   For an 80 Plus Platinum certified PSU the GOLDEN KING 1000W (SF-1000P14PE) could have a better name (gold is gold) but regardless of the name we are talking about an high quality 80 Plus Platinum certified power supply unit with near excellent rail stability, almost inaudible (even at extreme load), peak power headroom (up to 1100W) and plenty of connectors to power even the most demanding of systems. Although somewhat weird the choice between ECO and Thermal Controlled fan modes is something we rarely see and could come in handy if you want to have a really silent system (and you don’t care about extra temps). Of course I would like to see tags on both the fan mode switch and the modular connectors but that’s a personal preference thing.

 

   At this moment the GOLDEN KING 1000W power supply by Super Flower retails for around 200Euros inside the EU which is roughly USD250 for all our friends living in the USA since it's currently not being sold there. Now considering that similar wattage (1000W) 80 Plus Platinum certified units available currently cost around 30% more than the GOLDEN KING i really think that Super Flower is doing a great job when it comes to pricing. The only problem as mentioned above is availability since even in the EU the GOLDEN KING series are not very easy to find so i really hope that Super Flower can improve that and resolve the issue of people not being able to purchase their units on the other side of the Atlantic. Long story short for near excellent performance, impressive build quality and very reasonable price tag we are awarding the GOLDEN KING 1000W Power Supply by Super Flower with our Platinum Award.
