Seasonic teases cherry blossom-themed Focus ATX 3.1 'Sakura' power supply

Is it just me, or does everything feel pretty serious right now? With that in mind, a little whimsy is awfully welcome. Enter the Seasonic Focus ATX 3.1 Sakura Limited Edition.

It's basically an ATX 3.1 power supply with some cherry-blossom themed styling accoutrements, an aesthetic known as sakura in Japan, which is where Seasonic is based.

Not a huge amount is officially known about the Seasonic Focus ATX 3.1 Sakura Limited Edition, which Seasonic has teased on its official X account, merely commenting, "An evolved design, with meticulous attention to detail in every aspect. That cherry blossom color, once more."

The "once more" sign off probably refers to the existing Seasonic Vertex GX Sakura Limited Edition, which also sports those cherry blossom styling vibes.

Anywho, the Seasonic Focus ATX 3.1 Sakura Limited Edition very much looks like a derivation of the Seasonic Focus GX ATX 3.1. That's available in 750 W, 850 W and 1,000 W configurations and complies with the ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards. All three version are built into the same chassis within a compact 140 mm depth.

It sports 80 PLUS Gold certification with 90% efficiency at 50% system load, and in a claimed industry first, also offers Seasonic's patented, three-phased thermal control with Digital Hybrid Fan Control functions in three operational stages: Fanless Mode, Silent Mode, and Cooling Mode.

Fully modular cabling, including three PCIe 8-pin connectors, and a 10-year warranty are likewise part of the mix.

The Focus GX ATX 3.1 starts at just under $145 for the 750 W model, and extends to $169 and $204 for the 850 W and 1,000 W models respectively. Perhaps add a small premium on top for the new Sakura Limited Edition.

However, going by the Seasonic Vertex GX Sakura Limited Edition, which is only available in 1,000 W-spec, the full range of wattage options may not be available for the Focus ATX 3.1 Sakura.

We haven't reviewed a Seasonic PSU for a little while now. But the last unit we eyeballed got the thumbs up. There's no word on when the PSU will go on sale, with Seasonic simply saying it's "coming soon." Watch this space then. Or maybe this one.
