Lian Li has released its SP (850W/1000W) aimed at SFX builds, and SX (850W/1000W/1200W) Platinum series in black or white. Power supplies rarely get the attention they deserve with many a PC enthusiast focused more on the FPS a CPU or GPU provides or perhaps more exciting visuals rendered by said GPU but without a solid PSU neither may function properly and you never know if you’ll end up on Reddit as another user reporting another failure so it’s worth doing the homework for the right PSU.
The SP Platinum series might just be the right fit for someone, either doing a small form factor build or even an mATX project where a little more free space can make a difference for other challenges in getting everything into place.
“LIAN LI, a leading manufacturer of computer chassis and accessories, announces the SP Platinum Series, fully modular 850W and 1000W SFX power supplies engineered for high-end small-form-factor builds. Delivering 80 PLUS® Platinum certified efficiency, the SP Platinum meets Intel ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 requirements and integrates LIAN LI’s in-house designed 12V-2×6 for reliable modern GPU power delivery.”

Those doing a more traditional ATX build might appreciate the 1200W model for a more power-hungry system or perhaps are just looking for a solid PSU to get the job done.
“LIAN LI, a leading manufacturer of computer chassis and accessories, announces the launch of the SX Series PSU, available in 850W, 1000W, and 1200W with 80 PLUS® Platinum certification for up to 92% efficiency. Built to deliver stable, future-ready power, the SX Series is fully compliant with Intel’s ATX 3.1 specification and features a native PCIe Gen 5.1 12V-2×6 connector capable of supplying up to 600W directly to next-generation GPUs.”
