    Damn, if that's a rebranded Seasonic Focus that's a unbelievably good deal!
    I recently bought a Seasonic Focus Platinum 750 for about $200.
    Seasonic, Delta, and Flower Power make the best quality PSUs. I used to be a fan of Corsair, but they seem to have outsourced all their PSU to third party manufactures

      Flower Power Superflower 😉

      Corsair have always used different OEMs for each PSU model as do most PSU brands. OEM PSU tier list sources & info psucultists

      This is rebranded Seasonic Focus Gold and is not as good as Platinum.
      They are different lines.
      The only thing is if it is worthy paying the difference….

      • Year I know. It's just that I doubt that I'll see any savings from the power efficiency anytime soon, I hardly game, my PC is mostly turned off :(

    • +2

      It's a rebranded Focus Plus, not standard Focus.

      • Yes even though its a rebranded focus plus, it has 1 less 4+4-pin CPU power output….

  • Damn so tempted. Is this better/on-par/worse than Rmx 750 from Corsair?

    • +1

      Both of them are decent. NZXT is newer.

    • +3

      I had an RMx750 that I bought on Amazon for $170, but I returned it after seeing the C750 for $139 a few weeks ago (upping my Ozb points). I notice zero difference in fan noise and operation and if you buy the Corsair you’re basically paying $30 more for no benefit whatsoever. Apparently the manufacturer of this model is Seasonic, who are one of the best PSU manufacturers.

      One thing I dislike about both is that the cables are really bad and stiff for both - if you’re an enthusiast builder you probably already have braided cables but for new builders like me it’s quite annoying.

      • Thank you very much for the comparison! I am upgrading from a 650w bronze PSU have 3070.

        Mainly hoping for a 0rpm fan in most loads and only a quite fan at the very extreme loads if it ever happens. I got really quite case and cpu fans and they are practically silent so i can easily hear the PSU fan

  • Thanks OP… bought the 750watt version.

  • +1

    Same price at centrecom but low stock on the 750W.

  • For $10 more, can get the Super Flower Leadex III Gold 650W at PCCG

    They seem roughly equivalent with the flower power running 10 dBa less according to this Leadex III review vs NZXT C650 review

    Am I just splitting hairs here between 20dBa and 10dBa lol?

    • It's a difference between 3 years warranty (10 year on fpg vs 7 years on leadex3) vs more quiet operations and slightly better efficiency.
      You can't really go wrong with either - just a matter of which of the pro/con you prefer.

    • The Super Flower iii leadex works fantastic on 115 V. However, on 230 V the leadex iii has a low power factor reading due to a mistuned APFC.

      Because of this the NZXT C650 is likely to be the better choice.

      • I should add that there is pro version of the
        Super Flower iii ARGB.

        This is $149 but has minor updates such as:

        Meeting ATX 2.52 specifications and including
        Super Connectors (9 pin universal sockets) on the back.

  • Anyone knowledgeable about how these compare to Corsair RM750 etc?

    • +1

      The Corsair RM750 has a ten year warranty (SF 7) and out performs the NZXT.

      • -1

        No and no. NZXT is a Seasonic Focus Plus Gold rebadge, with 10 years warranty, and a better performer than the CWT RM750

        • First:

          It was only stated that the Super Flower had a 7 year warranty not the NZXT.

          Second:

          The NZXT only slightly outperforms the Corsair RM750 in average efficiency.

          The Corsair is the better performer in everything else.

          Hell, why do you believe the corsair RM750 is highlighted in gold on Linus PSU tier list and that the NZXT isn't?

          Granted, I'll need to read the safety features and VRM of each PSU to confirm what is on paper.

          • @BlameTheCat: Thanks for the help I appreciate it a lot, I ended up getting the Corsair RM850 for $130 by the way :)

          • @BlameTheCat: Well your original post was confusing.
            So
            1. you ignore that the SF outperforms the Corsair.
            2. on some metrics the CWT RM is "better" than the SFPG, while not on others - and you say it outperforms?
            3. No, the RM is NOT highlighted in gold on Linus PSU tier list. RMx is, and so are all of the (relevant) SF units.
            4. RM uses Chinese caps, so I don't know about recommending it to anyone.

