Press Release
Noctua and Seasonic today presented the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition ATX 3.1 PC power supply. First seen at COMPUTEX 2024, this Seasonic state-of-the-art 1600W flagship model utilises Noctua’s award-winning NF- A12x25 fan and a custom-engineered fan grill for even quieter operation. As such, the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition is a premium choice for ultra-quiet workstations or gaming PCs that require uncompromising power delivery.
“Sea Sonic is very excited to have the opportunity to work with Noctua, the leading innovator in the field of silent PC fans and cooling technology. Our two companies’ mutual commitment to quality and performance makes this partnership so valuable,” – said Eric Lan (CEO Sea Sonic Electronics). “We see this cooperation thrive as two industry leaders come together in a great project to create a class-leading premium power supply for performance and silence enthusiasts,” Eric added. “Beyond elevating our product offerings to new heights, the new Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition ATX 3.1 PC power supply is undoubtedly a product of top-level engineering, a true class leader, set to enhance the global brand presence of both companies.”
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 highly advanced 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 enables it to run ~8-10dB(A) quieter than the already quiet standard model.
“We’re thrilled and honoured to present the first Noctua Edition power supply in collaboration with Seasonic, a manufacturer we greatly respect both for its unwavering commitment to quality and for staying at the forefront of PC power supply innovation for more than 40 years”, says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). “Combining Seasonic’s massive expertise in PSUs with our quiet cooling technology and experience in acoustic optimisation gives customers the best of both worlds: A state-of-the-art 1600W power supply that runs supremely quiet.”
Thanks to its semi-passive fan control setup, the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition will operate fully passive up to around 50% load at typical ambient temperatures (less than or equal to 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 Cybenetic’s 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.
