Is Super Flower considered a decent PSU manufacturer?

I`ve had one for 3 years in a 3700x/5700xt rig with no problems, its a leadex III 750w 80 plus gold, upgrading to a 3800x3d/6900xt will it do the job?
Super Flower the name is a bit naff.

Super Flower is one of the top tier manufacturers. 5800X3D and a 6900XT should be fine with a 750W, especially since you're using a high quality unit.

Yes. One of the best manufacturers.

Cool thanks for the reassurance

It's not so weird sounding in Taiwan

The Leadex series are excellent PSU's although they have shorter warranties compared to their rivals (7 years compared to the likes of Corsair, Seasonic, Phanteks 10 years). The Golden Green HX are nowhere near as good though and personally I wouldn't buy one of those myself.

EVGA are also a good manufacturer.

Don't like the name :cry:

EVGA don't make any PSU's. They used to use Superflower on their higher end units along with several other OEM's but they have terminated the deal with Superflower. The 850 G6 is a Seasonic unit based on a modified Focus platform.

Hi my Leadex III 750w psu only has 2 gpu outlets but my new Phantom Gaming D 6900x has 3 inlets, so I have no option but to daisy chain 1 lead, I know it is frowned upon, will it be an issue?

Will be fine the cables are rated to provide enough power.
