Seasonic is renowned as one of the leading manufacturers of premium grade PC power supplies and PRIME TX is their award-winning, 80 PLUS Titanium certified flagship series featuring state-of-the-art electronic designs, first-class quality components, cutting-edge performance and exceptional efficiency. The Noctua Edition of the top-end TX-1600 model uses this superb platform and combines it with the iconic, groundbreaking NF-A12x25 fan as well as a custom designed, highly optimised fan grill, which enable it to run ~8-10dB(A) quieter than the already quiet standard model. Thanks to its semi-passive fan control setup, the TX-1600 Noctua Edition will operate fully passive up to around 50% load at typical ambient temperatures (25°C) and only start ramping up the fan slowly as the load or temperature levels increase. This makes it a fantastic choice not only for power-hungry high-end builds, but also for silent systems that do not require as much as 1600W and will therefore have the PSU running mostly with the fan switched off or at near-inaudible speed levels. Even at 100% load, the Noctua Edition runs whisper quiet at ambient temperatures up to 25°C, producing only ~24dB(A) versus ~34dB(A) for the regular model. This massive reduction in noise emission is reflected in an upgrade of Cybenetics Lambda average noise level score from A to A++. Topped off with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 support as well as fully modular, Noctua-themed cables, the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition is the ultimate choice for highly demanding PC enthusiasts who require uncompromising quality, class-leading performance and exceptional quietness of operation.
The key to the Noctua Editions further improved acoustic performance is Noctuas renowned NF-A12x25 120mm fan: Ensuring the same safe operating temperature of all internal components, it runs another ~8-10dB(A) quieter than the regular models already quiet 135mm fan across the entire fan speed range.
In Cybenetics acoustic tests, the regular PRIME TX-1600 model was already very quiet with a Lambda A rating and an average noise output of only ~21 dB(A). The Noctua Edition further improved on this excellent result with a further ~8 dB(A) reduction and an average noise level of ~13 dB(A), which led to an upgrade from Lambda A to a Lambda A++ classification.
Many power supply fan grill designs are driven by aesthetic considerations and ignore basic acoustic and aerodynamic principles. By contrast, the fan grill of the TX-1600 Noctua Edition has been custom designed and carefully optimised to ensure smooth pressure gradients when the fan blades pass, which results in higher airflow performance and lower noise emission.
The Noctua Edition of the Seasonic TX-1600 not only complies with the ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 standards. Including a cable with the new 12V-2×6 connector for safely powering top-of-the-line GPUs with high energy consumption such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 series, it also meets the updated ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 requirements.
The Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition comes with fully modular cables for clean and tidy builds without unnecessary cable clutter. With its subtle dark brown accents, the included cable set is perfect for Noctua themed builds and a visual testament to this unique power supply.
