Despite the high capacity and compact dimensions, the PCB has enough clearance between its components to allow for good airflow. The design differs from the Leadex V Platinum 1000 I reviewed about a year ago at Tom’s Hardware. The only heatsink resides on the primary side, hosting the bridge rectifiers and the APFC converter’s parts. The main FETs, installed in a full-bridge topology, are on a vertical board before the AC receptacle. A metallic shield is installed on the same board, with a dual role, cooling down the PCB and reducing EMI emissions.
The 12V FETs are on two vertical boards to save space, and the VRMs handling the minor rails are on the PCB. Usually, the VRMs are on daughter boards and, in some cases, on the modular PCB, but SF chose this way to minimize energy losses. The build quality is high. SF used quality parts, including Infineon FETs and Chemi-Con capacitors. I am not sure about the cooling fan because I haven’t met this brand before. From my experience, it looks to be of lower quality compared to Hong Hua’s corresponding products.
it looks good. Thanks
Why no inclusion of other atx 3 psus you tested like Msi etc? This doesn’t seem best way to inform users
Different categories, the MSI unit I reviewed is digital and more expensive. I also try to keep the graphs small enough for mobile browsing. I can input 200x PSUs if I wanted, but the graphs wouldn’t be usable.
Great Reviews..I have looked at almost all of them trying to learn and assume what certain things mean. Straight power 12 850 watt , seasonic vertex 850 watt, and either of those two models in 1000 watts. I hope you review. Trying to figure out which one is best. Either way great info sir.
Thank you! I will review these in time. The lab’s move cost me lots of time unfortunately.
Is there any information when this PSU will be released in Europe?
is the 850w version also full-bridge?
is the 850w version full-bridge too?
Don’t remember sorry.
Hi! I just bought a superflower leadex vii 850w xg. Was wondering where do the 2 small cables from the 12VHPWR cable connect into the 2×8 ( which is actually 6 pins). Have not been able to trace these small cables.
Thank you
you mean Sense cables? You don’t need to worry about them.
Hey Aris im Stuck between the Seasonic GX-850 ATX3.0 , RMX shift 850 and the Super flower VII which unit would you purchase personally?
Super Flower one
Hey , would you recommend Asus Rog Strix 1000G Aura Gaming? I can’t find a review about it but it is on your comparison chart.I am torn between Super Flower Leadex VII GOLD ,Asus Rog Strix Aura Gaming and Seasonic Vertex GX – which one would you choose?
It is a very good PSU, according to my test data.
is the Super Flower Leadex VII Gold is atx 3.1 compliant because the platinum pro version is not yet available in canada
Yes, it is.
I am currently building my new rig Based on AMD team with ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi, Ryzen 7 7700, ASRock RX 7900 GRE Steel Legend OC. And for the PSU i am skeptical and i was wandering if the Super Flower Leadex VII XG 850W has the same Japanese caps like the 1000 watt sibling. Is it worth the 150 Euros that they ask? Thanks
Most likely it does, yes.
I might also stretch my budget +20 euros more and get the Super Flower Leadex VII XG 1000W that was reviewed here and call it a day? Or it will be an overkill for my rig? Thanks!
