The over current protection (OCP) triggering points should be lower at high temperatures. The 12V rail has a higher set OCP than the TX-1600, which I don’t approve of; the same applies to over power protection (OPP). Moreover, the 3.3V rail’s OCP is set sky-high.
Based on your suggestions bought the PX-1600. Amazing quality and cables are braided. Saved around 130 USD compared to the TX version.
I am using on a 220v socket so efficiency must be even better.
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.
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
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.
