The Super Flower Leadex GOLD 650watt power is exactly what it says on the tin; a 650watt 80 PLUS gold efficiency rated power supply. What sets it apart from the rest however is the fully modular design and of course the aforementioned white LED lighting on the connectors in which the modular cables plug into.
As you can see this particular model is all-black and although this model is the 650watt version, Super Flower does the Leadex GOLD in units up to 1300watt in total; something for everyone’s needs. The Leadex GOLD 650watt is 200mm long so will fit in most cases and conforms to the ATX size specifications; the full dimensions are 200x150x86mm (LxWxH). Not the largest power supply in its class but certainly not the smallest! The Super Flower logo and signature butterfly are embossed on the side of the unit and personally I think it’s quite subtle; not as aggressive as some power supplies can be with their logo.
One of the main and most interesting features about the Leadex GOLD is it has 2 available modes; ECO and Auto. This is in reference to the cooling of the unit which is provided by 1 x 140mm fan but the kicker is, ECO literally turns the Leadex GOLD into a passive power supply and is basically inaudible while remaining well under the thermal limits of the components inside. Auto as you have probably guessed by now is the mode where the fan “spins”.
The other side contains the sticker which has information pertaining to amperage and the different lines, rated wattage and of course a mention about the automatic voltage switching which is imperative if you plan to travel the world with this power supply; unlikely but the option is there!
As mentioned the Leadex GOLD has a 140mm fan to help cool the components inside, the design here implements a very nicely designed octagon shaped pattern with a silver badge with Super Flower in the middle; personally it would look better without it but that’s just me being picky!
At the rear of the Leadex GOLD, we have the clear panel connectors which contain white LED’s; these activate when one of the included modular cables is plugged in and is probably one of a kind for a manufacturer to do this. There is also the Super Flower butterfly and a guide to which cable goes where; not hard to tell if you look carefully but a nice touch nevertheless.
Here is an image which shows the illumination of the rear panel when cables are plugged in; to give it effect I had a red LED shine on it just so you could see how predominant and visible the white LED illumination is.
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 😀
