Seasonic Shows ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen5 PSUs, MagFlow Fans, and Goes Industrial at Computex 2023
Seasonic had a lot to show at Computex 2023, including its full range of power supply units from the PRIME, VERTEX, and FOCUS series, that are now fully compliant with ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 specifications. In addition, Seasonic also had its new MagFlow ARGB fans on display, and a wide range of high efficiency industrial PSUs.
Seasonic's PRIME, VERTEX, and FOCUS series were front and center at the Computex showcase, and those high power PSUs with Gold, Platinum, and Titanium efficiency ratings will be equipped with 12VHPWR connectors, meet the latest graphics card requirements, and feature both modular and recognizable stamped cable design. The star of the show were obviously the PRIME PX-1600, PRIME Fanless TX-700, and the FOCUS SPX-750, which is a compact SFX PSU with modular design.
Seasonic was also showcasing its MagFlow fans with magnetic daisy chaining capability, and these will now also be available with ARGB lighting. The MagFlow ARGB are 120 mm fluid dynamic bearing fans with patented design and shock absorbing pads, and capable of providing 63.33 CFM of airflow as they spin between 600 and 2000 RPM and producing 9.9 to 33.78 dBA of noise. Seasonic is also pushing into new markets with industrial PSUs that have high reliability, wide operating temperature, compliance with international safety standards, as well as special designed PSUs for medical and networking environments, with low leakage current and high power density.

Their whole FDB schtick looks nice but the Sunon Vapo in the T30-120 is incredibly hard to beat and no one has done it yet.
First company to come out with a truly modern 140mm will get my money. It's just a shame that Seasonic doesn't look to be the one. Still waiting.
- of a premium-looking design with what looks like a metal hub
- got fancy snap-on daisy chain tech
- ostensibly a modern 120 like A12x25, T30, Toughfan, SW4 on fan blades and blade-frame clearance
- Seasonic
I feel pretty confident that it's not trying to compete on price, therefore the 33dBa is not a promising start (unless literally everyone except Seasonic is patently lying about their numbers). Nothing has really shaken up the market thus far in that regard. If you want to save a buck, anything Arctic will do, or get one of those Vento Pros aka new GT. Not a lot of point in buying something in-between that is neither peak value nor top performance.So while the new Magflow should improve noise perf, judging from even the current Magflow matching the T30 in single unit pricing (~$30), it really doesn't look like SS is providing anything really new or exciting except a slightly cleaner implementation of what Lian Li does, so the point about price and general competitiveness stands.
