SuperNOVA 750 G2, 80+ GOLD 750W, Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 10 Year Warranty, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply 220-G2-0750-XR

Fantastic Gold Certified power supply for relatively cheap. When it comes to power supplies, it is an area that many people skimp over. They spend all of their budget on the big components and fail to adequately power it with a high quality power supply, thus possibly jeopardizing their entire build. I too fell into this trap on my latest upgrade to bring a five year old system back up to snuff. I went with a generally trusted company, but bought a lower-line power supply that developed horrible coil whine after a week. It was RMA'ed and I didn't trust a replacement. I ended up researching other power supplies in the 750watt range that were sub-$130. This was one of the few that fit the budget and was a quality company. I could not be more pleased. It is whisper quiet and looks great. Let's do some quick pros/cons: Pros: - Ultra quiet, especially if you want to use the ECO function which cuts the fan from spinning. I have yet to find noticeable temperature increases that worry me. When the temperatures increase, the fan starts and all is well. Love this feature. - Aesthetically looks good. Has a very slight dimpling texture. - Adequate cables as provided (more on this below). Feel sturdy and well constructed. - Packaged very well, including cases for both extra cables as well as the PSU itself. - Fully modular and well-labelled - 10 year warranty (I doubt it will even be in use with me that long, but great insurance). - Did I mention it was whisper quiet? Cons: - The provided cables are all adequate to power even fairly intense builds. However, I was disappointed that none of the cables were 90 degree angles for the connectors. This is a minor con, as this may not be an issue with your case, however, my case benefits greatly from 90 degree connectors. It's a small concern and one that isn't a huge deal. But it is noteworthy if this is important to you. I really have so few complaints that this is an easy 5 star power supply. The pricepoint was very reasonable for a quality, fully modular power supply from a reputable company backed by a ridiculous 10 year warranty. I have never used EVGA for power supplies in the past, but they have just won me over on this one. Very pleased and will look their way again down the line.

So far it seems like a great PSU. Pros- - It came with so many cables - Very nice quality cables. - Small (which is awesome for mid-towers) - It has a power switch. - Has Eco mode (if you are a gamer do not use this) Cons -Well it is not really a con, it comes with a bunch of VGA cables and oh man they are nice looking but, most GPU's on the market are using PCIe sockets. Which with this type of socket you need a PCIe express cable, which is an 8 pin and a 6+2 pin set up on the same cable. The VGA cables are 8 on one side and 6+2 on the other. So if you have a GPU that needs PCIe express cable you will have to go out and buy one. It was not a problem for me because I had one laying around. Also although the PCIe express cable normal is plugged into a PCIe slot on a PSU (which all the slots are lable VGA on this one) I have found that you can still just plug it into the VGA spot. It is working fine for my R9 280x, hopefully it keeps working fine. (I read somewhere that VGA and PCIe on the PSU are the same, not sure if that is true.) Over all this is a really great PSU, it powered up my new build and seems to be working fine. My last PSU was the 500watt bronze edition and it still works after 3 years of abuse. Great product, it should work for your gaming pc needs.

These things are beasts and I can't believe some of them retail <$100. That's a steal. The power supply itself and all of the cables are built with high quality parts and you can DEFINITELY tell the difference when handling it compared to other budget power supplies. Not only that but the packaging and presentation are impeccable and it comes with all sorts of spare cables so you won't have to find yourself ordering more parts (power supplies should be easy right?). Oh and these things are VERY quiet too. I can barely hear the fan when I'm on my knees fiddling with cables and have my ear right next to it. Let's clarify a few things for those who are new to building PCs: The "GOLD" doesn't have anything to do with materials used in the power supply, but rather the efficiency rating of the power supply as a whole. GOLD means that the unit has 87% efficiency at a 100% load (it essentially converts 87% of your wall outlet power into power that can be used by your computer). The only higher designation is "PLATINUM") which has 89% efficiency at 100% load. Platinum units, however, are generally more expensive and from a price perspective, suffer from diminishing returns. This power supply is also "modular", which essentially means that cables can be swapped out so that only cables that you need to use are connected to the power supply. This saves a TON of space in your computer, and with newer towers becoming smaller and more stream-lined, you need all the space you can get. Having extra space also improves airflow and cooling in your tower, which is also something you can always have more of. Overall: HIGHLY recommend these power supplies. Excellent efficiency, modular, and high quality parts