            • @jkim: I agree that Super Flower Leadex iii is a good choice, if your input power source is 115v. However, it should be noted the SF fails to meet ATX 2.52 specs and that on 240v it has low PF readings.

              Granted, this does not prevent it from being a good PSU, only that there are better PSUs on the market for 240v.

              Sorry, but from your second statement I have to assume that you're a high school student and so have yet to learn critical thinking.

              Since it is possible for a Bronze PSU to outperform a good Gold PSU in some metrics. However, this does not mean a Bronze PSU is better than a Gold PSU.

              Refresh my memory what colour is the RM and what colour is the NZXT C on the PSU tier list?

              Regardless, the fact that the Seasonic focus uses Japanese caps is one of the reasons I stated the VRM is considered good. But, to claim NZXT outperforms the RM is to lie.

              Besides, while I'm unable to vouch for the Elite Caps since I've never used them, Aris Mpitziopoulos does give his seal of approval. Therefore, saying all Chinese caps are bad is a generalisation.

              • @BlameTheCat: What's the difference between a bronze and gold? Efficiency.
                So by your argument, if you ignore efficiency, the bronze must be better?
                The SFPG outperforms the RM on efficiency and some other metrics.
                What metrics exactly does the RM outperform the SFPG?

                I have to assume that you're a high school student and so have yet to learn critical thinking.

                Right back at you. You'll need to answer to the above or I'll have to regard you as another fanboy.

                Refresh my memory what colour is the RM and what colour is the NZXT C on the PSU tier list?

                Blue and black… blue denotes quiet.
                The RMx and SF Leadex psus are gold (best in tier).

                Regardless, the fact that the Seasonic focus uses Japanese caps is one of the reasons I stated the VRM is considered good. But, to claim NZXT outperforms the RM is to lie.

                Nope. It isn't a lie. It's the truth. What are the metrics that matter in a PSU?
                1. Reliability (Nichicon > Elite)
                2. Ripple
                3. Efficiency
                4. Others
                The NZXT C beats the RM in 2 of the top 3 and comes very close on the third.
                To state the RM beats the NZXT C is the lie.

                • @jkim: Really?

                  Do you know what a strawman is?

                  Because if you followed my logic, you'd know that I never stated a PSU's quality was determined by it's 80 plus rating or explicitly stated that a Bronze PSU was better than a Gold PSU.

                  Granted, as a rule of thumb I do believe that a well made Gold PSU preforms better than a well made Bronze PSU.

                  That stated it's possible for a well made
                  PSU Bronze PSU to perform better than a poorly made Gold PSU.

                  The problem is that people fail to realise the limits of the 80+ PSU rating system.

                  Since efficiency is only a small part of what makes a PSU unit great and that stability of the PSU is also critical.

                  Calling me a fanboy?

                  Listen, if I was wrong about you being a High School Student than I'm sorry. It is possible that you might be an Ectrician.

                  What are the metrics that matter in a PSU?

                  1. Reliability (Corsair > NZXT).
                  2. Ripple.
                  3. Load Regulation.
                  4. Efficiency.
                  5. Others.

                  The NZXT C beats the RM in only 1 of the top 4.

                  • @BlameTheCat: .
                    In regards to the Super Flower Leadex iii vs RM:

                    The RM (240v):
                    Is more Energy Efficient.
                    Has better Load Regulation.
                    Has a better PF.
                    Conforms to ATX 2.52.

                    The SF (240v):
                    Is Quieter.
                    Has a smaller ripple.
                    Has a better transcient response.
                    Uses Japanese caps.

                  • @BlameTheCat:

                    Calling me a fanboy?

                    Yes… you've proven this yourself… right here:

                    Reliability (Corsair > NZXT).

