Hey guys

I'm looking at getting the SuperFlower Leadex Platinum 1000W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum" Power Supply - White tonight, any thoughts on this or any better PSU's minimum 1000W ideal 1200W around this price?

What's it going to be powering?

I will be adding a second GFX card, the same as above, more fans plus just having the available power for next year when I plan a full rebuild.

You could easily get away with a 750-850W quality unit

EVGA G2, the SuperFlower HX 750W modular (G2 is based on the SuperFlower Leadex but without the LEDs and a 10 year warranty), unless you specifically want a white PSU?

 

[dacads]

Quality 850w would do the job

Well I currently am OCing at 4.2 (Sorry for got to mention in first post), would there be any advantage in speed at any of the suggested Watts?

 

[ShivP]

Nope, your PSU doesn't affect performance unless of course it blows up

Nope

Any quality 850w unit would be ideal,would be able to handle 2 high end GPU's aswell if you went for high end cards for you new build next year.

Thanks. I'll have a peek at some 850s now and reply with the winner

 

[MrMD]

No probs,the SF leadex PSU's are great btw

 

[Sauced Apples]

I've just been looking at one.

A little gutted they don't light up like the 1000W

You mean the PSU connectors? They do m8,i have the 750w model

 

[Sauced Apples]

What?!?!

I'm sure that's not mentioned in the description. Time to check again haha

 

[MrMD]

Its a a standard feature on all the SF leadex PSU's.

Deffo has them

Got the black platinum 1000w model here, top quality psu and very quiet. Spec in sig I'm seeing a power draw at the wall of 630w when gaming.

 

[Sauced Apples]

Thanks guys.

Wasn't in the description but was in the picture I missed haha.

A lot of praise for the SF so I just ordered the SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 850W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black

Also I couldn't help myself, a new mug for work too!
