Hold Up Time
Thanks to the good design, the hold-up time is long since the bulk cap is not that large compared to other high-capacity PSUs.
Inrush Current
The inrush current is on the high side with 115V and low with 230V. The same went down with the 1000W model.
Timings
The PSU supports Alternative Low Power Modes. The Power-on time (T1) should be below 100ms, ideally. Again, this was the case in the 1000W model.

Why does it say 12VHPWR connector support but i cant see anyone on the pictures?
It uses 2x 8 pin on the modular panel for the 12VHPWR, which is safer.
When will the 1300W version be released?
Yes, but I don’t have a schedule from SF on this.
For a 4090 build do you recommend this or the 1000w version?
It depends on the CPU that you will use. If you go for a power-hungry CPU, I suggest the 1300W for extra headroom.
Hi Crmaris,
When will this psu be released in eu?
I cant find a good 1200 watt ATX 3.0 psu in europe.
Nothing comes close to this cpu as far as i know. What should i do or buy tom come close to this psu? Im lost. Biggest factor for me is noise and coilwhine.
Kind regards,
Sam
Casecom used to import SF PSUs in Europe. You could send them an email to check.
I needed a high wattage PSU and decided to buy this on Newegg for 185 USD largely based on this review. Many of the 1000W PSU featured on this site was priced 140 USD and often more according to PCpartpickers, so it wasn’t that hard of decision to pay a little extra for this instead.
This is a very goood PSU and the price you got it is also good!
no case is included on the current release of this PSU. I think all PSU’s should come with a case/bag. Feels very cheap to see it in this review but not in the retail release.
Not a reason to avoid but something to note. The cables felt a lot less substantial than a msi 1000w unit I was pulling out (DOA unit being returned). The MSI MPG also had nice sleeved cables while this one had more standard ones with very poor QC on the rubber tape/band wrapped around the 12VHPWR. Glue was allowed to seep and dry from the tape and just made everything look sloppy. Not what someone wants to put in their 3-4k PC.
Hm will talk to Super Flower about the missing case.
