Super Flower Leadex III 1300W ATX v3.1 PSU Review

The Super Flower Leadex III 1300W is (or will be) included in my best ATX v3.x & PCIe 5.x PSU picks article.

Super Flower continues to have a strong presence in the PSU market, mainly selling under its name and not as an OEM (aka making products for other brands). In today’s review, I will look at the Leadex III 1300W, which offers a high watt-per-dollar ratio thanks to its increased max power and the very good price, which at the time of the review was set at $160. With this amount, you get a Cybenetics Platinum certified PSU, able to handle up to 2600W power spikes. Hence, you won’t face any issues even if you pair it with an NVIDIA RTX 5090 (once it becomes available and, of course, given that you have the money to buy it).

The dimensions of this 1300W unit are small, with only 150mm depth. Moreover, the top and front sides have perforations for better airflow. The big label takes up a big part of its bottom side, and again, I only see the 80 PLUS badge and not the Cybenetics ones.

Shame to you, Super Flower! But I get it—it takes time to get out of a bad relationship and forget it! Around the back, the back, you will find 13x sockets, including a native 12V-2×6. There is also space for a second 12V-2×6 socket left empty. Apparently, the same modular PCB is used by a higher-wattage unit; hence its support for a pair of 12V-2×6 sockets. Moreover, there wasn’t much space available, so SF had to go with the native 12V-2×6 sockets instead of pairs of 8-pin ones.
