GIGABYTE introduced the AORUS P1600W power supply, targeting users who build extreme multi-GPU workstations. This unit delivers 1600W of power in a compact 160mm chassis, making high-end configurations feasible in smaller cases. Builders needing to run four graphics cards simultaneously will find the native support for this setup particularly relevant.

The power supply unit (PSU) is built around a digital power design that utilizes Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology. GIGABYTE states this approach allows the unit to achieve an 80 PLUS Titanium efficiency rating. The company also specified the use of 100% Japanese capacitors to ensure long-term stability under heavy electrical loads.
Specifications
- Power Capacity: 1600W
- Efficiency Rating: 80 PLUS Titanium
- Form Factor: 160mm
- Standards Compliance: ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1
- Connectors: Two native 16-pin-to-16-pin PCIe connectors and cables, two dual-8-pin-to-16-pin PCIe connectors and cables
Connectivity for high-end GPUs is handled by four PCIe power cables. Two of these are native 16-pin-to-16-pin connectors, while the other two are dual-8-pin-to-16-pin adapters. The unit complies with the latest ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, ensuring compatibility with next-generation graphics hardware.
Thermal management relies on a 140mm double ball bearing fan. GIGABYTE claims the fan maintains near-silent operation during low and medium loads. The company notes that the cooling system ramps up to peak performance only during sustained heavy workloads. A full-color LCD Edge View display provides real-time power monitoring for the user.
GIGABYTE describes the AORUS P1600W as a new benchmark for flagship power supplies due to its combination of output and efficiency. The product was showcased at Computex 2026. No pricing or release date information has been provided for this model.
