  Too bad the Calyos case was vaporware.
  
  Seasonic should pick up where that company flopped.

  " Meanwhile, to conform to the 80Plus Titanium requirements, the Prime TX-700 Fanless PSU is mandated to be at least 94% efficient under a 20%, 50% and 100% load as well as at least 90% efficient under a 10% load."
  
  This is incorrect. 80+ Titanium is 92/94/90% at 20/50/100% load at 115V. At 230V (consumer) it's 94/96/94% efficient at the same loads.

  "to build whisper quite [SIC] systems"
  
  Here Anton Shilov goes again. If it's FANLESS it can't be WHISPER quiet, it's SILENT. A whisper can be heard, so that would be NOT SILENT.
  
  If it's not silent I want my money back, as that's the only justification for the design... and yes, I'm sure that this design does assume there is a case fan or other system fan in play anyway and pure convection isn't the only source of case air movement.

  The systems were described as whisper-quiet, not the PSU.

  You're being dumb. The PSU would be silent, but the whole system would be whisper quiet, since presumably you've got a fan on your GPU. You even acknowledge that without irony later....

  Seasonic and other passive PSUs had sometimes problems with coil whine, so whisper quiet might actually be just that.

  I just wish they would bother to make the PCB black. Since it's see through. They clearly care enough about exterior aesthetics. Other companies have moved onto black PCBs even through you rarely see it. But on this, it's more visible. Yet Seasonic hasn't changed that.

  I don't get this products, I prefer a basically inaudible fan noise at 400-700rpm than higher possibilities of coil whine.
  
  Despite that, a PC will always have fans, either for the cpu (air cooling or for the aio) or on the gpu.

  +fans moving air in-outside.

  Put a Intel NUC inside a fanless case from Akasa and you can have a pretty powerful PC for everyday use without any fans at all 🤔

  I have two fanless PSU systems, one is ~6yrs old and one is ~1.5yrs old and neither PSU make any sounds at all. I can't see myself ever buying one with a fan again.

  Hi me! I bought one of these :)

• Exp_Matters - Monday, February 3, 2020 - link

  6 months no news about this PSU, I'm still wondering when it will be released.

• Jackbender - Sunday, February 9, 2020 - link

  I was going to write just that because I'm eager to buy one.

  Seasonic just released the PRIME FANLESS TX-700.
