PRIME TX-1600
The Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 is a 1600W ATX power supply rated 80+ Titanium, fully modular, with 2 12V-2x6 connectors for modern graphics cards. Independent lab testing puts it at A for noise, averaging 24.1 dB(A) across the load range, meaning quiet under load. Full specs, quality score and current prices are below.

Quality score
How we score →A power supply has no performance benchmark: every 1600W unit delivers 1600W. This scores how well built and how liveable the PRIME TX-1600 is, out of 100, from six published factors.
Better always scores higher, but the steps are uneven on purpose: Bronze to Gold is worth 11 of the 25 efficiency points, Gold to Titanium only 6. A factor we hold no value for scores zero rather than being skipped, so a unit we know little about never outranks a fully specified one. That does mean a zero can mean either poor or unknown, which is what the confidence figure above is for. Physical size scores nothing: ATX is a fit decision, not a quality one.
Measured in the lab
Everything else on this page is a specification the manufacturer published. These figures were measured from the PRIME TX-1600 itself by Cybenetics, an independent test lab.

- 24.1 dB(A)Cybenetics grade A, averaged across the load range
- Zero-RPM mode
- YesThe fan stops entirely at low load
- Fan bearing
- Fluid dynamicWhat the fan spins on, and how long it lasts
Each figure is an average over more than 1,450 load combinations, which is not the same measurement as the 80+ Titanium badge on the box. That badge certifies the unit at a handful of fixed load points; this covers the whole range, including the light loads a desktop spends most of its time at. Lab figures exist for roughly a fifth of the units we track, so their absence on another page means that unit has not been through this lab, not that it did badly.

What the PRIME TX-1600 can power
Compare all GPUs →The graphics cards this 1600W unit meets the system requirement for, ranked fastest first at 4K, with the margin left over. The resolution follows the wattage, because a unit this size is bought for a card that will be run at 4K. Headroom is measured against the card maker’s own whole-system recommendation, so 0 W means it meets that recommendation exactly rather than falling short.
