Cable length on Superflower modular PSU

Jaridan · 19 May 2015 at 19:52

Ive just bought a SuperFlower Leadex Platinum 1000W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum" Power Supply, which i will be installing into my Antec P280 case along with my gigabyte Z77X-UD5H motherboard.
My main concern is the length of the cables running from the Psu as the old Corsair cables from TX650 required some creative routing to work......
Can anyone using one of the Superflower psus tell me if they are decent length?
And are they as quiet as people say?

Thanks Stulid, that's pretty impressive judging from that video.
Still cant get my head around the fan not spinning up, its been a while since i've had to buy a psu.

Ive changed my graphics card from a GTX770 to a EVGA GTX 980 sc and have had nothing but trouble ever since with games freezing, various graphics driver has recovered from.. messages etc.
I haven't reformatted yet as id like to leave that as a last resort or until i get some new drives.. But anyway the new psu is a future proof idea as i may grab another 980 when i get the funds together as well.

Thankyou for the reply Dominik, I'll try the things you have suggested, i have lowered the overclock on the card a little using msi afterburner but i'm not hugely confident with overclocking or underclocking hardware so i tend to leave things stock.
The main games effected are The Witcher 3 GTA5 Dying light. I don't seem to have any issues with Arma 3 or any of the other games i'd play. Will i get the older driver version from Nvidias main site?

I'm currently running an I7 2700k overclocked to 4.1ghz with an h100i cooler this has been stable for quite some time and rarely goes above 60c when loaded. The ram is Avexir pc1600 using the xmp profile. It's only since I changed from my Evga 770 sc to the Evga 980 sc that I've had issues. When it is working it's lovely though.

Ok, so i ran the heaven benchmark everything maxed out and let in run in a loop for twenty minutes.
Cpu max temp was 60c on core #2 i kept the standard clock on the 980 and max temp there was 71c no hic ups or problems. Ill run Witcher 3 for a bit and see how that fares.
edit: I ran Witcher 3 and all seemed well until the game froze on me, was able to alt tab out to my other monitor and use task manager to close it.. back to the drawing board