                    Seasonic > CWT, Nichicon > Elite… so where the fk are you getting "Corsair > NZXT", when neither companies actually made anything and just put their fkn sticker on it. This proves that you're just another Corsair fanboy.

                    Ignoring you from now.

                    • @jkim: .

                      No. I'm not a fan of Corsair and in fact nothing could be further from the truth. However, I cannot ignore the fact that Corsair is considered to be the more reliable brand when compared to NZXT.

                      Besides, stating that someone is a fanboy isn't as good of an insult as you believe. Because it is possible to be an authority on a subject and still be a fanboy, since both are not mutually exclusive.

                      Regardless, I've seen no evidence to support that you're not in High school or not an Electrician in training who thinks a breadboard is for baking.

                      This statement is reinforced when I see you are parroting people who've stated Corsair and NZXT slap their stickers on another manufacturer's PSU.

                      While, this statement holds true for some PSU sellers, both Corsair and NZXT actually leverage PSU platforms.

                      Leveraging explains why PSUs that use the same platform might perform differently in the real world such as the EVGA SN G5 and the BQ SP 11.

                      So while NZXT leverages Seasonic Focus platform it is not a Seasonic Focus.

                      Hence this line from Aris:
                      "The  NZXT C Series model with 850W max power uses the popular Seasonic Focus Plus Gold platform, but the performance, of our sample at least, wasn't at the same level as the corresponding Seasonic model."

                      Do you see how Aris states it only uses the platform and doesn't state it was made by Seasonic? Further, do you see how NZXT C is not on the same level as the Seasonic Focus?

                      So don't stop parroting people from online without knowing the subject.

                      Now the discussion is finished.

                      • @BlameTheCat: Ignoring your ignorant rant about Corsair > NZXT (completely untrue and shows blatant ignorance on manufacturing, outsourcing, OEM etc… corsair love to talk it up but their (corsair, nzxt, antec, xfx, etc) input to the final product is very limited), just going to address your "personal attacks".

                        1. You've seen no evidence to support that I am in High School or an Electrician.
                        2. A High Schooler or Electrician is more knowledgeable than you - whether I am or am not one (am not either).
                        3. A fanboy may think he's an authority on a subject, but is not, due to the unjust biases introduced from said fanaticism.

                        Do you see how Aris states it only uses the platform and doesn't state it was made by Seasonic?
                        So don't stop parroting people from online without knowing the subject.

                        I suggest you take your own advice.
                        You think NZXT or Corsair have their own production facilities?
                        It's people like you who said the Kia Pride (early 90 model), Mazda 323 and Ford Festiva (of the same time period) were different cars…
                        You know nothing.

                        • @jkim: .

                          Fine, you're not in High School or an Electrician. However, I'd assume you've never programmed in ASM or G#.

                          Besides, it's interesting you believe that being called an Electrician is a personal attack… why is that?

                          Further, stating that people shouldn't listen to a fanboy is unsound. Considering, that some of the most respected experts will have a bias in their field.

                          Next, I never stated Corsair > NZXT in terms of a brand. It was only noted that people state Corsair is the better brand.

                          I also didn't state that NZXT or that Corsair owned production facilities.

                          Especially, as I believed that some PSU brands design the PSU, then offshore the production to another company.

                          If this happens the manufacturer of the PSU will leverage their platform, but make changes to meet the product requirment document*.

                          Thus, the PSU will use the platform of the OEM but will be different**.

                          Then, some companies might have their own manufacturing plant and buy the right to a platform***.

                          Others might buy the platform from the OEM and make changes.

                          Thus, the PSU will use the platform of the OEM but will be different.

                          There are also companies that will rebrand another PSU while changing nothing.

                          Thus, the PSU performs the same.

                          What model the company uses depends upon it's competitive advantage.

                          Therefore, because the NZXT is worse then the Focus it isn't simply a rebrand as you stated.

                          Unless, you can suggest another reason for it being worse than the focus?

                          Lastly, are you saying I'm parroting the person who established a new certification for PSUs by providing a reference to him?

