"Sea Sonic is very excited to have the opportunity to partner with Noctua, a leading innovator in quiet PC fans and cooling technology. Our two companies' shared commitment to quality and performance makes this partnership so valuable," said Eric Lan ( CEO, Sea Sonic Electronics). "We see this collaboration blossoming as two industry leaders come together on a great project to create a premium power supply for enthusiasts who value both performance and silence," adds Eric. "In addition to elevating our product range to new heights, the new Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition ATX 3.1 PC Power Supply is undoubtedly a product of top-class engineering, a true class leader that will strengthen both companies' global brand presence."
Seasonic is known as one of the leading manufacturers of premium PC power supplies, and PRIME TX is their award-winning, 80 PLUS® Titanium certified flagship series, featuring advanced electronic designs, premium quality components, cutting-edge performance and exceptional efficiency.
The Noctua Edition of the high-end TX-1600 model takes this excellent platform and combines it with the iconic, cutting-edge NF-A12x25 fan, as well as a custom-designed, highly optimized fan grille, which allows it to run ~8-10 dB(A) more quieter than the already quiet standard model.
"We are excited and honored to introduce the first Noctua Edition power supply in collaboration with Seasonic, a manufacturer we greatly respect both for their unwavering commitment to quality and their leadership in innovation in PC power supplies for more than 40 years," says Roland Mossig (CEO, Noctua). "By combining Seasonic's vast expertise in power supplies with our quiet cooling technology and acoustic optimization experience, customers get the best of both worlds: an advanced 1600W power supply that runs extremely quietly."
Thanks to its semi-passive fan control, the TX-1600 Noctua Edition will run fully passively at up to approx. 50% load under normal ambient temperatures (≤25°C) and only gradually increase the fan speed when the load or temperature increases. This makes it an excellent choice not only for power-hungry high-end builds, but also for quiet systems that don't require the full 1600W and therefore often want the power supply running with the fan off or at almost inaudible speeds. Even at 100% load, the Noctua Edition runs almost silently at ambient temperatures up to 25°C, producing only ~24 dB(A) compared to ~34 dB(A) for the standard model. This significant reduction in noise emissions is reflected in an upgrade of Cybenetic's Lambda average noise level score from A to A++.
With ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 support and fully modular, Noctua-themed cables, the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition is the ultimate choice for demanding PC enthusiasts who want uncompromising quality, class-leading performance and exceptionally quiet operation.
