[SOLVED] Help me pick PSU please : Super Flower Leadex 3 650W vs Corsair RM650

[l3eatles2]

Both are in the same tier and also at around the same price. But i have to mention that RM650 gives 10 years warranty while Leadex 3 gives 7 years. So i wonder which one is better from your guys' opinion.

TY!!

RM650 simply because corsairs support is very good incase any troubles occur with your unit.

They're about the same. Go with whichever one is cheaper. If they're the same I'd pick the SF Leadex, but confirm that it is not the old batch that has overcurrent protection problems. Also, 7 years and 10 years doesn't make a difference. Chances are if a PSU survives 7 years, it'll probably run well until 15 years and up.

Couldn’t find more info on this old batch overcurrent protection problem. How do I know if a batch is considered an old batch?

I don't know how to physically distinguish the two either, what I know is that the ARGB version is definitely the new batch. It's a minor problem though, but a problem is still a problem so it's best to avoid them while you can.

I've been looking at those 2 also, see Corsair RM650 mentioned a lot more than Super Flower Leadex 3. Are they really so comparably alike?
