[section_title title=Packaging & Cables]Packaging & Cables
Power supply packaging is usually pretty standard in terms of size/shape and the Leadex Gold 650watt is no different. Super Flower has gone with a striking re-design of their signature butterfly logo in the centre with the “actual” Super Flower logo in the top left corner. The rated wattage is identified in the bottom left with the 80 PLUS Gold efficiency rating in the top right.
The rear has a different look and features not only a list of features, but the actual specifications of the unit itself. The entire box has a black themed honeycomb armour type look about it and if design of packaging is a sign of things to come for the actual unit, it should do very well indeed.
Upon opening the box, I was greeted with quite a few things. Firstly on the left hand side we have a Super Flower bag which keeps all the modular cables nice and tidy; how many people have misplaced a modular PSU cables in their lives? I know I have! On the top we also have an instruction leaflet and 4 x thumbscrews for installation into your chassis of choice.
After taking all the gubbins out of the box, we are left with the main PSU unit itself which is entombed in a wall of strong tough foam and wrapped in a white cloth bag; when the cable bag is in place there is no way the unit is moving during transit.
As the Super Flower Leadex is fully modular, the packaging also includes cables (didn’t you see the nifty carry bag?) which includes:
– 1x 20+4-Pin ATX12V/EPS12V
– 1x 8-Pin EPS12V
– 1x 4+4-Pin ATX12V/EPS12V
– 4x 6+2-Pin-PCIe
– 10x SATA
– 5 x 4-Pin-Molex
– 1x Floppy
There are plenty of cables inside the box and plenty of peripheral power cables for those with lots of HDDs/SSDs and devices like sound cards etc. There are also enough connectors to run a SLI/CF configuration and although the PSU is only 650w, with the new NVIDIA Maxwell GPU’s you could potentially be ok; don’t expect to run a fully overclocked AMD R9 290x on full blast though!
The cables themselves have a very nice flexi-braid on them and as you can see by the illustration, the ends have a clear plastic design as the Leadex lights up when with the cables inserted; a revolution in power supply design in my opinion!
5V = 4.75V-5.25V is acceptable
Load
5V = 5.281v
*** Not Acceptable FAIL!! =5.62% instead of 5%
Is this how your mbrilliant test mythology shows up in concrete!
Unlesss there are a logically possible typin error in there, that could and should be a possibility as the variance with 3,3 and 12v were between 1 or 2% it seems like the result should be 5,128 most likely :(after all anything between these two numbers if the psu don’t change the measurologial errorpattern of itself from the 3,3and 12v and why should when the 5is in the middle of them minimum possible answer5,122…5,143maximum possible answer if the pattern is linear and the error stays in 0,003…0,007% misses and wichis exactly: 0,0041% for 5,128 THAT IS ALMOST A MATHEMATHICAL IMPOSSIBILITY AND INT HE NAME OF GREAT LOGIC MY XEON-BRAINS HAVE STATED THAT THIS HYPOTETHIC DEFINITION IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH) instead of 5,281 – BEING THE WRONG NUMBER WHAT SLIPPED INTO PAPER WHILE THE 5,128 still working on in writers core i7 affected heads numeric capabilities altered mind when doing this review steps further..
How would you like to have this kind of mentalist copywriter?
This is what I call T10-Dictionary
Hello and thanks for your comment! Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I went back and checked the testing data and I have altered the results accordingly. It seems our proofreader missed this too, which is why it has gone un-noticed! Sorry for blowing your brains though 😀
