The information provided clearly states that the PX-1300 was released in 2019. However, there has never been a Prime Platinum 1300W model. The maximum power output is 1200W, and it was launched in 2016. The available models include the PRIME Ultra from 2017 and the OneSeasonic initiative introduced in 2019 with updated naming conventions. For further details, you can refer to the official sources linked above.
I will proceed based on what I understand to be accurate, using some visual references to past and current models. Here is a review of an older Prime PX-1300w PSU from 2021, comparing it to the newer ATX 3.0 model that includes a 12VHPWR cable. I noticed the green PCB on the PSU side, whereas newer versions use a gray or black PCB in the same area. There is an unboxing video for what appears to be a non-existent Seasonic PRIME Platinum 1300w PSU, though it is listed in Spanish. The PSU from the Seasonic website comes with a 12VHPWR cable, indicating it follows the ATX 3.0 standard. This standard was introduced in 2022 and included a 12VHPWR connector for power delivery. The PX-1300w model I saw is likely from around 2022 or 2023, as suggested by the Seasonic site, and it shares similarities with the newer ATX 3.0 variant. However, Seasonic has removed information about its older versions, making it hard to find original details on their website.
Well, for PX-1300, the 12VHPWR cable is just a late add-on. But that doesn't make the PSU itself ATX 3.x, instead PSU is still ATX 2.x. Also, that much is said on the specs page: In a similar sense, if i take official Seasonic certified 12VHPWR cable and plug it to my PRIME 650 Titanium, from 2016, it doesn't magically make my PSU ATX 3.0. It still is ATX 2.5. Or is it not? If there is a will - there is a way. Wayback machine, from March 26, 2019, link: https://web.archive.org/web/201903261410...w-platinum About green PCB; Before name change (named PRIME 1300 Platinum), the PCB is green (seen from wayback machine specs pics and hardly in the unboxing video you linked). After name change (named PRIME PX-1300), the PCB is also green (seen on PX-1300 specs page + review you linked). Where do you see the black/gray PCB? With the data you shared, the timeline of that PSU is: 2019 - Initial release of the PSU. Model: SSR-1300PD Active PFC F3 (PRIME 1300 Platinum) 2019 - OneSeasonic, renaming of PSUs. Model: SSR-1300PD Active PFC F3 (PRIME PX-1300) 2022 - Addition of 12VHPWR cable to the PSU. While PSU still is ATX 2.x. I initially thought that Seasonic didn't release the PSU with old name, but i guess they still managed to produce some 🤔, before moving on to the new name. (Nice to know that now.) Still, the unit itself (innards) is still the same. Just renaming the PSUs also is evident by other PSUs Seasonic had in 2019. E.g: 2017 - Initial release of: SSR-1000TR (PRIME Ultra 1000 Titanium) with green PCB. Review: 2019 - Rename of PSU: SSR-1000TR (PRIME TX-1000) with green PCB. Review: https://tech-legend.com/reviews/seasonic...tx-1000/2/ 2022 - Addition of 12VHPWR cable to the PSU. While PSU still is ATX 2.x. Now, if PSU would truly be ATX 3.x, then it would so say on the tin (both the specs page and on part number). E.g SSR-1600TR (PRIME TX-1600), review: SSR-1600TR2 (PRME TX-1600 ATX 3.0), review: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/seaso...3-0/3.html Or when there are slight changes to the platform, the PSU part number also changes. E.g SSR-650TD Active PFC F3 (PRIME 650 Titanium) SSR-650TR (PRIME Ultra 650 Titanium) But renaming only changes model name, keeping part number same (since innards are same); SSR-650TR (PRIME TX-650)
