Super Flower 520w PS

Bugsmasher · 02-14-06, 12:17 PM

I have read before that some of the Super Flower offerings were actually rebranded FPS units although I am unsure if this is one of those units.

Has anyone had any experience with this unit - Superflower 520w Power Supply

This looks like a great deal and I am looking for a PS for my second system.

Anyone have any input on this one?

Superflower has never been OEM Fortron to my knowledge, rather they are OEM Fortrex/Fore Point. A little better than average quality.

Seems they can't do math, its advertised as a triple fan psu, yet they claim if one breaks you have 3 left over, or if two break two are still running. 2+2=1+3=4 fans total. Hooray for math!

Buy rebranded PSU is not a good idea. If you want a rebranded Fortron, look for Aopen. Aopen uses a many of Fortron's PSU but they are about the same price as an actual Fortron. Also not all Aopen are Fortron, you have to look at the model number FSP. If you want a fortron just get a Fortron. The 400W is only around $39.99

Excellent!

Thanks for the input and clarification on this unit. Thanks also for clearing up the Fortrex vs Fortron rebranded question I had.

Most appreciated
