Hello all. I have an question about psu.

PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition.​

I will be buying Ryzen 9800X3D and Rtx 5090 in January.

This psu:
https://seasonic.com/pl/prime-tx-1600-noctua-edition/


1.What is noctua edition ?
2.Is this worth it to buy?
3.Will be this psu enough?
4.Is this atx 3.1 and pcie 5.1?

Thank you. Prize is 604,69 Euro in my country. Maybe overprized?

Sorry for too much questions, i am tired a little. I taked meds but i cant sleep still. : ) I think i will not sleep today.

It will be more than enough. A solid 1kw quality PSU will do the trick with plenty headroom. It is a PSU collaboration with Noctua fans. All they do it stick one of their butt ugly brown fans in it. Definitely not worth $600eu.

So it will be fine?
 
I'm sure it's a good PSU, but it's way too expensive. Also if all you care about is silence, the Coolermaster X Silent Max Platinum 1300 is even quieter. If you look at HW Busters reviews, the Coolermaster is fanless up to 1000W. The TX-1600 Noctua Edition's fan is pretty much always on above 60W load, running between 400-800rpm below 1000W load. So you aren't even getting true silence.

Im just lookin for Psu enough for rtx 5090 and 9800X3D. It must be Seasonic.

You will be fine with a Seasonic Vertex GX/PX 850-1000w unit and save yourself a couple hundred euros. A 1600w PSU is way overkill for your upcoming gear.
 
VERTEX GX-1200 80Plus Gold 1200W will be fine? its cheaper a lot. But its atx 3.0 and pcie 5.0

Shop around, they have ATX 3.1 models available according to their website. I would stick with ATX 3.1 if you're going to buy a 5090.
 
Is just hard to get normal psu with atx 3.1 and pcie 5.1 on my country. Only that 1600 Noctua pcie 5.1 and atx 3.1, and other models only 1000W focus with atx 3.1 and pcie 5.1 Not 1200+ up.

I will wait to january,maybe some 1200W models will appear.

A 1000w unit is more than enough for the gear you're looking at, in fact you'll have plenty of headroom for anything the future may bring in the next 10 years.
 
Ok thx hititn,i will wait to January and then i will buy all gear. Hope i will get 5090 fast and 9800X3D <no scalpers etc> : )

PS:
Apologize for my bad language.