                          That's a weird criticism but ok.

                          Note:

                          Hell, I might just copy you and ask if you believe that to build a PSU is to simply put electrical parts together?

                          *Some PSU companies might make minor changes after this point.

                                          If I wanted to add credibility I'd of stated I'm EE.

                                              I don't believe there is a way to answer this without me being wrong.

                                              So I will offer you a stalemate.

                            • @jkim: I finally figured it out.
                              I assumed you had somewhat of a rudimentary knowledge about… anything… but that was my bad.

                              It's clear to me now that you have NFI what you're on about, so you think it's a strawman.
                              So just for this one time, I'll spell it out to you.

                              You said this:

                              Reliability (Corsair > NZXT).

                              What are the sources of reliability in a PSU?
                              1 - p = what are the most common reasons for a PSU failing?
                              The most common known, and statistically most probable cause of failure are:
                              1. Caps
                              2. Solder, and the processes (training, QA process, etc) that a company institutes to ensure consistency.

                              I think we both agree that Nichicon > Elite. So set that one aside for now.
                              By making the statement that "Corsair > NZXT", you are inferring that either:
                              1. CWT > Seasonic; OR
                              2. Corsair and/or NZXT have their own manufacturing plants, and perform the assembly themselves. Furthermore, either Corsair do a better job of it than Seasonic, OR NZXT botch the job to make the assembly quality of the Seasonic unit worse than CWT or Corsair would.

                              Hence, I addressed the 3 arguments of:
                              1. Caps (Nichicon > Elite)
                              2. CWT vs Seasonic (Seasonic > CWT)
                              3. manufacturing plants. (Neither Corsair nor NZXT have manufacturing plants, so the argument reverts to 1 + 2).

                              I suggest you go back and re-read all of your absurd commentary before posting again.

                                I was using the fact that people believe Corsair to be better brand. Personally, I hate Corsair.

                                  Elite are a tier 2 cap… they're pretty good but no where near as good as Nichicon, Chemicon, or some of the US brands.

                                  I was using the fact that people believe Corsair to be better brand.

                                  When has people's belief been a source of reliability?
                                  Never.
                                  Hence I ignored this, as it didn't even make any sense.

                                  But you did say Reliability (Corsair > NZXT), and these are the major sources of Reliablity.
                                  So either you were talking rubbish (which it has now been clarified that you were) OR you were claiming one of the 3 arguments above.

                                    To be honest my list was more of satire of your list to be honest.

                                    Simply, since you stated reliability, which is hard to determine without RMA statistics.

                                    I even mentioned that the first models of the Focus had a high failure rate.

                                    This was a model people were suggesting for its reliability and it turned out to be a lemon.

                                      No company is perfect.
                                      Even Toyota, the most reliable company in the world, have had the occasional defects significant enough for recalls.
                                      Still, over the long years we know that the reliability of Seasonic > CWT and Chemicon > Elite.

                                      BTW I'm currently a fan of the Bitfenix Whisper M in the current market, despite it being a CWT unit, due to it's value proposition (quality/$). I ignored the most critical value proposition in this argument due to the sale price bringing both units to similar price points.

                                        That's why I never stated NZXT wasn't a good option.

                                        Granted, if we really want to nitpick about reliability, the thermals on the NZXT are higher which means?

                                        Regardless, I'd choose the Corsair for the ripple, load regulation, and noise.

                                          I'd never choose a PSU without 100% tier 1 caps (whether they be Japanese or US) as a bare minimum starting point.
                                          I have had to replace a few caps in dead electronics (SamXon, CapXon, Elite) after only 3 - 5 years of use.
                                          I've never had to replace Nichicon, Chemicon, Rubycon caps with equipment even 15+ years old.

                                          With all the glue that PSU manufacturers plaster in the PSU, replacing caps is sufficiently annoying to justify replacing the unit instead of repairing.

                                            It would seem Aris also rates the Corsair over the NZXT.

                                            Personally, I just make sure the PSU has all safety featues and a 7+ year warranty.

