Packaging

The packaging features Super Flower's logo, which is a butterfly. The unit's capacity is given in the bottom-left corner of the front, and the 80 PLUS logo is in the top-right corner, with a 92+ figure on top describing the PSU's efficiency under typical load (50% of its max-rated capacity).


On one side of the box is a table with the unit's most important features. On the other are two stickers that mention the part and serial numbers, along with what various certifications the product meets, including the CE certification essential to any product being sold in the EU.

The CE certification, if legit, means that the PSU meets the ErP Lot 6/3 directives which have to do with standby power consumption and the 5VSB rail's efficiency, and this certification is only given to products that also meet the corresponding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. According to the European Commission, the CE mark certifies that the product meets the EU's health, safety, and environmental requirements that ensure consumer and workplace safety. Every CE mark should be accompanied by the corresponding declaration of conformity certification in order for this product to be imported into the EU zone. The problem here is that getting this certification without any actual proper testing is rather easy for most Chinese (and not only) factories.


Some more features of this product are depicted on this side of the box. The most interesting ones are the Infineon FETs, which are of very high quality, and the DC-DC converters for the generation of the minor rails. Super Flower states that the PSU uses a Japanese bulk cap, which is absolutely true, but it is only rated at 85 °C instead of 105 °C. We would prefer a good Teapo 105 °C bulk cap if a 105 °C rated Japanese bulk cap isn't an option because it is too expensive.

Contents

Only some bubble wrap protects the PSU inside the box. Some packing foam would increase the PSU's protection significantly. The bundle is basic as well since it doesn't include any zip ties or Velcro straps for cable management. Given this is a non-modular unit, you will have to deal with lots of cables, which means at least some zip ties should have been included.

Exterior

A small on/off switch is installed right next to the AC receptacle at the front.


The power specifications label is on one of the PSU's sides, while Super Flower's logo has been stamped into the casing on the other.


A plastic grommet protects the cables from the chassis' edges. The warranty sticker covers one of the top screws, and we removed it in order to take this PSU apart.


The only interesting part of the PSU's external design looks to be the punched-out fan grille. This is an affordable product so don't expect it to look super nice or have a state-of-the-art external design.

Cables

All cables are fully sleeved back into the housing and feature black wires in order to have them pass by unnoticed inside a chassis with a dark interior.


Cable sleeving is nothing extraordinary, but we didn't expect it to be since this is a budget PSU. Should you need better sleeving quality, make a point of looking at a higher price category.
