First review I've found of the Seasonic Prime Fanless TX-700. It's in German but Chrome translated it pretty well. Never heard of this website though.

We just like more pretty colors. ARGB all the things.

US has been dealing with this for months. Good luck.

You can connect it only to the Molex. It will run at full power all the time. The 4 pin is for both power and using the mobo or OS to control the fan. Probably not a good idea to plug both in simultaneously.

As per my OP, I did not get it because it I wanted fanless. It was just the first one I found in stock that I wanted.

Got impatient and installed it tonight. Didn’t stress-test it yet, but it survived the UPS self-test. Very happy! Will stress-test it the next day or two. My case ended up not having any space over the PSU. As Seasonic recommends on their website, I installed it upside down. I cranked up all my fans to stay at 100% all the time, here’s to hoping that’s good enough. Seasonic included velcro ties and zip ties, very nice. PSU came in a thin black bag. The dedicated storage pouch for the cables is just a bag, for this price I would have expected a nice heavy pouch like came with my ancient Corsair. Not a big deal. The included PSU tester is nice to have, but for this price and with a fanless PSU I wish the tester would have some LED indicator on it, and not require me to find a freaking Molex>fan adapter to connect a fan. The previous PSU was a Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 850W, part TPG-0850F-R, model TPG-850AH3FSGR. It was loud.

Thank you!

Who’s even selling that any more? I took the case off my old HX520W and it looked good but if I hadn’t had it just sitting in storage this whole time, I wouldn’t have even considered it.

The Prime or the Prime Ultra? Source on it being essentially the same?

Got it because it was the first high-enough wattage Gold+ PSU to pop up actually in stock. Will be installing it Friday night or Saturday replacing the cheap Thermaltake we scrounged up at Best Buy a couple weeks ago. I have an older Lian Li PC-B25B with the PSU up top. 2 120s in front, a 120 in the rear, currently a single 120 on the CPU HSF but may put another on the other side. Overkill for the Ryzen 5 3600X/Radeon 5700 XT/1TB SSD, but I would still be using my Corsair if I could have sourced a secondary GPU cable. I want the same longevity and reliability from this PSU. We always have the AC on when it’s hot and the computer isn’t on when it’s not used, so I’m not too worried. Hopefully I’m not wrong. Anyone seen any reviews? Anyone have it?
