I'd challenge you to find a modern superflower or Seasonic that lacks active pfc.

I could pick any 850w seasonic PSU if it was available here.
Currently I'm waiting the EU warehouse to confirm the stock exists or not.
Local distributor of seasonic is crap here. I'm sorry. They didn't even bother to reply my email.

Ps. Even though I'm an MSI fanboy and love all of its products, for PSU I would definitely go for seasonic. There's no way around.

Most people are not aware that from 20 December up to 5 January, even people working at shops and or corporation and or freelancer and or logistics (shipping) , they all enjoy their holidays time as everyone else does.
At 10 January and later the market will operates again at full speed.

Happy New Year to all.

I like the SilentiumPC lineup: Power supply : SilentiumPC
They are very quiet and pretty stable. I've never used high power components, so can't tell how they perform under prolonged high loads.
Generally, my PSUs never reach 80% load.

I watched a lot of tech reviews and materials about PSU's lately because i am searching for a good power supply,
what i found is that you can have a cheap 500-1000W PSU but the voltage ripple can and will destroy your components like motherboard and gpu.
You will not see it because the gpu and motherboard will filter it but eventually you will see swollen caps and system instability.
Just look at some reviews on techpowerup at ultra expensive power supply how stable 12v rail is at any load, then look at cheap ones how it fluctuates.
From reviews i was impressed by how tight the voltage regulation is on expensive seasonic power supply's, they deserve the praise everyone gives.

And that's one of the reasons why people shouldn't cheap out on a PSU. Especially ones that use other higher end components. Because if it's a high quality one, it should outlive all of the other components, and it'll be carried through multiple rigs as well. If you choose carefully, it could be single buy in 15+ years or so. It really is the heart of your system, Seasonic couldn't get better marketing tbh.

Something was seriously wrong with my old Chieftec PSU.
Today, before i installed the new PSU i wanted to check coil wine and power consumption in some scenarios, so here are the numbers :
Chieftec Smart 700W Seasonic 1000W GOLD
Bios idle ~135W ~75W
Windows idle ~78W ~ 36W
Copy stick ~108W ~55W
Cinebench ~239W ~181W
Witcher 3 ~250W ~200W
Coil wine on GPU disappeared but the coil wine on the motherboard is the same.
Thank god i rushed to change the PSU, i was wasting power and who knows how much life it took from the motherboard.

This is completely anecdotal, but I have yet to have a Seasonic PSU fail on me. My 1000w Platinum is out of warranty (8 years,) and still works plenty fine. If I were to buy a new PSU, I'd probably stick with Seasonic because of my own personal experience with them. However, I'm sure you'll find somebody who has had a bad experience with them. No vendor is perfect.

Some time ago i bought a power meter model is DEM1379A.
Power consumption is for the whole system and is in Watt

I've asked to Seasonic HQ again for stock problems and complained about local distrubutor in Turkey because they are not replying. After that e-mail, they did answer however, there will be no 850W Seasonic psu until May!
What should I do now? As a customer I want to buy the best PSU, but there is no stock! Shame.

What should I do now?
get a seasonic sticker (or a label maker) buy a brand that just puts their name on a seasonic made unit and place your sticker (or label) over that brand's sticker...or look at the other brands that sell equal or better units
As a customer I want to buy the best PSU, but there is no stock
well than you are looking at the wrong unit as Aris has the Corsair RM850x (CWT built) as the "best" 850w PSU

while the PSU proper function & reliability is important, the PSU design itself is hardly impressive. These manufacturers all get their parts from the same handful of suppliers for fans, mosfets, caps, etc., They all reverse engineer each other's products. If they don't have in-house SMT lines they outsource to the same few guys. They all basically use similar designs at equal price points. Stop making PSU manufacturing into space rocket technology from JPL. These units are manufacture at a cost (or often times much less) of what you spend at the movies taking out your significant other.
Someone could confirm it, but MSI doesn't have PSU based on Seasonic platform ?
which MSI line and specific unit?

Hi,
Not really all of them have crappy versions and only a couple actually make psu's others just slap a label on it and call it a day.

So seasonic verses super flower lol

There's your poll.

I typically go Seasonic (used to have a FOCUS GX-750 and loved it) but this past Black Friday, Super Flower was having a huge sale on their Leadex SE series that I just couldn't say no to. Picked up a 1200W Leadex Platinum SE for $190 and it runs my heavily OC'd 6950XT and 5800X3D with ease. Planning on taking good care of it and hopefully moving it over into my next build when the time comes.

What's everyone else's opinion on Super Flower? I hadn't heard much of them prior to my purchase and was a little bit skeptical of the price but I've had zero problems so far.
