Seasonic needs no introduction. It is the manufacturer of the best power supplies for personal computers in the world. The brand’s feature is that it has a full production cycle for power supplies. Interestingly, some well-known brands purchase components from Seasonic, stick their own label on them, and sell under their own trademark.
Seasonic PRIME Fanless TX – High Efficiency and Silence
There can be endless debates about passive cooling power supplies. Yes, logically, they tend to heat up and even burn out. However, all problems arise not from lack of airflow, but from low efficiency. When a certain percentage of consumed power is dissipated as heat. This affects all Chinese OEM power supplies that come with budget cases.
With the Seasonic PRIME Fanless TX, this will not happen. Its efficiency is 96%. This means that for every 100 W of power consumed to power a PC, 96 W are used, and 4 W are dissipated. For comparison, budget solutions under the same conditions convert 10-20 W into heat. Seasonic’s certification: 80+ Titanium and Cybenetics A++. This is enough to understand the class of the electrical equipment quality.
The Seasonic PRIME Fanless TX power supply features modular cable connections. This is convenient for most PCs, where cables simply do not take up free space inside the case. But this does not mean that a PC with a lot of hardware inside cannot have its power connections. There is enough electricity for everyone. Seasonic knows how to properly calculate for both budget and gaming computers.
The absence of a fan inside the PSU is compensated by a passive cooling system. It is implemented by adding aluminum plates. Their placement inside the power supply case can be considered ideal, as heat dissipation is excellent when mounted at the top or bottom of the case.
The weak point of the Seasonic PRIME Fanless TX power supply is its price. In the European market, it costs 220 Euros. However, considering the 12-year manufacturer warranty, this is not such a high fee. Plus, according to user reviews, many owners have been using Seasonic power supplies for over 20 years. All components inside are replaced, but the power supply remains the same.
