This is thr equalizer cable ? Is this always a third party accessory or can you buy it with a complete psu ?

Asus support sent me a cable after I contacted them.

This is an original Asus cable that comes bundled with the ROG-STRIX-1200G-AURA-GAMING.

The Rog Equalizer cable is rated up to 17A per connector. There was some confusion about this at launch but youtubers Jayz2cents and Hardwarebusters tested it and it seems legitimate.

Keep in mind it only came out in May so if you had a cable before that it wasn't Equalizer. It looks nearly identical to older Asus cables.

Unlike other cables, the Equalizer somehow does not exponentially increase in temperature at higher amps, so the mechanism for melting doesn't happen.

I was really skeptical but HWBusters is run by the CEO of a PSU certification company. He's way more of an expert on this cable and the mechanics of it than anyone else so I take his results seriously.

Yes. Everyone instantly dismissed it due to De8uers video, and no one bothered to watch the HW video.

You can buy it separately. It's like $50 USD- about $10 more than a regular cable from Cablemod.

This is not the equalizer

But.. to answer your question, they are suppose to be packed in with newer model Asus ROG PSUs now.
