What’s Included?

Very well packaged which is of course a credit to OCUK as well as Superflower.

Included is the manual, PSU (doh) and cables which come in a nice pouch.

Personally not a fan of the colour coded connectors but it may make it easier for noobies I guess ;)

Installing

So in the image below you can see the cables I’ll need, ready to connect :)

Current cable management as you can see isn't impressive due to the unit being semi-modular, which is part of the reason I have gone fully modular now ;)

Side by side comparison, will be sad seeing the XFX go and it's a bit of a downgrade in terms of wattage going from 850w to 750w. Still 750w is plenty and probably even 50% of that won’t be utilised by my build. Also it will be great having a fully modular unit that is white (future build) and a fan that shouldn't even switch on!

Maybe because of the colour but the finish doesn’t feel as premium as you would expect for the price. But I guess it's what inside that matters when it comes to PSUs and this unit doesn’t disappoint in that aspect. Also the fact that I have a black case probably doesn’t help, my plans are to paint it white or just get a new case :P

Anyway after getting everything connected, I received a nice surprise when I turned on the system, it was the PSU LEDs that I had completely forgot about!

There is a little switch at the back which allows you to change the fan mode to hybrid. I did so and was pleasantly surprised with the drop in noise level. The fan remains passive until 60% load level is reached, so I was unable to test this but apparently even then it is very quiet.


Testing

I'm by no means a professional reviewer so no expensive testing equipment used I'm afraid!

Anyway due to this, the load testing was carried out as part of the normal PC routine i.e a range of games were played but also some applications were used such as prime95 to be a bit more rigorous. I’ve had the PSU for a few months now and everything is running smoothly as expected. Touch wood it keeps going for many moons, nonetheless a 5 year warranty certainly has you covered ;)


Final Verdict

4.5/5

Silent in hybrid mode, fully modular unit with good range of cables and length. No issues with performance, also looks great certainly if planning a white build, it is a market with not many white PSUs. What I can say is that it would be great to see the Leadex Gold range available in white too.

Thanks Chug, I thought it was about time I completed the write-up and posted it :p

And cool I didn't realise, I see they are on pre-order :)
