Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads
Efficiency is high on all load ranges, from normal to super-light ones.
Average Efficiency
Is SF sure that this is a Gold unit? Because it is close to the Titanium-rated, be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12. I should note, though, that the latter barely passes the Cybenetics Titanium’s lowest limit of 91% average efficiency at 115V, while it cannot meet the corresponding requirement at 230V.
Average PF
The APFC converter does a decent job at both 115V and 230V.
Average Efficiency 5VSB
The 5VSB rail performs well.
Vampire Power
Vampire power is low.

Hey, is this PSU actually compatible with ATX 3.1? They say it is on their home page but the one the box it still says ATX 3.0
Yes. It is. Old marketing material.
Thank you 🙂
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.
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!
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.
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.
When will the 1300W version be released?
Yes, but I don’t have a schedule from SF on this.
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.
