I already knew how amazing this platform is, but the Leadex Gold 1300 W verified it once more. SuperFlower has for some years now done a great job in offering amazing performance at even more amazing prices. The aforementioned unit is probably the most affordable in its category—it is more affordable than several 1/1.2 kW PSUs and one of the best PSUs currently available. It may not have digital control, which would significantly affect its price, but its performance is on par with the scarce digital competition offering tight voltage regulation on all rails, very high efficiency, and ultra-low ripple. Most capacitors are even Japanese, which retain their optimal performance for much longer than Chinese ones, and SF includes an FDB fan instead of a ball-bearings one. The latter is the most common solution for the competition. SF must have done wonders in order to offer this exceptional unit at such a low price; however, their general pricing policy is also very aggressive and one of the reasons SF gained such popularity over the years. A PSU with these features usually sells for more than 250€ in the EU, yet this one costs 50€ less with 19% VAT included, making it a steal if you ask me. SF will simply wipe the competition in the mega-PSU category out if they only manage to make the Leadex Gold 1300 W unit widely available. SF now has the chance to hit this market segment hard, with mining becoming a trend and the demand for incredibly strong PSUs increasing. With the Leadex Gold 1300 W unit to show, they surely deserve every ounce of success for their efforts.

To wrap up, if you need gargantuan amounts of power to feed three or more high-end VGAs along with other power hungry components, the large Leadex unit is your only stop since its price/performance ratio is probably the best in its category. Its close competitor, which is available in the US, is the EVGA G2 1300 W unit; it costs a little more, at least in the EU, where both units are available, has a lower combined capacity bulk caps total, and doesn't sport the FDB fan the SF unit uses. However, EVGA offers a ten years warranty instead of five, and SF's unit unfortunately won't find its way into the US market. SF apparently has an agreement with some companies not to enter the region, but as I already mentioned, you will find their products under other brands there.
