Seasonic Revolutionizes Passive Cooling with 1kW Power Supply

Seasonic is gearing up to release a groundbreaking 1 kW power supply unit (PSU) that stands out due to its passive cooling system. This will position it as one of the most powerful fanless PSUs available on the market. Currently, the manufacturer’s lineup includes models with power outputs of 600 and 700 watts.

What truly sets this new release apart is its 80 Plus Titanium certification, indicative of unparalleled energy efficiency, accompanied by an impressive 12-year warranty. Naturally, it will be a modular PSU adhering to the ATX 3.1 standard. However, further specifications remain under wraps.

In the realm of more powerful passive units, the Cooler Master Silent Edge offers an 1100W option, making it one of the few competitors in this niche market. Analysts anticipate an increasing demand for high-wattage passive PSUs as technology advances, further driven by the push towards energy efficiency and eco-friendly solutions in computing.

The 80 Plus Titanium certification ensures that the PSU achieves at least 90% efficiency at 10% load and 92% or better at 20% or more, reducing energy waste and improving PSU longevity. Meanwhile, ATX 3.1 standard support signifies its readiness for the latest technological advancements, catering perfectly to modern high-performance PC builds.
