Seasonic Prime TX ATX 3.0/3.1

Mit dem Prime TX-1600 Noctua Edition legt Seasonic sein Titanium-Topmodell in einer akustisch optimierten Variante auf, die den ATX-3.1- und PCIe-5.1-Standards entspricht. Das vollmodulare Netzteil liefert 1.600 Watt Leistung und ist mit 80 PLUS Titanium sowie Cybenetics ETA Titanium und Lambda A++ zertifiziert. Für die Kühlung sorgt ein 120-mm-Noctua-NF-A12x25 in Kombination mit der digitalen Hybrid-Lüftersteuerung. Native 12V-2×6-Anschlüsse, ein kabelarmes Innenlayout mit Busbar-/Direktverbindungen (Cable-free Connection Design) und hochwertige Steckverbinder zielen auf Effizienz und Betriebssicherheit. Die technischen Daten versprechen hohe Leistungsreserven bei sehr niedriger Geräuschkulisse. Wie gut die Noctua-Edition im Alltag auftritt, klären wir im folgenden Test.

Seasonic hat vor kurzem sein Flaggschiff-Netzteil PRIME TX-1600 in einer neuen Version herausgebracht, die in Kooperation mit dem renommierten Lüfterhersteller Noctua entstanden ist. Die Noctua Edition entspricht dabei dem bereits bekannten PRIME TX-1600, bei dem aber im angepassten Gehäusedeckel ein hochwertiger 120-mm-Lüfter von Noctua verbaut wurde. Die Performance sollte daher ebenso hervorragend sein, nur bei noch leiserem Betrieb, was wir uns natürlich einmal näher angeschaut haben.

Das Hauptmerkmal des Seasonic Prime Noctua TX-1600 ist die deutlich niedrigere Geräuschentwicklung im Vergleich zur „normalen“ TX-1600-Version, die ohnehin schon ziemlich leise ist. Die Geräuschkarten zeigen, dass es im Noctua-Modell keine Bereiche gibt, in denen die Lautstärke über 30 dB(A) liegt. Auch bei leichter und moderater Belastung sind die Unterschiede in der Geräuschentwicklung bemerkenswert. Der einzige Haken: Das Seasonic Prime Noctua TX-1600 ist nicht günstig. In der EU liegt der Preis bei 499 Euro, während es auf dem US-Markt für 569 USD verkauft werden soll. Das ist schon recht happig.

Seasonic's top-tier Prime TX-1600 platform gets the Noctua treatment. Fully updated to ATX 3.1 and featuring a bespoke NF-A12x25 cooling solution, this 1600 W flagship promises rock-solid voltage regulation, flawless ripple suppression, and a Cybenetics LAMBDA A++ acoustic rating.

Priced at £429, the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition is a significant investment. However, considering its status as an enthusiast-tier, flagship power supply, this price is competitive when compared to other 1600W Titanium-rated power supplies, with some rivals like the MSI MEG Ai1600T and ASUS ROG Thor III costing considerably more. The unit offers class-leading efficiency, exceptional stability, and a relentless focus on acoustic performance thanks to the Noctua collaboration. For high-end users, gamers, or those with multi-GPU systems who prioritise both uncompromising power and whisper-quiet operation, and are willing to pay a premium for a truly over-engineered PSU, the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition is an excellent platform, and backed by a 12-year warranty, which only sweetens the deal.

Noctua cooperated with Seasonic to introduce a silent, high-capacity power supply, and the result is the Seasonic Prime Noctua TX-1600. Read the full review to find out more details abouts its performance, noise output, and build quality.

The fully modular PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition power supply unit by Seasonic is an 1.6KW PCIe 5.1 & ATX 3.1 compliant model that sports the 80 PLUS Titanium certification (94% efficiency at 50% load) and is equipped with two 12V-2X6 (600W) and six 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors. It also features a single powerful +12V rail (133.33A) capable of delivering 100% of the units’ total power output (1600W), peak power output of no less than 1746W (based on ATX 3.1 peak should now be up to around 3.49KW for up to 100ms - once again however this is not something I can test), full-bridge LLC converter with DC to DC design, Interleaved PFC, semi-passive fan control (fan spins after 50% load), high-quality Japanese capacitors certified for use up to 105 degrees Celsius and a full array of electrical protections including over-current (OCP), over-voltage (OVP), under-voltage (UVP), short-circuit (SCP), over-temperature (OTP) and over-power (OPP). What makes the PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition model stand out is of course the NF-A12x25 HS-PWM 120mm fan which is paired with a custom design highly optimized fan grill, a combination which always according to Seasonic and Noctua makes this model up to -10dBA quieter compared to the regular PRIME TX-1600 model. As for warranty the PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition is covered with a very generous 12-year limited one.

Behold the Seasonic Prime TX-1600: a juggernaut amongst it's peers. With excellent performance and a stellar 12-year warranty, it's a true investment in reliability. Running silently at up to 800W with its passive design, it ensures peace in your setup, but it's not the most budget-friendly option.

Seasonic released the upgraded version of its TX-1600 PSU, with ATX v3.0 compatibility, meaning that it can deliver up to 3200W for a short period, if required!

Mit dem Prime TX-1300 liefert Seasonic ein Netzteil, das in allen Bereichen auf den High-End-Markt zugeschnitten ist.

Powerful Seasonic Prime TX-1300 ATX 3.0 PSU reviewed on OCinside.de! What sounds and even looks a bit like a new Terminator or Autobot is actually a PSU that can supply even the most power-hungry components with power. We're talking about the Seasonic Prime TX-1300 with ATX 3.0 approval and 80 Plus Titanium certification.

The PRIME TX-1300 Titanium by Seasonic was one of the best power supply units to ever arrive in the lab and so honestly the lack of ATX 3.0 compliance didn’t matter much. Still adding ATX 3.0 compliance was the next obvious step by Seasonic and even though rail stability has pretty much remained the same i did notice a slight drop in power consumption (at the same time however a tiny bump in noise coming from the 135mm fan, perhaps Seasonic used a more aggressive curve this time?). Again, my test rig can’t push power supply units at well over 1KW in output/capacity to their limit and that also stands true about the PRIME TX-1300 Titanium ATX 3.0 model but still i don’t expect rail stability to fluctuate much if at all between the 1033W max recorded in my tests and the maximum rated output of 1300W (as always noise levels are probably what will increase). Once again, my main concern with units like the PRIME TX-1300 Titanium ATX 3.0 is size and so you may have a hard time fitting it in your tower if you haven’t accounted for it (i know i did). Nit picking on my part i know but at 210mm this is one of the longest ATX 3.0 power supply units today so again do keep that in mind. Also, worth pointing out is that unlike its predecessor the brand-new PRIME TX-1300 Titanium ATX 3.0 comes with a single +12VHPWR connector and even though this should be more than plenty even for upcoming cards it is something i feel needs to be mentioned. Currently retailing for USD519.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at around 480Euros inside the EU the PRIME TX-1300 Titanium ATX 3.0 power supply unit by Seasonic is clearly aimed towards the most demanding gamers, enthusiasts, overclockers and professionals. The same more or less applies with similar ultra high-end models by the competition so i really wasn’t expecting Seasonic to pull a miracle in terms of pricing. Pricing aside however the Seasonic PRIME TX Titanium ATX 3.0 platform (both wattage models) is easily among the 3 top ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5 compliant ones right now in the market and for that the Platinum Award is once again in order.
