Noctua is an institution in the computer and server fans sector, while Seasonic occupies a similar position in the power supply market.
Now, both companies have collaborated to launch a new power supply that combines Seasonic design and components with a cooling module equipped with a Noctua fan, the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition.
Noctua thus maintains its line of collaborations with other companies to integrate its ventilation solutions and characteristic brown and ocher color scheme into all types of devices. We had already seen graphics cards and now this source follows the same strategy.
The Seasonic Prime TX-1600 Noctua Edition stands out for that brown module with a Noctua NF-A12x25 fan, a model that reduces the noise levels generated by the conventional model by up to 10 dB(A). Both the fan and the protective grille have been optimized to improve flow and reduce noise. In fact, its design is quite striking with those spiral lines.
The fan does not activate until a power load of 50% is reached, that is, 800W. Furthermore, it will not turn on until 25°C ambient temperature is reached.
Regarding the specifications of the power supply, the Seasonic Prime TX-1600 Noctua Edition has support for the ATX 3.1 standard with 12V and 2×6-pin connectors for PCIe 5.0, a 100% modular design and an energy efficiency of 80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics ETA Titanium, with 94% efficiency at 50% load.
It will hit the market during the last quarter of the year, just for the Christmas campaign.
