Are XFX PSU's any good?

Alec Bramlett · Dec 21, 2014

I am looking for a new PSU and found an XFX 750w on sale. Ive heard that they are actually made by Seasonic, which is a good brand. Is XFX a trustable,reliable brand or should I stay clear. The reviews seemed promising.
Here is a link to the PSU

Yes, they rebrand very good quality PSU's.

das_stig :

Do they mark-up the price any or is it the same as the Seasonic equivalent

ko888 · Dec 21, 2014

They are generally cheaper than the equivalent Seasonic retail models.

The main complaint about XFX is the poor customer service.

Alec Bramlett · Dec 21, 2014

Is the model I quoted worth a purchase at the sale price or are there better PSU's at that price range and wattage

Hi,

I have the 850w version of that psu and it is a good solid psu,the main grumble on these units are the fans bearings they run dry and its hard to get a replacement fan for them as they are 135mm but you can buy the bearings online or you can take psu apart and oil them yearly which should stop the problem. With the rebates that a good price.

Just had a look if I needed a psu I would give it serious consideration as that`s £35-45 cheaper then the seasonic model,Who makes it for them?

ko888 · Dec 21, 2014

Super Flower is the OEM for the EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G2 220-G2-0750-XR.

In terms of its electrical performance it is equivalent or slightly better than Seasonic's X-Series X-750.

I read the reviews and looked it up on amazon and they have the 850w version for about the same as they were selling xfx850w version in the summer,it`s gold rated and modular,makes it a no brainer if you can stretch to £94.99

If he's on a budget,seeing that he's looking at sales,could he also look at this one if he can buy from U.S. sites,

As other's said, seasonic makes the xfx psu's. Most of the name brand companies people are familiar with for other components, antec, xfx, etc are rebadged. They don't make their own psu's.

Here's a fairly comprehensive list of brand names and actual manufacturers. You just have to be diligent in searching it out since some models change manufacturer from one wattage to another in the same line and others a slight difference like g1 or g2 can designate different manufacturers.