Ok, Here's the deal.. This thing is EXTREMELY well made. Looking at it, one can clearly see that EVGA used the best quality parts and worked hard to make this PSU last the full 10 years its under warranty. Secondly, I LOVE having a fully modular power supply - my case looks cleaner than ever. When its on ECO mode the fan doesn't come on unless its under high load. I have a EVGA GTX 760SC video card; even when I'm playing newer games (on ultra) the fan never needs to come on. Makes for a quiet, energy reserving beast of a power supply. I showed this to a friend of mine and he immediately bought the 850 version.... Always gotta out do me :). Anyways, highly recommend this PS unit: EVGA makes incredible stuff and their customer support is astounding! Best of luck! One last thought, if you didn't know, pretty much all power supplies are ticking time bombs for the rest of your hardware. As time passe the transistors begin to go bad and send different voltages to your components - eventually frying your computer. That's why its important to get a good power supply with minimal variation in voltages and a long life span.... Pretty much why I bought this.

The Beast! At our work place we use a lot of server power supplies for various servers, but this one has got to be one of the largest and heaviest 750W units I have ever seen. It fit perfectly in the case but it uses every inch of length and width available. The packaging for this power supply is unbelievable. It felt like I was opening up a box from Tiffany's. Everything is in top class molded foam and you get so many spare cables that you will never have an issue with that. It even comes with a elegant black fabric bag to hold the spare cables. As for the performance, it does not disappoint, it is virtually silent and it has no problem working with the server we put it in. Time will tell with the durability, but I am guessing that this is going to last a long time, because it has so much thermal mass that the supply is very cool and a cool power supply that is not overly dependent on a fan typically lasts a long time.

