Super Flower Leadex VII XG 1000W 80+ Gold, Cybenetics Platinum, Full Modular, ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1, W/12VHPWR Cable (2x8pin - 16pin native cables) , Power Supply, FDB Fan, SF-1000F14XG, Black version

Pros: Quality feel throughout Stable , cool, and quiet Super Flower Leadex architecture track record

Cons: No ancient molex connector/converter... as for some reason even my modern case needs one for some led lights or something. Hard to say its a con really, should be a con to the case!

Overall Review: I've been a Super Flower PSU customer for many years. I have deviated to a EVGA unit (build by super flower) , and also way way back in the day PC power & cooling. I have to say that the SF units have been ultra reliable during my many years of usage with some of their PSU's running in home servers non stop for years only to be replaced for upsizing or modernizing connectors. I purchased this latest Leadex VII to feed my new Radeon 7900XTX coupled with a 5800X3D cpu. I think it is barley getting a workout. even with the GPU taking upper 400W's at times. So far running cool and quiet as my case fans are louder when the system is under load playing a demanding game. The cables don't have any fancy looming which actually was welcoming due to increased flexibility and having an easier time hiding them in the case cable management nooks and crannies. I look forward to many years of service!

Most Critical Review

Good memory

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9Q-16GBRL
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9Q-16GBRL

Pros: Works great as an affordable kit. Using it for an AMD hex core build for my vmware workstation test box.

Cons: First set was bad. Windows took 3 times to install, then once in there were random crashes. I ran Memtest86 on the box, and it found multiple errors with the ram. Replacement set is spot on and working great.

Overall Review: Egg was super fast turning around the replacement set, thanks!

Fast and stable

SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card 11322-02-20G
SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card 11322-02-20G

Pros: The card rocks at raster.

Cons: I miss nvidia ansel

Overall Review: Working blazing fast in my x470 / 5800x3d system. Was an upgrade from 3080. The support arm bracket is a nice touch. Amd gpu software is nicer than nvidia nowadays.

Fantastic home server board

ASRock X99 Extreme4 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock X99 Extreme4 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: 128GB of ECC ram support with E5 Xeons! E5 Xeon support with 2011-v3! No problems with ram or E5 Xeon support (using a 2620v4). Ram is Hynix based generic ECC DDR4 ram kit using 16GB modules. Has been absolutely solid from its first power-up, ~2 weeks of 24/7 operation now. M.2 NVME support is great. BIOS is easy to use and didnt need tweaking to get up and running. Plenty of fan headers My 3rd Asrock board so far, still using a 3+ year old in my main gaming pc and still going strong. I also have an embedded J1900 cpu based Asrock mobo for my pfsense firewall compy. I'm a convert from Asus.

Cons: none, doesn't get me beer when asked?

Overall Review: I'm using this as a Proxmox hypervisor dist home server platform. I'm using an LSI 9210-8i internal SAS/SATA raid card I picked up off of "an online auction forum" to turn some refurbished hitatchi 2/3TB enterprise drives and a Ironwolf 4TB seagate drive. I'm also using an Intel M.2 NVME 513GB SSD with the mobo. Using 64GB ECC ram via a generic Hynix based kit. Not much to say, the board works and does what it is supposed to do in a very stable way. All I can ask for in a server platform. I can't speak to its gaming/OC/etc performance as I don't use it for that.

Nice machine

Pros: Great build quality, easy to work on, VESA back mounting on monitor, quiet, great performance for general computing, USB 3.0.

Cons: WiFi reception is not that great, I wish it had an external antenna connector.

Overall Review: Using with Win8.1. No problems at all. Built with 8GB ram, and a 120GB Agility 2 SSD. Results in snappy performance and fast booting.

great for the money

SAMSUNG 23" TN LCD Monitor 5ms (GTG) D-Sub, HDMI, Audio Out S23C350H
SAMSUNG 23" TN LCD Monitor 5ms (GTG) D-Sub, HDMI, Audio Out S23C350H

Pros: Thin, great brightness, nice colors, sharp picture.

Cons: Not as nice as IPS, obvious image shifting if viewing from sides/top/bottom.

Overall Review: Its fine if you work right in front of the monitor, if you need more viewing angle, I'd look elsewhere.