                                            Fine. I agree that you seem to have more life experience in these matters.

                                            Especially, considering that you found elite has a life of 5 years (mental note).

                                              Didn't I ask you to take your own advice?
                                              The only parts of the online reviews worth paying attention to are facts:
                                              1. Teardown, to see pictures of the internals and assess yourself whether it's good or bad.
                                              2. Test data, and only if consistent with data from other reviewers.

                                              The opinions of the reviewers is worth less than toilet paper, given:
                                              1. We don't know their credentials. For instance, JG is just a tech support dude, but people think he's god.

                                              Granted, when did you stop using PSU units with elite caps?

                                              I didn't say PSU - I've not bought a PSU without 100% jap caps for at-least the last 15 years.
                                              I said electronics.
                                              I found a handful of these caps in a monitor power relay unit when I opened it up after it died. (3 x 1F, 6 x 470 mF, about a dozen smaller ones).
                                              Replaced with chemicon caps, and the monitor's been good for another 2 years so far.

                                              I've done autopsies of various dead electronics around the house and have never found a Nichicon, Chemicon or Rubycon to be at fault.
                                              Same cannot be said for the other caps, which have been the most common cause of failure in household electronics including: DVD player, Hifi unit/sound bar, monitor/TV, as well as some older motherboards.

                                              considering that you found elite has a life of 5 years

                                              I never said that.
                                              I said it failed between 3 - 5 years, but it doesn't mean it has a 3 - 5 year life.
                                              It could be that the Elite manufacturing process isn't as consistent or robust as the japanese older brothers, so they get more duds in their production.

                                              and a bigger sample size.

                                              Yes, a bigger sample is needed than just my own experience, and a bigger sample is already available.

                                                It's bad enough they used Elites, but there's also a bunch of trash Suscons mixed in there.
                                                I wonder why your idol Aris didn't mention the Suscons??? (hint: exercise some critical thinking, please)

                                                This thing should be on everyone's do not touch list.

                                                the thermals on the NZXT are higher which means?

                                                When it's competing against Suscons, do you think it matters?

                                                Let's say you have an average Melbourne City Chef (some unknown/less known dude - aka NZXT), and Jamie Oliver (famous by reputation - aka Corsair).
                                                Let's give the average Melbourne City Chef some Wagyu, and Jamie Oliver some Poo as their ingredients.

                                                Who's going to serve the better meal?

                                                With Elites alone, this simile would have given Jamie Oliver some Blackmoore, but given the Suscons, Poo is the most appropriate substitute.

                                                  Besides, my original comment was that the Corsair RM outperforms a NZXT C and you disputed this fact.

                                                  The review by Aris shows that the Corsair is a better performing PSU.

                                                  Further, if Japanese caps determine the reliability of a PSU, why was the original Focus models plagued with problems?

                                                  I'm not stating that Japanese caps are not important in a PSU. But, it's not the most important aspect of a PSU.

                                                  First, Aris has degrees in Computer Science, Telecommunications and a Ph.D in wireless communications.

                                                  He also created a new certification for
                                                  PSUs because of the shortcomings of the 80+ plus rating system*.

                                                  His system is currently being used by major PSU companies including NZXT, Super Flower and Corsair to test their products.

                                                  Aris is the lead reviewer for PSUs at
                                                  Techpowerup and Tomshardware.

                                                  Please also note that review sites offer users important information on how well the PSU unit is calibrated.

                                                  Because it would be impractical for an average person to test PSUs.

                                                  Regardless, I highly doubt you would have any personal reason to ignore or to cherry pick the data.

                                                  So, to keep things fair I looked at another review of the NZXT C.

                                                  The review was done by anandtech who found the ripple on their model was worse than what Aris reported.

                                                  I didn't need to review the platforms since that was done previously.

                                                  That's how I knew, you were wrong in stating the NZXT was a rebrand of the Focus plus.

                                                  Since A some parts have been changed, and B the unit performs worse than the focus.

