Super Flower Leadex III 1300W ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Box & Bundle

The big box offers good protection to its contents. The face of the box has a photo of the PSU, and strangely enough, Super Flower didn’t utilize the Cybenetics badges, although they are available for this model. The bundle includes the necessary modular cables, the AC power cord, and the user’s manual.

Product Photos

The dimensions of this 1300W unit are small, with only 150mm depth. Moreover, the top and front sides have perforations for better airflow. The big label takes up a big part of its bottom side, and again, I only see the 80 PLUS badge and not the Cybenetics ones. Shame to you, Super Flower! But I get it—it takes time to get out of a bad relationship and forget it! Around the back, the back, you will find 13x sockets, including a native 12V-2×6. There is also space for a second 12V-2×6 socket left empty. Apparently, the same modular PCB is used by a higher-wattage unit; hence its support for a pair of 12V-2×6 sockets. Moreover, there wasn’t much space available, so SF had to go with the native 12V-2×6 sockets instead of pairs of 8-pin ones.

Cables

Modular Cables
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 20+4 pin (595mm) 1 1 16-20AWG No
4+4 pin EPS12V (700mm) 2 2 18AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (700mm) 4 4 16AWG No
12+4 pin PCIe (700mm) (600W) 1 1 16-24AWG No
SATA (555mm+130mm+130mm+130mm) 2 8 18AWG No
4-pin Molex (550mm+150mm+150mm+150mm) 1 4 18AWG No
AC Power Cord (1350mm) – C13 coupler 1 1 18AWG

The PSU comes with a satisfactory number of cables and connectors, including two EPS, four “standard” PCIe cables, and a 12V-2×6, which can deliver up to 600W, thanks to the PSU’s corresponding setting. The number of peripheral cables is also adequate; the same goes for cable length. My only objection is that the SATA connectors don’t have at least a 150mm distance between them.
