I was just talking about the TX-1600 yesterday and looking for reviews of it, so glad to see this come out today! The AX1600i seems to still offer that little bit more with the digital platform and feature adds like software monitoring and selectable multirail, but the TX-1600 is sure up there in terms of performance and it's good having another unit at the top tier to recommend. Disappointing that Seasonic is still derating units at 50C especially on their halo tier product. Despite the derating I've never actually seen their PSUs have any issues passing hotbox tests at 50C. Just give it a proper operating temp rating, Seasonic!
Seasonic's product page now shows 50C temp rating for the TX-1600. Either they've since revised it and increased to 50C or the original 40C rating was an error on the product page. Either way I'm glad to see it has a proper 50C operating temp rating now.
Impressive PSU, especially considering it's not using GaN like the AXi and Wentai. I find it very hard to recommend though without the proper PCIe 5.0 power support... Pretty easy hackjob to tune the OCP to 2000w and then say look it supports 200% power excursions at 1kw.
I recently bult a new system with this PSU, yes it was overkill for my needs but I have to say, the build quality is fantastic, the biggest thing that caught me by surprise is the weight of it, I was replacing my HX1200i PSU which to me is a good quality unit but the TX feels literally twice the weight.

This very expensive PSU is in my build list for my new computer because of the insane quality of Seasonic. I'm still using my 10 year old Seasonic 1050W SilentSnow PSU. It was pretty expensive. At the time I remember watching a video by Luke of LTT where he said no one should consider a PSU over 400W, maybe 500W. Again, I'm _still_ using that PSU ten years later. I wonder how many times Luke had to steal a PSU from LTT over the years to match his growing wattage needs. Oh, and he also said that you should buy a PSU that will be using 90% of the PSUs wattage rating. 🤦🤦♂🤦♀ Now of course we know LTT is grossly incompetent but I knew it back then, before it was cool.
Normally, it won't since it doesn't have a PCIe 5.0 connector. That said, this unit has a high OPP, so it could go up to 450W on a PCIe with an adapter, though.
Will there be another ATX 3.0 updated version of this platform soon? just for the sake of having that sweet sweet full 600W on one cable without the need for any adapters lol.
You wanted ATX compliance with burst mode and LLC resonant converter? There. Have ATX compliance with burst mode and LLC resonant converter. 35 millifarads for 1000 watt output... damn. If you had GAN FETs phase shift without burst mode at high frequency you could do that with like 10 millifarads for 1500 watts and still keep your losses low, even at low loads. Heck, with a fast transformer you could do the same with LLC resonant too if you turn the burst mode off.
Sir is it better to get an i5 and 3060 ti or a ps5 for playing AAA games at good graphics settings, And also which system do you think will last longer?
I would be nice if you add code for PSU, because it hard to tell if we are looking at same model eg old SSR-1000TR and new SSR-1000TD, and if we buying what you showing.
Really to bad this psu is not fully ATX 3.0 certified and the PCI-E 5.0 cables are not full function and "only 450 watt" For my over clocking fun I would want my next psu to support that. But I'm not going to run a GPU in 600 watt mode for gaming. 300-350 is enough for me. I hope my SS Prime TX-750 is still up to the task. I guess a 7900XT should not be a problem since I could run a 6900XT up to 480 watt without problems. High fps loads are also running fine so for. And otherwise I will just cap the max voltage with more power tool to lower the transient spikes the gpu produces.
i dont know if i ask this question here or not but i need a info because i am in pc crash issue on evry game launch with blue screen fast screen, so after carefully testing i am see when i stress gpu, gpu eating 258 watts, but during gpu stress when stressing cpu ,i see gpu power suddenly down to 160watt and dipping between 160 to 170watt, can you please confirm is this PSU ISSUE or other issue , also when pc was crash with blue screen event ID 41 kernal power and Even ID volmgr 161 is register all the time, any info is very helpfull currently installed PSU is gigabyte P750GM 2020
the fact that the system crashes once you stress the PSU looks suspicious, indeed, but the power levels you mention are not that high for a 750W PSU. Try with another PSU if possible, to see if the problem persists.
@@HardwareBusters as per you video recommendation i buy Corsair RM750x 2021 and the Issue has Been Gone thanks for great and very hard work on PSU that is very important part of pc parts keep doing in future not stop thanks for every useful video ✌😘❤

They did this derating during the mining boom, to protect their name, and they kept it because 12 years of warranty is looking :)
Thermaltake has a real atx 3.0 1650 psu fit 299. Way better deal.
Seasonic's product page now shows 50C temp rating for the TX-1600. Either they've since revised it and increased to 50C or the original 40C rating was an error on the product page.

