I have the 1000W version, its been great. Downside is the very high quality ball bearing fan is also somewhat noisy (if you have a very quiet system) but the switch for Hybrid mode solves that. I never hear it come on anymore (7800x3D/4090).

I paid $180 or so a year and a half ago.
 
As much as I would hate subscribing to another service, at least this one is free. I can totally see them using it to try to spring paid membership on people later. Great price, unfortunately physically too big for my needs.

They had a paid one awhile back that was sunsetted.

Yea it was called Newegg Premier: https://www.newegg.com/neweggpremier

I think it was similar to Amazon Prime where it was like $99 a year or $10 a month but they didn't run the service for very long.

Anyone who takes advantage of this deal just be careful. Newegg+ is free right now but I have no idea what Newegg's end game is here. If this becomes a paid service and they try to automatically enroll people who signed up for it, I'm sure they will communicate this beforehand so just be on the lookout and cancel your "free" membership beforehand.
 
Amazing price for a PSU that will probably last anyone for as long as ATX desktop PCs continue to exist.
yeah the new 10 year warrranties seasonic, nzxt and superflower are offering are pretty ballsy, im sure atx desktop pc's will be around then, how else will i get 500fps on my 16k 600hz quantam microdot oled monitor?
 
This went up from $144.99 to $159.99, but still includes the 3 free fans. Still a pretty good deal and worth it for someone looking for a PSU.
 
Super Flower is one of the best OEMs out there, up there with Seasonic.
Yeah for sure. They were actually the OEM of many high quality PSUs from the likes of EVGA and Rosewill (probably others too) in the past.

They are somewhat newer (~2020ish???) to actually selling power supplies under the name Super Flower (in North America at least). But with a 10 year warranty and 80+ Platinum certification, can't really go wrong with this model. I bet the included 120mm fans are decent too.

Yup. The EVGA in my sig that I'm using in my gaming PC is a rebranded Super Flower unit. They primarily sold to the SEA and ME regions under their own branding before expanding.

10 year PSU warranties have been around since at least 2011, so they're nothing new. It's practically standard for high quality PSUs.
 
I have the 1300w Superflower gold which is the prior version of the 1200 platinum that when pushed pushed to a 1,300 watt power delivery dropped to a gold rating. Overall it has been very good with the exception of the PSU's inbuilt fan. Leave that on "eco" silent as the fan's noise profile is exceptionally annoying. Another thing to be aware of is that unlike some of my prior PSUs, when plugged into my Cyberpower UPS, the displayed current draw at idle rather than remaining within about 3-5 watt range seems to bounce around a 20-40 watt range although under even 1-ish percent or greater CPU load that variance disappears.

The three pack of fans look like a hybrid knockoff of the Phantek T30s with the nine blades of a Nidec Gentle Typhoon.

I have the 1000w one also and it is silent when switched to silent mode. It does get loud when it is not.
 
Never heard of Super Flow. I would just stick to one of the big three if I were you:

1. Corsair
2. Seasonic
3. EVGA

FYI, SF is a large OEM that produces power supplies for other brands that's don't manufacturer their own. Notably many of EVGA's top units. Corsair produces nothing of their own either.

SF is a go-to because they are known to make a quality unit.

I had to use the code tags to keep it from embedding (if anyone knows a more suitable way to keep google docs links from embedding i'm all ears). Check the OEM column.
 
I remember using SF units since the P4/s939 days. I've got the 850 flavor. Excellent unit and since now I haven't heard the fan spin up.

Corsair can be hit or miss. Most notoriously was the original CX430, which was vastly inferior to and more expensive than the CX400 it replaced. Corsair does not manufacture their own PSUs.

EVGA should not be considered for any product at this point in time. The sooner people stop buying them, the better. Even when they were at their greatest, like Corsair, they had their good and mediocre product lines.

Seasonic and SuperFlower (and whatever product lines use them) can be considered rarely mid tier at worst, are generally good tier, and dominate top tier. FSP and CWT are generally more mid tier and good tier, though an occasional model makes it into crap and top tier. Other OEMs are generally a mixed bag of crap and mid tier, making it important to do proper research on not just the OEM, but which OEM model.
