CONCLUSION

    Just like all PRIME models before it the TX-1000 does a great job both in regards to rail stability and noise levels. Build quality is of course one of the strongest selling points of most Seasonic models and well it’s a valid one here as well. The lack of ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 compliance is the sole drawback of this model but thanks to the addition of an 12VHPWR adapter I think most people will find that they can do without it. That being said getting your hands on one of the newer ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 compliant PRIME models is the best choice but since Seasonic has yet to release an 1KW model this one could be a better overall option for some people.

    Currently retailing for USD319.75 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for around 315Euros inside the EU the PRIME TX-1000 by Seasonic is certainly priced high but not that higher compared to 80 PLUS Titanium models with similar build quality and output. At the end of the date the only reason one should get the TX-1000 over the TX-1300 model for example which is ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 compliant is cost but since it also delivers rock solid rail stability, great electrical efficiency and low noise levels it clearly deserves the Golden Award.
