From PC World: Austria-based Noctua has become a fan favorite for its high-quality cooling products and understated style. The company has been banking on that goodwill to spread its silent wings into new product lines, like partnering with Asus on brown graphics cards and even making keycaps and a screwdriver.
The next new Noctua product will be a power supply. It’s coming sooner than you think, and — like the aforementioned Asus collaboration — Noctua isn’t making it in-house.
It’ll be made in partnership with Seasonic, with Noctua lending out its oh-so-quiet fans while getting a bit of input on the power supply’s looks. It’s a Seasonic Prime TX-1600W, to be precise. A monster 1600-watt, ATX 3.1-compliant power supply packing a Noctua NF-A12x25 fan (120mm).
This is a part that’s meant only for the most bombastic of PC builds. It’s already $600 for the top-of-the-line model without the collaborative branding, and there’s no word on how much the Noctua Edition will cost. (You can start with “more” and make an educated guess.) According to the promo spotted at Computex, the fancy brown version is “near inaudible” even under a high load.
