What's everyone else's opinion on Super Flower?
like any other OEM, the can produce some excellent units and some mediocre ones. They also tend to outsource more than other guys. I would have no issue recommend their worthwhile stuff or using them.

Good thread for a poll.
it would just be a popularity poll considering most of the people voting would not be able to tell one unit from another without the sticker on the PSU housing. An interesting poll would be to just show the platform of each PSU in a poll and have people vote on the best one!

I don't know what the quality of EVGA PSUs are today but I would look for a review from @crmaris if you can find one. He has the equipment, knowledge and experience to test PSUs properly. When I got my current EVGA Supernova Gold about 6 years ago the review on jonnyguru had nothing but good things to say about it. Final score 9.9 out of 10. Japanese caps. 10 year warranty. It's definitely a high quality unit. Too bad that jonnyguru's site isn't still up. It was an excellent source for PSU reviews.

I've asked to Seasonic HQ again for stock problems and complained about local distributor 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.

They are plenty of alternatives, you are talking about RTX3000, then your wallet it can also absorb European VAT too.
They are plenty of web stores in Germany, that English speaking people can buy from them.

Hi,
Think evga stopped using super flower.
They don't build any of their newer units but they still build the G2/G3 series. Altho those have dwindled down to only the high wattage PSUs.

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.
I have the Super Flower Leadex Platinum SE 1000W. Its a good power supply so far but the stock power cable was crappy (stiff, short, didn't fit the receptacle well) and the fan is very loud. I replaced the power cable with a longer and more pliable Dell PowerEdge OEM cable of thick gauge and that helped. I think that the Superflower Leadex SE is the same power supply as the well received EVGA P2 and G2.

Hi,
See if you can find a evga P850 it's a super flower unit and very good for an older gen.
I have 750-850-1000-1200p2 currently.

Hi,
Nope that's a GA I have no idea how good it is.
It was quite affordable comparing to other brands but... can't be sure.

Thank you a million though.

If I have to say it today, I say EVGA. Best PSU I ever had, its been going for I think just over 5 years. Its not audible over the rest of the system and rock solid. You also hear notoriously little noise about EVGA's PSU lines ever. Even if they're made by different OEMs.

I have a less than good experience with a CWT unit, a LEPA G650 modular one. Extremely noisy fan, and gave me issues eventually (4 years in).

Its far more important to find out who was the OEM of your PSU vs who is on the side of the PSU

I will always looks for Seasonic/Delta as Tier 1 and then people like Superflower/CWT at tier 2s

Is LEPA still around? They used a cheaper yate loon fan that was notorious for being noisy and why do I want say those units were only rate gold at 30c?

they have killer price points (took the same page out of the playbook Antec, Corsair, and XFX all did) but they definitely toss everything but the kitchen sink into the market place

Seasonic/Delta as Tier 1 and then people like Superflower/CWT at tier 2s
I would consider them all equally capable, Delta seems to spend more of their time with servers and PC manufactures than consumer PSU unless Antec comes calling.

The only reason I put Superflower and CWT as "tier 2" is purely because their QC isnt up to the same standard as Seasonic and especially Deltas is.

Platform and technology wise they have been up there and sometimes ever surpassed Seasonic/Delta but there has been more than 1 time where something was off either suspect soldering, lack of solder, poorly mounted component etc when they were reviewed.

Super Flower are the manufacturer who makes everyone elses psu's, they only make psu's and they are smart enough to use Japanese capacitors which is important because Chinese capacitors are usually a smaller capacitor in a big capacitor case. I also like EVGA power supplies and really anyone who offers a 10 year warranty on their product is generally reliable.

Why Japanese capacitors is an important requirement, if you look in the 2200milli farad cap there's probably a 600mf.

that there is some messed up stuff!!

But Rubycon, thats good stuff lol

Edit - I would say they all rotate depending on the changes management makes over the years.


can also check reviews there, or read the ATX specification..........................doesn't mean it's being followed.

End of the day quality components, quality construction, good QAQC, and a good warranty go a long way.

I have had several issues with seasonic focus series, so I gave fractal ion+ platinum and superflower leadex V a go and so far so good.

The only reason I put Superflower and CWT as "tier 2" is purely because their QC isnt up to the same standard as Seasonic and especially Deltas is.

Platform and technology wise they have been up there and sometimes ever surpassed Seasonic/Delta but there has been more than 1 time where something was off either suspect soldering, lack of solder, poorly mounted component etc when they were reviewed.
Yeah the whole "tier" system tends to be used by amateur hour people so not really sure where you make up your info but whatever floats your boat

I will love to see proofs of DOA stats from the brands that you do mention.
Because Seasonic it did share with me of their actual DOA stats, and they are for my eyes only.

Pause for thoughts ...
The OP is now upset and unhappy, I will simply suggest us to avoid add-up more confusion.
Because this is not helping any.

Kalimera,

Do you think I should choose Evga Ga series because there is no Seasonic 850w psu at the moment?

Just get a Superflower Leadex Platinum SE 850W, its the exact same as the old EVGA 850 P2. Superflower physically produces them for EVGA and EVGA puts their sticker and branding on it.

Hi,
He'll have to find another place to shop for a superflower unit it's not listed on the site he posted to earlier unfortunately :(

Kalimera,

Do you think I should choose Evga Ga series because there is no Seasonic 850w psu at the moment?
I couldn't find any reviews on that model at all :/
Only the GQ and the thermaltake unit which even it was not exactly the same GF the review is for GF1 :confused:

Guessing @dirtyferret hasn't seen much on it either ?