@4GB MEANS 4GB nah that psu is loud as shit
Thank you very much for providing such in-depth reviews; I always look forward to your advise on Power designs. Have a nice day.
Interesting Seasonic psu. Great review as always! 💯

You are straight up buying PURE quality.
long boy PSU
Seasonic the mother of PSUs 🤙 keep going good work Aris , you are one of the bests
Just got mine yesterday. Beast.
Wow, brand new PSU and still don't have the proper PCIE cable.
Seasonic told me that they will release the Vertex Titanium this year. Now it's only Gold. Vertex is ATX 3.0 with 16-Pin Gen 5 PCIe Cable (12VHPWR).
Please review the Segotep GM1000W psu .1000 w psu with 125 euro .Very good review for the Seasonic ....what a beast.
I also use the Seasonic px-1000, which is a real luxury power. I respect you. Seasonic

It is important that it is also good for the price 😎✌
Good video Aris!!!
Great, thank you !!!
Can you review the EVGA Supernova 1000 G7? Any idea what OEM it is?
I have already, in our site and its video is coming soon. hwbusters.com/psus/evga_supernova_1000_g7_review/
Friend, please review Seasonic PS Vertex 1200w Platinum!
Seasonic told me that they will release the Vertex Titanium this year. Now it's only Gold. Vertex is ATX 3.0 with 16-Pin Gen 5 PCIe Cable (12VHPWR).
Not just Gold, Platinum also.
@@TakeOnMe5 Ok thanks for the heads up!
550 dollars? Wow, thermaltake has a 1650 watt with 2 600 watt atx 3.0 connectors for 299.
Unfortunately it's not Titanium certified but which is of no surprise for its price.
pls review huntkey mvp k650 and huntkey wd600k , wd500k thank you
I don't have any connections to huntkey anymore, unfortunately :(
I just bought a EVGA T2 1600 titanium, my question is will my psu still be good with all the new Atx3.0 and pcie 5 specs coming out this year ?
Normally, it won't since it doesn't have a PCIe 5.0 connector. That said, this unit has a high OPP, so it could go up to 450W on a PCIe with an adapter, though.
Return your PSU and wait for atx 3.0
Question .. so I have the Seasonic prime Px-1300 . Will this meet the requirements for atx 3.0 if I buy the new 12vhpwr adapter cable ?
no. yours is atx 2.4 and will NOT have a connector for 12vhpwr. You wont need it for the new PSU's anyway.
Nope but you won't need an ATX 3.0 PSU for the new cards, anyway.
Will there be another ATX 3.0 updated version of this platform soon? just for the sake of having that sweet sweet full 600W on one cable without the need for any adapters lol.
I am sure they will release an updated platform, at some point.
nice video. analog beast.
can u please review Seasonic VERTEX GX-1200
Still no review sample available from Seasonic :(

Sir is it better to get an i5 and 3060 ti or a ps5 for playing AAA games at good graphics settings, And also which system do you think will last longer?
PS5 but games are more expensive. Unless you do a prime membership.
So what PSU would you recommend right now for let's say a 4090 combined with a 7700x 8 core?
Seasonic PS Vertex 1200w Platinum
I would be nice if you add code for PSU, because it hard to tell if we are looking at same model eg old SSR-1000TR and new SSR-1000TD, and if we buying what you showing.
This is brand new, but noted, will do.
Hi. whats better for gaming pc Evga g7 or seasonic focus gold? or its same?
I would go for the G7. More modern platform and better performance.
Really to bad this psu is not fully ATX 3.0 certified and the PCI-E 5.0 cables are not full function and "only 450 watt"
For my over clocking fun I would want my next psu to support that. But I'm not going to run a GPU in 600 watt mode for gaming. 300-350 is enough for me.

Just wait for Vertex 1200 :)
@@HardwareBusters yeah I am. But somehow it seems more like something between the focus and prime series quality wise but we have to wait and see.

best psu but not suitable cabel for pcie 5.0 3.0 nvidia card 3-4 series geforce
Friend please don't spend any time reviewing non ATX 3.0 PSUs
im sure people will be mining bitcoin in digital psu in no time.
