** OcUK EXCLUSIVE: SUPERFLOWER POWER SUPPLIES NOW IN STOCK!! **
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
By the end of December we shall have moved most of our systems from Corsair to this brand, that's how impressed and happy we are with them, we've had samples on test for over a year, they are superb.
Expect to see them in 8 Pack systems too in the future.

I have it, its great.
Can do 600w @ 80+ gold according to the manual or 500w @ 80+ platinum. Only fanless psu that comes with enough pci-e cables for 2 gpu's.
Unlike seasonics fanless units this actually has a proper heatsink.
I do believe it's the best fan less psu on the Market and can power a full on gaming PC even with an R9 290
Like I say exceptional PSU's with immense build quality and if anything over-engineered.
I did some calculating on the enermax psu calc, cpu clocked and gpus at stock I'm around 800w, given both my phantoms are flashed with 350w+ bioses that takes me just over the 1000w mark when clocking.
So the question is would I be better off with the evga/sf 1300w gold or sf 1200w platinum? Time to change out this 6 year old hx1000

Nowdays they're a lot better than Corsair. All of the platforms SF has put out in the past few years are of extremely high quality (Golden Green, Golden King, Leadex). The only PSU's Corsair have that are in the same league are the second gen AX series and the AXi.

The SuperFlower for sure, really its a far far better unit.
I know I keep saying it, but the Superflower's are over-engineered, they could probably call the 1200W models a 1500W at GOLD rating and still be 100% fine.
The SuperFlower 1200W Platinum is pretty untouchable, and our price is very very good. They also delivery huge amount of AMPS on 12v rail too so are a great solution for powerful VGA cards and overclocking.
Like I say we shall be transitioning most of our system range over to these, including 8 Pack models, that is how impressed we are.
Problem for Corsair is, AX series is EOL, big big shame.
The AXi I simply don't rate it, they click and are certainly not quiet at all due to the constant clicking they do in a very demanding rig.
I think it's fair to say that I was disappointed with the last generation of Corsair PSU's, apart from a couple of batch quality issues, the higher end of the AX & HX ranges were all too noisy when compared to their competition. Which is why I'm happy to start rolling out Superflower as a primary PSU supplier for OcUK's system builds.

Gibbo when will you have the 850W in white in stock and how much?

Thanks for the advise, I'll snap up a sf 1200w plat when I get around to my build
Very good value when you consider both the ax1200i and antec hc pro 1200 are both a good £70 more!
8 pack must be impressed if he's dropping hc 1200's in favour for these!!

8 pack is not dropping Antec for his own personal overclocking rigs.
In fact he has requested our new 1300w HCP PSU which is due to launch in a few weeks.
8 pack is continuing to use Antec for his world record attempts.
Gibbo is talking about the 8 pack systems that OcUK sells. They are currently Corsair units. Bit strange that 8 pack uses Antec himself, but his systems are Corsair, maybe SuperFlower afterwards.

Actually you are wrong.
8 Pack is going for a world record today and is using SuperFlower.
Also this is a Superflower thread, please do not try and promote Antec in another brands thread, not the behaviour we expect from a Vendor Rep Lee.

Gibbo, I just wanted to advise of what the situation was.
I know SuperFlower PSU's are good, I have not said anything negative about them or any other decent branded PSU here (i believe the market has room for all brands - seeing UK growth overall for all brands is what is ideal). Lets see 8 pack smash some more world record attempts.
Aplogies if I trod on anybodies toes.

Advice, i got a 290, swapping to a 4770k soon in a Watercooled case, going to be adding another 290 soon, im looking at the Superflower Leadex Gold 1000w PSU, im pretty certain this will be more than enough for Xfire 290s right?
