Its low-enough price for a Gold-certified PSU with 1 kW capacity makes the Capstone unit I tested today deliver a pretty high performance/ratio that ranks it above most of its competitors in my relevant graph. Not only is it affordable as it also performs decently overall, comes with excellent ripple suppression, and is covered by a pretty long warranty, which will surely attract many future buyers.

The performance of the previous generation Super Flower platform is admittedly not up to the levels of the contemporary competition, but those units also cost more, so you had better look elsewhere if performance is your primary prerogative. But look no further if you need a reliable PSU with a large warranty, good build quality, and a high performance-per-dollar ratio. This Capstone model won't let you down. Newegg's corresponding product page has a couple users mention problems with the fan where, to be more specific, the fan broke down after only several days of use. Probably due to a bad fan batch, I didn't encounter this problem with my sample, and I really pushed the fan hard. I even ran an extra set of tests where I left the fan to run at full speed and at high ambient temperatures over prolonged periods of time, but it coped just fine. To conclude, taking into account all the above, I strongly believe this PSU to be a good deal for its price, and it really is as simple as that.