                                                  Even stating Su'scon is a Chinese "brand" is wrong, it's a Taiwanese company.

                                                  Granted, I can't vouch for the quality of these caps. However, what I am able to state is that Aris believes it isn't an issue.

                                                  So to conclude:

                                                  I never stated caps in the Corsair were more reliable than the caps in the NZXT. I only stated the Corsair outperforms the NZXT which it does.

                                                  So the Question isn't if you won, but rather, what have you stated that's been correct?

                                                  Note:
                                                  I was going to include this as a joke in a pervious comment but here:

                                                    Resorting to a strawman in an argument isn't called winning.

                                                    Except there's no strawman by me.
                                                    I'm not the one practicing logical fallacies here… you are.
                                                    Do you know what a strawman is?
                                                    You didn't know what ad hominem was.

                                                    The review by Aris

                                                    Again, resorting to "Aris said"… where's the facts?

                                                    I'm not stating that Japanese caps are not important in a PSU. But, it's not the most important aspect of a PSU.

                                                    If Jamie Oliver dresses up Poo, will you eat it?
                                                    No?
                                                    Didn't think so.

                                                    you tired to ignore the data from Aris.

                                                    I ignore his opinions.
                                                    I don't know why you don't ignore his opinions.
                                                    Oh, wait, I do.

                                                    That's how I knew, you were wrong in stating the NZXT was a rebrand of the Focus plus.

                                                    Is a Commodore with an aftermarket muffler a Commodore or another car?
                                                    Is the performance of a Commodore with an aftermarket muffler the same as stock or not?
                                                    How about if fitted with a Turbo kit?
                                                    It's very clear that you're wrong.

                                                    Even stating Su'scon is a Chinese "brand" is wrong, it's a Taiwanese company.

                                                    Man, this is a strawman.
                                                    What is my argument?
                                                    Whether Suscon is Chinese or Taiwanese?
                                                    Or it's Poo, Corsair included it in the RM, and Aris conveniently glanced over this without mentioning a word.
                                                    So you misrepresent my argument and then try to knock it down.
                                                    That's a strawman.

                                                    However, what I am able to state is that Aris believes it isn't an issue.

                                                    Based on what?
                                                    He covered Elite in his article but conveniently ignored the Suscon.
                                                    Pretty sure he knows himself that Suscon are trash given he or one of his co workers wrote an article on it.

                                                    So to conclude:

                                                    So to conclude, you only have appeal to authority as your single argument, and don't understand the motives of said authority.

      To make it simple: Corsair RMX > NZXT C > Corsair RM

      • Upon further inspection, the NZXT is better in transient response and average efficiency.

        The Corsair has better average efficiency at 5VSB, standby power consumption, ripple, load regulation.

        Not to mention that NZXT is ~4 times the
        perceived loudness of the Corsair.

        So, even if we assume Corsair and NZXT had the same performance the NZXT is the worse buy due to noise.

        Granted, 35dB is still pretty quiet.

        Lastly, I can see the appeal of the NZXT since it leverages the Focus GX which has a good VRM.

        Sadly, the Seasonic Focus has had issues from the start and reviews seem to indicate that the NZXT C has minor calibration issues.

  • I got these and had a faulty cable. Looks rlly god and packing is great tho. Glad there’s two

  • i was going to buy the 750W model until i noticed that it only had 1x 4+4-pin CPU power output, where as the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 750 has 2 4+4-pin CPU power output

    • For the layman, what does that exactly mean, could you please expand?

      • +1

        Some high end overclocking motherboards take two EPS 8 pin CPU cables for extreme CPU Overclocking

    • For two CPUs?

    • It has 2x eps (2x 4+4 pin cpu power) mention on the box specs, i just got it today, i still not open the box yet, once i open it, i will let you know. But the tech sale confirmed it has 2x eps.

  • I was just saying, why don't we have any decent power supply deals anymore…

    • Can probably blame miners for that

    PSU sorted now for the graphics card …… :O

      From the bottom of my heart…..good luck :/
