If your electricity bill looks like the script of a dramatic series or your PC shuts down when the graphics card demands power, pay attention. Seasonic updates its flagship line with the PRIME TX-1600, a 1600W power supply with Titanium certification and the new ATX 3.1 connector. Designed to handle the power spikes of the RTX 5090 and future beasts, it arrives to bring order to the energy chaos in your rig. ⚡
Internal architecture and the leap to the ATX 3.1 standard 🔧
Seasonic maintains its resonant topology with synchronous rectification and DC-DC conversion to achieve Titanium efficiency (up to 96%). The key change lies in the 12V-2x6 connector, which corrects the contact issues of the previous standard. The power supply offers stable cross-regulation and ripple below 10mV. The 135mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan operates in passive mode up to 50% load, although in a 1600W power supply, the internal heatsink is so massive that it barely needs to spin.
My current PSU is already 850W, am I poor? 😅
Don't worry, you don't need to sell a kidney to upgrade. The Seasonic TX-1600 is for those building an RTX 5090 alongside an Intel Core Ultra 9 and want headroom to charge their phone, tablet, and air fryer. If you're still using an 850W power supply with a mid-range graphics card, your biggest power spike will be when you turn on your monitor. This beast is for the brave with double-digit electricity bills and a graphics card that weighs more than your case.
