Overall Performance
Thanks to the better load regulation, the longer hold-up time, and the higher efficiency at light and super-light loads, the PX-1600 has a slight lead over the TX-1600. This is not the first time I have seen a Platinum unit achieving a higher overall score than its Titanium sibling. The tuning required to achieve Titanium in the 80 PLUS scheme can affect performance in other sections.

Very extensive review. I have the old Prime PX-1300 that has the 12v sense defect. I disconnected the wire and the PSU hasn’t turned off abnormally since when overclocking my 7900 XTX. My next PSU will definitely be ATX 3.0-compatible but I don’t think I need a new one, especially considering the limited choices now. I hope Corsair will update the AX1600i soon but I bet it will cost an arm and a leg.
Hi crmaris, thanks for your reviews on the TX & this PX, awesome job.
Are these cons significant enough to deter someone like yourself from buying one?
Have you tested/reviewed a better high end alternative or more simply, which PSU in the 1300W+ category would be your go to right now?
Hi! So far there isn’t any better choice in the ATX v3.0 and >1500W capacity. I haven’t tested something better. The Corsair AX1600i has higher overall performance but it isn’t ATX v3.0 compatible
Ok, thanks for replying crmaris. I’ve had good experience with Seasonic so far & their Prime range so I’ll stick with them, thanks again for your time & in-depth reviews.
