For such a high Price I expect at least a very expensive cooling solution with LOTs of heat pipes . and not relying on a "fan" no matter how good the fan is.

Heck for that price they should throw in a D15 and a couple of case fans

Glue a Noctua fan to some Styrofoam shoes and charge $800.
Give Nike some real competition.

Not here to defend the $569 price tag for an average consumer, but currently Amazon offers the regular TX-1600 at $540 [1], and the 'typical price' is set at $578.70. So $29 more for premium fan is hardly theft.

TX-1600 is also the flagship model from Seasonic[2], so it comes with the premium tax anyway.

Seasonic's TX line of PSUs are arguably the best in the world, and you pay for it, not to say the price is not justified.

Noctua fans are one of the most overpriced computer peripheral in recent memory. It’s just a high quality fan made with different colored material. Actual cost is probably $3 or less. It’s not like it’s a HDD motor made by Sanyo Denki that have to run at 7200 RPM for years and an entire HDD is only ~$100

I'm not sure I would agree given that Drop sells a keyboard for $500.

Noctua fans are one of the most overpriced computer peripheral in recent memory.

that's why i seldom purchased their fans, and plus there have been good alternatives in recent years, although that has also changed... the 120mm/30mm-thick phanteks for instance that were once legendary have apparently been changed, people are complaining about the latest version.

some of the testing on these new 140mm g2 noctua fans has been outstanding, i just ordered three of 'em for my aio, but it hurt the pocketbook :-/

not sure that i'd pony up for the fan in this power supply, it's their older fan technology?
