The Super Flower Leadex VII PRO 1000W is a high performance power supply, Platinum certified in the Cybenetics scheme. If you are wondering about its performance, read the review to learn more.
The Super Flower Leadex VII PRO 1000W will be included in my best ATX v3.x & PCIe 5.x PSU picks article.
Super Flower is trying hard to enter the retail market business, dropping to a huge degree the OEM market. It is not easy to succeed in the retail business since you have to provide the best possible support, among others. The great asset when you manufacture the products that you sell in retail is that you have the margin to offer better prices while keeping profits at reasonable levels. That said, I remember back when Enermax did quite the opposite: it built its own products but offered them at sky-high prices, which forced its management to eventually shut down its manufacturing line. If you have a small production line is tough to buy parts at good prices, affecting the final prices of the products and making them less appealing, even if they offer good performance.
The Leadex VII Pro line has three members, with 1200W, 1000W, and 850W max power. In this review, I will evaluate the middle member of the line, and I will ask for the strongest one to review as well. The Leadex VII PRO 1000W is Platinum certified in the Cybenetics scheme and has a Cybenetics Standard++ noise rating, meaning that its average noise output is between 30 and 35 dBA. All cables are modular, and probably the most important feature, besides capacity, efficiency, and noise ratings, is the ATX v3.1 compatibility. From the moment the PSU doesn’t use the native 12V-2×6 connector but propriety ones, it automatically gets an upgrade to the ATX v3.1 spec.

Hello, good afternoon!
I have a question, does it matter what the connectors are like on the back of the PSU? This specific one use 9-pin connectors that I have never seen in my life, could it cause me problems? Especially with the 12V 2×6 cable?
In my country I can get one of these, it is at the same price as the MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5, which one is better? (I imagine Superflower).
Thank you so much!
I would go for the SF unit. Its connectors are not a problem, though, only in case you lose its cables.
Τι διαφορά έχει με το XG εκτός των βυσμάτων;
Ελάχιστες. προσωπικά προτιμώ το XG
θα μπορούσατε να μου πείτε από που μπορώ να αγοράσω αυτό το τροφοδοτικό? Προορίζεται για radeon rx 7900xtx και 7800x3d
Δυστυχώς η Super Flower δεν έχει ακόμη distributor στην Ευρώπη. Ρίξε μια ματιά στην Caseking αν το φέρνει.
Hi,
On page 2 (Box & Bundle, Product Photos & Cables), statement “The modular panel around the back hosts thirteen sockets. Since the PSU doesn’t have a native 12V-2×6 socket, it is automatically ATX v3.1 compliant if it meets the ATX v3.0 requirements.” is confusing to me.
This statement confuses me because it reads, this PSU is ATX 3.1 compliant since it does not have 12v-2×6 socket.
it means that any PSU that doesn’t have the native 12V-2×6 but uses 2x 8 pin sockets instead AND meets ATX v3.0 spec requirements, automatically meets the ATX v3.1 specs.
While PSUs with 12VHPWR are NOT since they need the native 12V-2×6. Some brands were smart and used 2x 8 pins (e.g. Corsair, Super Flower) so they didn’t have to make any changes to make their PSUs ATX v3.1 ready.
thank you…I understand now
Hello, could there be an error in the characteristics? What is the correct full-bridge or hall-bridge topology?
thank you and greetings
Hello, will you do the review of the Leadex VII PRO 1200W ATX v3.1, the most powerful of this model?
