Manufacturer: Seasonic | Noctua
MSRP: EUR 499 / USD 569 / £429
Seasonic, a world-renowned manufacturer of high-end power supplies, has joined forces with Noctua, a leading name in premium cooling solutions, to develop the PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition. Unveiled last year, this collaboration brings together Seasonic’s engineering excellence and Noctua’s acclaimed silent cooling technology to deliver what aims to be one of the most refined desktop power supplies available — combining exceptional performance, superior build quality, and near-silent acoustics.
The Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition is a refined variant of the standard PRIME TX-1600, distinguished primarily by the inclusion of Noctua’s award-winning NF-A12x25 120mm fan in place of the original 135mm fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) fan. Beyond the upgraded cooling component, the unit features Noctua’s unmistakable aesthetic, incorporating subtle accents of its signature brown tones on both the PSU housing and its fully sleeved modular cables, which adopt a coordinated black-and-brown colour scheme.
The Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition is designed to appeal not only to loyal Noctua enthusiasts but also to discerning PC builders seeking top-tier components for high-end systems. By merging proven electrical performance with outstanding acoustic efficiency, this power supply stands out as a compelling choice for those who demand both technical excellence and near-silent operation.
Noctua on the PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition
Seasonic, renowned for its premium-grade power supplies, offers the PRIME TX series as its flagship line, boasting 80 PLUS® Titanium certification, exceptional efficiency, and cutting-edge engineering. The Noctua Edition of the TX-1600 builds on this foundation, integrating Noctua’s acclaimed NF-A12x25 fan and a custom optimised grille to achieve up to 8–10dB(A) lower noise levels than the standard model. With a semi-passive cooling design, it operates silently up to around 50% load and remains remarkably quiet even under full load. Featuring ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 support along with fully modular, Noctua-themed cables, the PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition stands as an outstanding choice for enthusiasts seeking uncompromising performance and near-silent operation.
Seasonic’s ATX 3.1 PSU Lineup
Among the PSU manufacturers we’ve reviewed this year, Seasonic’s ATX 3.1 range stands out for its clarity and consistency. Each model is explicitly labelled with “ATX 3.1” in its name, making it easy for consumers to identify — with the exception of the PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition likely omitted to avoid an excessively long model designation. Functionally, the Noctua Edition PSU is based on the PRIME TX ATX 3.1 platform, which is available in both 1600W and 1300W variants.
Fortunately, Seasonic has made it easy to navigate its current range by including a convenient filter on its official website, allowing users to quickly view all available ATX 3.1 power supply units. The line-up includes the flagship PRIME TX ATX 3.1 and PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition, followed by the PRIME PX ATX 3.1, VERTEX SAKURA ATX 3.1, FOCUS GX ATX 3.1, FOCUS GX WHITE ATX 3.1, CORE GX ATX 3.1, and CORE GX WHITE ATX 3.1 models. Seasonic has also recently added the CORE GC ATX 3.1 and CORE BC ATX 3.1 power supply units.
