Seasonic has launched the updated Prime PX 1600 Watt PSU that TPU spotted at Computex earlier this month, alongside two new Prime TX models at 1300 and 1600 Watt. The three models all adhere to the ATX 3.0 standard, unlike its predecessors. However, it appears that Seasonic hasn't as yet, at least, decided to update its lower Wattage models to the ATX 3.0 standard. Both 1600 Watt models feature a pair of 12VHPWR connectors, whereas the 1300 Watt model gets to make do with a single 12VHPWR connector. All three models feature no less than nine CPU/PCIe 12 V connectors and six peripheral connectors for modular cables.

The Prime PX is rated for 80 Plus Platinum and the Prime TX for 80 Plus Titanium and this appears to be the only major difference between the two models. Other interesting features include a 135 mm fan with fluid dynamic bearings and a digital hybrid fan control, as well as a bundles basic PSU tester. Both models also come with a 12 year warranty. Price wise, the Prime PX-1600 will retail for US$509.99/€459.99, with the Prime TX-1300 going for US$519.99/€479.99 and finally the Prime TX-1600 will set you back US$609.99/€549.99, suggesting a steep price premium for only a marginally more efficient PSU.

ADATA in its exhibition on the sidelines of CES, showed off the Fusion 1600 TITANIUM, an enthusiast-segment 1600 W PSU for highly overclocked PC builds. Designed in collaboration with Delta Electronics (popular for server PSUs and laptop power bricks), the Fusion TITANIUM uses GaNFETs and a planar transformer in its switching circuitry, and is Cybenetics Titanium and 80 Plus Titanium certified. The PSU complies with both ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 specs for excursion tolerance.

The XPG Fusion 1600 TITANIUM offers two native 16-pin ATX 12VHPWR connectors that are each capable of 600 W continuous power delivery, with 200% excursions within specified limits. You also get at least twelve 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors, and multiple 4+4 pin EPS. A USB 2.0 connection interfaces the PSU with software, with a dedicated UWP app giving you real-time monitoring and data-logging for the PSU.

Mining is a billion unit business by any metric you use: be it in hardware components sold, dollars generated for miners, and energy consumption, mining is one of the most florescent businesses in recent years. Mining around the globe consumes more power than many countries by themselves would; moves huge amounts of hardware through both sea and air; and is one of the more divisive technological developments of the decade, with proponents claiming it's the reinvention of the economic wheel, and others defining it as a hoax, a purposeless, virtual fallacy with no added value other than that which can be attributed to a pyramid scheme. However, no matter which side of the fence you stand in, there's one thing both miners and users usher in: enough PSU power to enable them to attain their particular use cases with both high-efficiency and peace of mind.