BACKGROUND A little over two months ago, I began my search for a new desktop PSU. I started by pulling up Amazon’s top 100 best sellers list. The top 20 were overwhelmingly dominated by just one brand, so I began drilling down there. Almost immediately I found myself unhappy with the state of affairs reported for these units due to their many problems (e.g., abundant multiple DOAs and RMAs in succession; units which apparently ran well for a few days or weeks and then died, some peacefully, some with sparks or light as of a short circuit, a few by explosion, taking out with them everything in the desktop case. Frustrated, I turned to other brands as they caught my attention. The story with these was largely similar: too many problems, little evidence of any real QC, lots of hype, and apparent realization of claims only by random chance. By now at least three weeks had elapsed and I was angry. Was the entire PSU area one large crap field? I asked myself. I went back to the top 20 list again and noticed for the first time just a single entry for EVGA. (I didn’t know the brand. I’m not a gamer.) This quickly led me to the desktop 750 watt G2 (generation 2) PSU. (I later found that the G2 series was introduced around mid-2013.) At that time it had 35 reviews and a rating of 4.9. In a few days I had carefully read them all, spot-checked other product reviews in the EVGA line-up, and knew I had found my needle in the haystack! As I write this review, there are 236 reviews with a product rating of 4.7. Not all the reviews pertain to the G2 line (reflecting Amazon’s policy of aggregating reviews from all family lines). Some include units from about a year ago when for a short time there actually appears to have been a manufacturer assembly error with the 1000 watt and 1300 watt units in the G2 and P2 families. EVGA’s G2 and P2 PSUs are designed and made by the regarded Taiwan OEM Super Flower Company, which also provides PSUs for a hand full of other labels, including Enermax, NZXT, and Sentey. (I had already noticed by my own analysis of the reviews, before I was aware of the episode of manufacturing error, that the higher wattage units seemed to be having a disproportionate number of the more serious problems.) That was a very valid issue then, but the negative reviews (they have no expiration) still weigh down the products being made now, after correction of the issue around 1 October 2013. One or two reviews concern rebate issues, not PSU quality issues. Some of the reported problems may even have been at least partially self-inflicted. Nevertheless, with a larger sample, valid problems now have arisen (even a few of the kind which take out everything in the desktop). And what shall I say? The occurrence of incidents in the G2 PSU line is by my analysis considerably lower than with other brand offerings competing near this price point, but unfortunately not entirely absent: there remains a residual luck-of-the-draw element. Perhaps faulty installation or other latent problems with the PC receiving the new PSU were even factors in a few cases. While understanding the anger and pain which will be the lot of those who experience it, I must write based on my own experience, and I begin to do so below. The Quick-Look SUMMARY VERSION Review The (essentially) totally-quiet operation of the PSU cooling fan and the lack of any coil whine have been abundantly documented in other reviews and need not be dealt with again here. The subjective quality apparent in the cables, the PSU, and even the packaging is the last word from every angle from which I can think to judge. (I have no test equipment or technical know-how to perform quantitative measurements.) There have been no performance issues or idiosyncrasies so far (after one month) with my installation. To me, this PSU seems over-the-top and I am thoroughly impressed and completely delighted. For peace of mind and many additional reasons, tangible and intangible, ten stars out of five are what I would award if I could. A JonnyGURU review made this salient observation: “EVGA tends to under-promise and over-deliver.” For at least once in your life, discover what it’s like to be overwhelmed with quality instead of hokum and to wallow in excellence. The next production run may not attain to the current production run, so grab this PSU now while it is still available. The LONG VERSION Review The product presents in a handsome black corrugated cardboard box entirely encased in shrink wrap. The box is opened by cutting (use a small X-acto knife) a tough plastic QA seal located over an interlocking cardboard tab at the bottom center of one of the smallest faces. The box has a black plastic carrying handle centered in this smallest face. Once the QA seal is cut, that smallest face lifts up (open), permitting the entire top (one of the largest faces) to hinge open. What one then sees can be described as not only beautiful but (almost) breath-taking. Everything inside the box (including ALL inside surfaces of the box and the soft-ish foam packing material) is black. High quality and meticulous attention to detail seem everywhere apparent. It seems no exaggeration to state that every minutia of this product and its presentation has been carefully conceived, designed, and executed. For once, it looks like QC has been both real and at a high level. (At the time I actually made the purchase, the reviews (over 50) for this product were hovering closer to 5.0 than to 4.9. There were no 3-star, 2-star, or 1-star reviews. No smoke, sparks, or explosions; at that time, no DOAs or RMAs.) The PSU itself comes in a very nice (black) nylon case (with gold EVGA lettering) with a closing flap secured with a Velcro closure. This nylon case ships inside the cardboard box suspended between two (black) foam end-caps. Slipped in on top of the PSU nylon case and under the two end-caps is the handsome (black-covered) 36-page 5-language manual (quality paper, die-cut, quality printing) also downloadable from www.EVGA.com. A large and handsome (black) nylon case (with gold EVGA lettering) is provided for storage of unused/uninstalled cables and has a closing flap secured with a Velcro closure. Like everything else in the box, it bespeaks of quality. The first thing I inspected (by lengthy fondling and caressing) was the (black) PSU. The construction of the unit is solid. The fit and finish of all edges and corners are perfect, as are all surfaces. No cosmetic blemishes of any kind were found anywhere. The craftsmanship here is immaculate. There is even a small clear plastic disk over the stylized EVGA “E” in the center of the fan grill to protect its metallic finish and luster from tarnish. Affixed by static cling, this lifts cleanly and easily. (Don’t overlook its removal. I’ve wondered whether the few “fan noise” complaints reported might be due to that little plastic disk being sucked up into the fan area.) ALL the cables (except the 6” Floppy Disk Drive “adapter,” if one can label that a “cable”) are encased in handsome (black) woven nylon sleeving. ALL the cables at the PSU interface are latching. ALL the cables at the other end (the attached-device interface) are latching EXCEPT as follows: - The 15-pin SATA power cable connectors are non-latching. Depending upon your particular configuration of SATA devices, additional (extension) cabling may be needed. - The peripheral cable’s Molex connectors (regular size) are non-latching. As above, depending upon your particular configuration of peripheral devices, additional (extension) cabling may be needed. - The 2-pin part of the 6-pin + 2-pin VGA power cables is non-latching (it is too narrow for a latch; the 6-pin part is latching). - The Floppy Disk Drive adapter cable (about 6” and connecting to a peripheral cable Molex connector [regular size]) is non-latching at both of its ends. I inspected EACH cable by lengthy fondling and caressing. As before, everything I saw bespeaks of quality. There were no “oh-oh!” moments. Neither the cables nor their connectors feel in any way “cheap.” In fact, the cables have a reassuring hefty feel to them. All connectors SEEMED soundly attached. Note that the “main cable” or motherboard-powering cable consists at the PSU interface of two separate parts: a 10-pin (left-most) part and an 18-pin (right-most) part. Both parts (latching) must be connected to the 28-pin PSU interface. The motherboard connector (latching) at the other end of this cable is a solid (non-breakable) 24-pin entity. It is NOT of the 20-pin + 4-pin variety. If you happen to have a 20-pin motherboard connector, you will need to obtain an inexpensive 24-pin to 20-pin adapter/adapter cable. Note that JonnyGURU reviews (see references later) for the 1000 watt and 850 watt versions pointed out modular cable “connector contact issues” with his motherboard cable. (“The ATX [motherboard] cable in particular had a few loose connections in it that produced some voltage swings when I pushed on it.” That is, pushing in on the wiring harness where it enters the plastic connector [whether at the PSU interface or at the motherboard interface is not clear; it could be either or both] caused very small voltage fluctuations and thus the theoretical potential of losing/corrupting data due to power fluctuations.) I had already done my install before I knew about this review/problem. Even though I’ve had no problem so far, I thought to myself “it-wouldn’t-hurt-to-have-a-high-quality-spare-motherboard-cable-lying-around; they-can’t-be-that-expensive.” Perhaps I didn’t employ the best/correct descriptive terminology, but in several quick Internet searches I found no individual replacement motherboard cables! (mobo extension cables, yes; complete whole modular sets, yes) There is ± 2% voltage regulation of the three regulated positive voltages (+ 12, + 5, and + 3.3). This degree of “tightness” is relatively rare (especially at this price point) and is indicator of the high quality of this PSU. Many top-of-the-line PSUs regulate to ± 3%. The ATX standard only requires ± 5% here. (The + 5 standby voltage need be only nominally regulated.) DC-to-DC Converter technology has been used in PCs in various places for quite some time. This means that the regulated + 5 volt and + 3.3 volt currents are derived directly from the + 12 volt current rail of the PSU. This is more energy-efficient than having dedicated + 5 volt and + 3.3 volt transformer taps along with their voltage regulators. There is less waste heat to dissipate. This design technology maximizes the + 12 volt rail current output, permits faster dynamic current response, and increases system stability. It undoubtedly also is a large contributor to the tight ± 2% positive voltage regulation. The EVGA G2 and P2 PSU series are based on the Super Flower Leadex (SFL) platform designed and built by the well-regarded Super Flower Company OEM based in Taiwan. The Super Flower brand can be imported from Europe but is itself not directly available in North America. In essence, in the current time frame, the EVGA G2 and P2 series ARE (exclusively?) the Super Flower product in the USA. I commend the following JonnyGURU reviews which cover many technical considerations and measurements (though his final ratings are somewhat subjective and informally breezy, and his write-ups are characterized by chronic, annoying, and puerile inner monologues, apparently as of a frustrated standup comic). Anyone interested in the EVGA G2 series of PSUs should read ALL of the following reviews to get an enlarged picture both of the G2 series and of the SFL products on which they are based. (The budget-targeted EVGA B2 product – ultimately SFL-based, though at a budget level – is included for contrast because I found the review.)

