Seasonic New Flagship PSU Pictured Among Other Power Supplies at Computex 2024

[Nomad76]

Seasonic addition to its Prime Series is a new flagship 2200 watt power supply, the Prime PX-2200 80 Plus Platinum. It is ATX 3.1 standard compliant, offering multi-GPU support and a 12-year warranty. Another 80 Plus Platinum PSU model is the limited edition Vertex PX-1200 White Dragon. Then we spotted the new version of the Seasonic Prime 1600 W PSU with a Noctua NF-A12x25 fan. This power supply meets ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards. It is fully modular with Noctua themed cables while being 80 Plus Titanium and Cybernetics ETA Titanium certified.

This year Seasonic PSU lineup at Computex is completed with a range of 80 Plus Gold certified power supplies. Starting with the Vertex White Sakura GX-1000, the Focus series with GX-1000 / GX-750 models, and the Vertex GX-1200. All of those are ATX 3.0 standard compliant, fully modular PSUs.

Good lord what a beast! 2200 watts. I'm not sure if that is even practical to use here in the US with 110 volt outlets rated to 1800 watts.

A 12 year warranty is impressive as well.

That Noctua version looks interesting, it would save me from needing to fan mod a PSU and throw away their 10+ years of warranty for better/silent cooling.

But I'd rather just settle for an external fan connector, so the fan speed can be adjusted without drilling holes into the thing. Then even the normal fans would suffice.

I thought 1000W+ PSUs are more or less niche these days...2200W could power a Threadripper Pro + 4xRTX 6000 Ada. With all the bells and whistles, and comfortable margin.

Some strategic blockage of vents could redirect significant amount of case airflow through the PSU, assuming the usual PSU-exhaust-to-outside setup. It seemed to work well.

Just what the world never asked for, a Noctua poop brown themed PSU hahaha! Seasonics goin all in on these new limited edition units.

Most heaters have that power rating in the US, if I'm not mistaken. Aren't there higher amp breakers for outlets?

There's 240 volt breakers but that's just for major things like AC compressors and electric central air heat.

How exactly would you do that in modern PC cases, where you have 12 fan slots but the PSU is in a completely separate chamber? You'd only really be able to do it in an old school case that has the PSU above the motherboard, and a tower cooler that can be rotated 90 degrees to point upwards (and for AM4/5 that's extremely uncommon). Or maybe in SFF cases that have the PSU mounted in the top front part of the system, but then you'd have to make the air come in from the back.

Guess that's more setup-specific than I thought. The separate chamber can be not entirely out of the path of airflow depending on case design, and I think I could feel more air movement out of the PSU, when I put on additional dust filters on my current setup.

I suppose I was being too certain.

Are you sure it wasn't just because you put more than average load on it, which made the power supply fan spin up?

By the way, an SFF case with the tower cooler blowing air into the PSU opening, is exactly the type of setup I have (incidentally with Noctua fans), so I commend you on your telepathy.
