Noctua and Seasonic have teamed up to launch what they call an 'ultra-quiet' ATX power supply (PSU). Following closely after the NF-A6x15 and its splitter cable, the Prime TX-1600 Noctua Edition enhances an existing Seasonic PSU instead of being a completely new product.
Overview of the Noctua Edition
The Noctua Edition brings updates to the Prime TX-1600, which is currently priced at $539.99 on Amazon and has been around for more than two years. Interestingly, the design of the Noctua Edition appears unchanged since it was first revealed by Noctua and Seasonic at Computex 2024 in June. The new version simply replaces the fan with an NF-A12x25 model.
Features and Performance
In a recent press release, Noctua mentioned that they have added a 'custom engineered fan grill' to their well-known case fan. As a result, the Noctua Edition is claimed to operate approximately 8-10dB(A) quieter compared to the regular Prime TX-1600. For more details on how these modifications affect airflow, you can check out Noctua's images and dedicated article below.
Specifications and Availability
The Prime TX-1600 Noctua Edition can manage a load of up to 1600 W and comes equipped with two 12V-6x2 connectors, as stated by Seasonic. Additionally, this model complies with ATX 3.1 standards. It is expected to be available starting today at a price of $569 in the US and €499 in Europe. However, Noctua has cautioned that it might take a day or two for the PSU to be listed for purchase on certain regional Amazon sites.
