Gigabyte has introduced the AORUS P1600W, a new flagship power supply designed for users building high-end PC systems. This launch matters because it delivers maximum power density in a surprisingly compact form factor, which helps builders manage cable clutter in smaller cases. The unit pushes 1600W of output while maintaining an 80 Plus Titanium efficiency rating to minimize energy waste.

Compact 1600W unit uses Gallium Nitride for high density
The core of this power supply relies on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, which allows Gigabyte to shrink the physical footprint significantly. Despite the high wattage, the unit measures only 160mm in length, making it easier to fit into tight chassis layouts. This compact design does not compromise on component quality, as the manufacturer has equipped the unit with 100% Japanese capacitors for stable power delivery.
Specifications
- Power Output: 1600W
- Efficiency: 80 Plus Titanium
- Dimensions: 160mm length
- Standards: ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1
- Display: Edge View LCD screen
Technical compatibility is a key focus for this release, as the AORUS P1600W supports both ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards. To handle modern graphics cards, the package includes two native 16-pin to 16-pin PCIe cables and two dual 8-pin to 16-pin PCIe cables. Users can monitor system status in real-time using the built-in Edge View LCD screen, which provides immediate feedback on power metrics.
Thermal management for the unit is handled by a 140mm dual ball bearing fan that features a built-in dust removal function. This cooling solution aims to maintain quiet operation while ensuring the high-density components stay within safe temperature ranges. The combination of GaN efficiency and robust cooling infrastructure supports sustained performance under heavy loads for gaming or workstation tasks.
