Super Flower Intros First-to-Market 80 Plus Platinum Modular PSU
PSU OEM Super Flower became the first to market an 80 Plus Platinum certified modular power supply unit (PSU), the SF-550P14PE. An 80 Plus Platinum certified PSU delivers power with 92% of typical efficiency. Further, its fan controller is programmed to run the fan only if the internal temperatures cross 65~70°C. If temperatures are below that, the fan stays off. The company displayed a 550W model, a 650W model (SF-650P14PE) is also in the works.
The PSU makes use of a single 12V rail design, with a single 45.5A rail. The PSU is ATX v2.3 & EPS12V v2.92 compliant, and features modular cabling. The 24-pin ATX, 4+4 pin EPS, and two PCI-E (6 pin and 8 pin) are fixed, two additional PCI-E power connectors (6 pin and 8 pin) can be connected, apart from a number of SATA, Molex, and Floppy connectors. Key connectors such as PCI-E have REMI-cores to reduce EMI. The company has just started marketing these in Eastern markets, it remains to be seen when and if these will make it to Europe and US.

And no signs of flowers whatsoever anywhere, only butterflies...
At the end the Chinese superpower has a superflower, and that is good. Bravo, cheers!
And we have stupid brand names like microsoft, appel or mercedes, we have a lot to learn!
Super Flower used to be a mid-high level brand here but then, for some reason, their products stopped selling. They used to make good quality chassis, accessories and PSUs. I can still find their fan controllers, but it's still very rare.
Nothing, for now. If they do manage a 95%+ efficient PSU, it will probably be 80+ Diamond. I can't imagine it going any higher than that.
98+ efficient. 80+ Diamond.
100% efficient. 80+ Faked.
Still, if you take a second, and free yourself from nearly 1 century of Mercedes publicity, it is an odd name, just as lyrical as Flower Power ;).
the first review of this PSU, max efficiency at 220V is 95.66%
:rockout:
This is will be one cool running PSU
