Chassis Screws Package x 1 (4 mounting screws)

Overall, it’s a rich package; you shouldn’t need more. Below, you can find a list of the supplied cables:

Description	Cable Count	Connector Count (Total)
24-pin ATX (610 mm)	1	1
4+4 pin EPS12V (700 mm)	3	3
12+2-pin PCI-E Cable (750 mm)	2	2
6+2 pin PCIe (750 mm)	8	8
SATA (510 mm+150 mm+150 mm+150 mm)	4	16
SATA (410mm+150mm)	1	2
4-pin Molex (460mm+125mm+125mm)	1	3
AC Power Cord Type (1360mm)	1	1

Here, you can see the entire bunch. Some of you will enjoy the view. The cables are all black, so they fit most users’ needs. All cables come in both a solid and flexible braided casing. All connectors are individually sleeved cables, including the SATA and Molex cables; still - in the sample, we got the 12VHPWR cable with a braided sleeve (in the ones sold now - it should be with a braid pattern.

They are sufficient in terms of number and length as well. Eight sets of 6+2 pin PCIe cables are included measuring 750 mm. The 24-pin ATX motherboard cable is 61 cm long, whereas the 8-pin ATX CPU leads are 70 cm long. SATA is 960 and 560 mm long, and the Molex lead is 610 mm. These cables are modular, so you won’t have to plug in the ones you don’t need in your system, reducing cable clutter in your PC. According to the manufacturer, we should find quality components inside, so let’s open it up.

This unit delivers enough power for most daily users, as there is a single +12 V rail with a total of 1300 W (108.3 A), so the unit should manage even an RTX 4090.

Seasonic Prime Titanium TX-1300 is a good-looking power supply. You can see the 19 modular power connectors, which are grouped and tagged.

There is an on/off switch and a push-button for disabling/enabling the semi-passive fan operation. The main socket for the power supply cable is in C19, not the typical C13 standard. Next page, please.

Seasonic Prime Titanium TX-1300 (1300W PSU) review
Today we’re putting the new Seasonic Prime Titanium TX-1300 power supply on our test bench. The company is mainly known for its PSUs (like Connect or Focus SGX), but we also already checked their two chassis (Q704 and Q503). Still, the high-end offer in the power supply range is the Prime series. The series debuted in 2016, but the TX-1300 and TX-1600 were released in July ’22. Both are not ATX 3.0 compatible (this will come in mid-December with a Vertex PSU family). Still, one of the new things introduced in the Prime Titanium TX-1300/TX-1600 (but also the 80 Plus Platinum compatible PX-1300/PX-1600 models) is the PCI Express® 5.0 compatible 12+4-pin power cable. Although the TX-1300 is a new PSU featuring two 12VHPWR connectors, it still isn’t ATX 3.0 compatible. You get a 16-pin capable of providing up to 600 W (12+4). So what does it mean exactly? Geforce RTX 30xx/40xx Founders Edition will work with Prime Titanium TX-1300 PCIe Gen5 connectors simply because they do not need more than 450W. The other versions of RTX 4090 – can get more than that, which should work too.

Seasonic Arch Q503 chassis + Connect PSU review
Seasonic company is known mainly for its power supplies, including the Focus (available in ATX and SFX factor), Prime (with the 80 Plus certificate up to Titanium), or Connect series. But that’s not all, as we already had a chance to check out their first chassis last year – Syncro Q704 with a 750W power supply. It has earned a “Recommended” award. It was an inverted ATX case, but we got something more traditional this time. It’s a Seasonic Arch Q503, which was presented in May ’22. This model should be cheaper; however, it was also designed more conventionally. It uses a two-chamber structure, with the mainboard tray sitting on the right side of the case.

Seasonic Syncro Q704 chassis + Connect PSU review
Seasonic company is known for its great power supplies, including the Focus (available both in ATX and factor), Prime (with the 80 Plus certificate up to Titanium), or Connect series. Speaking of the last one, they’ve gone further by introducing a chassis containing this piece of hardware – it’s a Seasonic SYNCRO Q704. But that’s not all – according to the marketing information, it really fits together, literally and figuratively.

Seasonic Connect 750 W PSU review
Remember that Seasonic Connect power supply? We have it on our test bench for a review today. It was finally introduced to the market on the 4th of March, after a long wait (they first presented it...
