My take

The verdict

Super Flower builds power supplies for other brands as well as its own, and the Leadex III line has a strong reputation. This is the ATX 3.1 version with the 12V-2x6 connector, in 650W and 1000W on my list.

So far I can only find hands-on reviews rather than full lab tests. Both found it quiet, with fan modes that keep it silent at lighter loads, and both like the 10-year warranty. Super Flower says it uses Japanese capacitors throughout.

It's a solid choice on paper. Until a full lab review lands, I'd lean towards units with more test data at the same price.

Super Flower Leadex III Gold UP reviews

There's no full lab review of this unit yet. Two hands-on reviews found it quiet and well specified, with a 10-year warranty.

Both labs agree

  • Quiet, with fan modes that keep it silent at lighter loads. VortezFunkyKit
  • Fully modular and ATX 3.1, with a 10-year warranty. VortezFunkyKit

Also worth knowing

  • Tight 12V regulation in Vortez’s testing. Vortez
  • Super Flower says it uses 100% Japanese capacitors, and it carries Cybenetics Platinum efficiency. FunkyKit

Both are hands-on reviews without full lab measurements, so they carry less weight. Vortez tested the 850W model, FunkyKit the 1000W.
