thanks for all the replies so far
it is not a matter of if i want long warranty or not, but what is the warranty, esp what is the manufacturer warranty vs local warranty
this is what i am trying to find out to clear confusion, not sure why some cannot understand and focus on want long warranty go other brands
If I read you correctly, it seems that you're worried about whether the stock from certain local sellers come from distro (Tech Dynamic) or from other sources.
Thus, the warranty (source) conundrum
I think quite a few of us here -- including myself -- have shared that SuperFlower PSUs are covered under a 5-year warranty locally with Tech Dynamic.
This is no matter if you buy from Tech Dynamic itself or from authorised resellers. Same logic when you buy a CPU, MoBo, or GPU from SLS stores and then bring back to respective distro.
So, if you're buying from an authorised retailer like Dynacore (in my case), then you shouldn't be worried.
If you really want to be crystal-clear about what you're landing yourself into, then PM the seller to clarify warranty length and RMA source before making your purchase.
If you do decide to buy it from overseas, then I think only a handful (at best) of HWZers can advise you on that.
i was specifically asking for warranty years and
but got bonus with good reviews on the distro as well
and its quite clear that with TD the warranty for superflower will be 5 years but its a pity superflower itself does not have its own manufacturer warranty stated like the big players
Unless you're worried that distros like TD change their warranty support terms after you had already purchased the item, why would this matter if distro like TD is giving you 5-years warranty?
Can't say for sure if it has happened before, but if you want this in writing, email distros after your purchase to confirm their warranty support period so that if anything changes, perhaps you can use that to dispute matters if necessary?
as for this Leadex III Gold seems like not many using this actual model
its good to hear many superflower users but i was hoping for more feedback for this specific model Leadex III Gold and for comments like the psu fan is very loud or can hear whining noise, etc
I think you may have missed my initial post.
You may want to be more specific about the feedback you're looking for besides simply saying:
"Any problems so far and how long been using?"
Anyhow, I've had this PSU for just over a week now.
Looks good. Works Fine. Fan is silent as f*** even when it is turned on (you have the option to opt for Eco Mode performance where the fan doesn't spin).
I bought this on the back of feedback from several forums -- both local like HWZ and overseas -- and while it may be too early to tell, I'd like to think this is a good purchase decision I've made.
the brand already tell it all, yes i own Leadex III Gold.....0 noise.
Reliability? i use 10 years then tell u.
^SF leadex III for 3 years no issue, 0 noise. Hooted from doraemon.
After 10yrs i will feedback with you on the reliability.
Hi TS, I recently bought a SF LeadEx III Gold from Dynacore's FB page two weeks ago -- after reading HWZ feedback on this.
Delivery took a week to get to me in total, even though Dynacore told me it'd take 3 business days max. But, small matter because 1 week delivery in ** Covid period is understandable and still bearable.
Dynacore's
listing says it has 5-years local warranty:
It's a good PSU -- you should go for it.
as mentioned by many even for big brands like corsair there are cases of failure but i presume is not for all models as some are pretty stable
this can be said for some evga models as well where there were issues
to add on
with online purchasing there are things like vouchers and coupons discounts and validity
so it becomes very messy to have to compare sellers on different online platforms and keep reading the fine prints to make sure the warranty is there or the distro is so and so and using the vouchers
if there is manufacturer warranty backing then can avoid all these hassle and be confident of the purchase
I think this is covered quite extensively throughout the thread already.
As for leadex III, it can be compared with Seasonic Focus Plus GX series. Both can be considered as very similar. Perhaps the only reason that not many uses Leadex is because not many know about Superflower. Most ppl know Seasonic, Corsair, etc. Reason is that SF used to just do OEM for other brands, then they started to come up with their own psu that has very good quality and can fight the top dogs.
Also, i believe each manufacturer would have an internal agreement with distro carrying their products, on the RMA procedures, warranty, etc. So, the manufacturer will still refer you back to local distro once they view your receipt.
3 pages people been telling u.....
Lols
They're a reseller with TD stock. I actually can't recall exactly which seller on lzd I got my SF Leadex from, just that the box had a TD sticker, and I registered the warranty with TD.
