Lian Li Debuts SFX-L PE-550 and PE-750 SFF Power Supplies

Lian Li has (rather unexpectedly) announced a pair of SFX-L power supplies, with the PE-550 and PE-750 small form-factor PSUs.

SFX-L is the slightly longer (hence the "L") version of SFX, and permits more powerful designs and larger, quieter fans than standard SFX. Of the two new models from Lian Li the PE-550 is an 80 Plus Gold PSU rated at 550W, and the PE-750 is an 80 Plus Platinum model boasting a whopping 750W from this tiny form-factor.

Lian Li has doubtless contracted the manufacture of these PSUs, as the post on SFF Network has concluded: "The 550W at least is from Enhance according to the UL number and the possibly the 750W based on the heatsink design."

The 750W model now bests SilverStone in the SFX power category, eclipsing their 700W SFX-L model shown at CES this year (and which is still not listed on their site). Just why anyone would need 750W for what would presumably be a mini-ITX system (limited as mITX motherboards are, with only one PCI Express x16 slot); but the benefits of SFX are certainly appreciated the moment one begins working inside of an enclosure such as the NCASE M1.

Nice....

made by which OEM factory?

Stated above

Omg! By Enhance!

Sadly still ugly from the outside and still no sleeved cables. Lol.

But really, what is inside matters most.

 

[jedi5diah]

who would sleeve in small compact windowless cases???

 

[OmegaSupreme]

How much?

 

[mnemo_05]

interested on this, waiting for the price

Now they just need to make cases that can use them

Although, looking at the size of all lian li cases, one might wonder why they cannot just use ATX PSU

very true Lian Li cases are not space efficient at all. WhenI received my PQ12 I was like wtf.... It's so tall and.... They didn't even fit a half height expansion slot in

Could have been better if they implement their signature brushed accent aluminium chassis on the outside to complement their PC chassis.
