New launch but the aus price is mysteriously a lot cheaper than the US msrp, seems to have nice features and from a well known OEM (they used to be the oem for evga PSUs rip)

nobody:
me: Super Flower Zillion FG Gold ATX3.1 PCIe5.1 PSU 1250W
Wife: We need to talk about our marriage.
This PSU seems to be announced 8 days ago.
The Super Flower Leadex line-up was exceptionally well received.
The 850W version of that is available on PCCasegear for $200.
Assuming similar quality between the two, this is quite the deal.
One has a 7 year warranty, and one a 10 year. Definitely a difference.
But superflower is definitely known for making good self-branded products.
Leadex uses Japanese capacitors and a 140mm fan. Zillion uses Taiwanese capacitors and a 120mm fan. It's like comparing a Corsair RMx PSU to a Corsair RMe PSU. Same difference in fan size, capacitors and warranty duration.
The new leadex model is $50 more, however it seems like the 7 year warranty is standard now
https://www.pccasegear.com/products/67018/super-flower-leade…Wow, and some like this Leadex III lists only 5 years warranty! So inconsistent.
https://www.pccasegear.com/products/47169/super-flower-leade…The Leadex VII still has a 10 year warranty.
Oh well, Super Flower is still about half the price of other brands (some who source from Super Flower) who offer the 10 year warranty. So if the design and components are good, then we would be sacrificing 3 years warranty for half the price.
Great price. Currently 150USD on Newegg for the 1250W
AHH I already have a EVGA Supernova but it's only 850w…. tough decision
Dam - my Supernova is only 750W. Maybe that's a good enough reason to buy this.
Yeah could do - my desired build (pending sales) will be a 7800x3d and 4080 super which shouldn't really bother my 850w with peripherals anyway… but damn this is so tempting still
If you buy a new PSU you'll end upgrading your entire system to justify the new PSU.
Hi, a recent AMD CPU deal victim here. Twice. First one is 5700x $190 and the second one was 5900x for $330.
What a deal! I saved about $200-300
And spent about $1500 so far on “servers/nas”
WHAT A DEAL!
I'm more of a budget builder so I don't track power draw of a maxed out system but are consumer level 4090 machines really pulling close to 1200?
Short answer, no
Long answer, also no.
Maybe a 4090 with power slider right up, a 14900ks going balls to the wall might hit 950ish.
What about 2x 4090s in SLI config?
As mentioned, the RTX 4090 doesn't draw close to anywhere that level. However you may want to consider a different perspective. We normally look at total system consumption which includes CPU, motherboard, peripherals, etc. If you do your research on power supplies, they generally have a sweet spot where it has the highest power efficiency (typically between 70-85% load) and best thermal efficiency where the fan doesn't kick in.
By planning your expected total power draw for a given work task, your PSU will be at its most efficient state and being quiet at the same time. So you shouldn't buy a PSU based on where is your current draw (power budget) but also some headroom (for the reasons mentioned above).
1kw gaming builds will become more common. I think something will need to change. Arm chips may take dominance and tip the scales
if you use r/pcmr as your news source you might think thats true
Think I will wait for the reviews rather. Can't stand noisy components.
The only thing different from their previous PSUs is this
- 105°C Taiwanese Full Capacitor
while most of their other PSUs uses Japanese capacitors.
Thanks, bought 2 for the new 5090
Super Flower are good but they need to do something about their local distribution
The shorter 7 year warranty versus 10 years on other A tier PSU's is already an issue
But the biggest issue is PCCG being the exclusive Australian distributor - if they have any issues in the next 7 years, have fun dealing with the Taiwan head office on any warranty claims
Just hassle PCCG if you have any problems
Just asking cause I thought they were okay, is PCCG not doing well or something?
They've had a couple of major management changes since the pandemic
Others can comment on recent warranty support
Phanteks and Super Flower are 2 of the more popular brands that are PCCG exclusive in Australia
Wiggle?
Yeah!
Are there any power supplies that come with fully sleeved cables that actually look good?
Ive seen lian edge psu's seem to be the only one but they still look like shit
I think Asus Rog, NZXT C, and Corsair sf are all sleeved.
Just use extension cable.
How about the ASUS ROG Thor / Loki ?
Come with? Nah, most of them are plastic but pretend to be sleeved these days but Corsair has proper sleeved cable packs you can buy, but they're like half the cost of the PSU on top. I think ASUS ROG has some PSUs with sleeved cables, but they run expensive too. Corsair SF (SFX line) PSUs have sleeved cables but it can be awkward in an ATX case as they're a bit shorter than normal cables, but they're probably the most cost effective. It's pretty rare these days to find proper sleeved cables, I dunno they just went out of style, but IMO I love them, but probably novice builders don't like them as they can get tangled.
Any reviews?
As long as it's specced good what's the matter if it's Taiwanese caps instead of Japanese? iPhones are made in china, gentlemen.
Iphone are ASSEMBLED in China, their parts come from everywhere: US, Europe, Taiwan, Korea….. While we talk about Taiwan vs Japan caps, it means they are caps from that country, not sourcing from somewhere else.
That's what I'm saying just because it's made in X country doesn't mean much. China, Taiwan and Japan all have the capability to make high quality caps. And just because it's Japanese doesn't mean it's high quality
Jap caps usually refers to 3 specific brands: chemicon, rubycon, nichicon (or 5 incl panasonic and sanyo). I believe their manufacturing plants are in Japan, but it wouldn't matter if it were in China or Taiwan, since it's these specific Japanese brands that people trust.
Review teardowns will show whether these are used or something else.
Hypothetically, a japanese made cap not of the above brands advertised as using Japanese capacitors is, despite being "true", somewhat false advertising, since people who pay attention to caps will treat Japanese capacitors as synonymous with the brands mentioned above (irrespective of the country of manufacturing plant). An example is Fujitsu, which is Japanese, but at around Teapo quality.
These brands are historically significantly better than other brands.
And for psu, cap quality is the #1 factor in determining its quality/longevity.
Teapo (and Capxon) is Taiwanese and despite its improvements in the last several decades, is still significantly inferior to the above 3 brands (IF they've improved their manufacturing processes recently, it will take time before its reflected in the data).
Don't even talk about Chinese (If we include HK - Samxon). Last I checked, Samxon is well inferior to Teapo and Capxon, and is one of the better known Chinese brands.
Have a read at badcaps net.
Back in the 80's if you had something "Made in Taiwan" you expected it to not last as long as stuff made in Europe/US/Japan. These days, made in Taiwan is a selling point, particularly for tools and electronics.
Anyone know if the 850w version is decent value at $149, im looking at replacing my rm550x as im having regular black screens bsods (5700xt)? https://www.pccasegear.com/products/67023/super-flower-zilli…
The value can't be judged because there's been no proper reviews
If you need a a replacement now, the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 850W @ Umart/MSY for $139 is cheaper and well reviewed
Also has a 10 year warranty
No dedicated 16-pin 12VHPWR like the MSI MEG has
12vhpwr is spooky, better to find an atx 3.1 or a newer 3.0 PSU with 12v-2x6
Isn't that 12+4? It's included
Thats a good thing, less points of failure. Aris of HWBusters and Cybenetics believes 2x8 pin connector to a 12V-2x6 connector is best because the connector on the PSU can also be a point of failure.
Must admit I heard nothing but good things about this maker. Except this is overkill for my need.
