time.

*Important: ROG Equaliser is included on selected ROG Thor III and ROG Strix Platinum power supplies. Supported models can be identified by the “-E” suffix in the product model name (e.g., ROG-THOR-1200P3-GAMING-E). Earlier versions of the same product family may not include this feature. Please refer to the product specifications or look for the ROG Equaliser marking on the retail box to confirm feature availability.

Compatible with PSUs from Leading Manufacturers

ROG Equaliser is compatible with power supplies from all leading manufacturers. For users looking to add an extra layer of protection, it can be seamlessly integrated into existing power setups without altering the current system configuration, offering a flexible and easy upgrade path.