I don’t see how it gets better than this at any reasonable price I can afford to pay for a PSU. And it comes with an industry-unprecedented 10 year warranty, still another indicator of its quality and additionally indicative of what EVGA/SFC have poured into this G2 series, earlier manufacturing error episode (SFC’s fault) aside.

***This first item is what truly makes this item stand out in my opinion. The included extras are a GREAT addition that I didn't expect. IT comes with some nice, soft Velcro cable ties that look professional and of nice quality. Much nicer than the bread ties that were included with a different part. Also included are two soft storage bags. One is for the PSU, the other is for the extra cables and for the PSU tester. However, the extras bag is large enough that I stored other leftover components in it and use the PSU bag for some hardware such as screws. A wonderful addition that didn't go unnoticed! *Eco mode is great. This thing is SILENT. The fan hardly ever runs in my case. Even when the fun is running, its quite and I won't hear it unless I go out of my way and put my ear next to it. *Modular, as stated. Very handy.

I bought this PSU in June of 2018, and built my PC in mid-January 2019. Today it is 5/19/19. It was easy to work with the cables and they have ample slack to get to where the power is needed. I like that there is a switch on the back of the power supply so that you can turn the fan off if you want to, but I leave it on. The noise doesn't bother me, despite the PSU fan being the loudest component in my build. Audible about 3 feet away, though it can be dampened with headphones. I typically wear headphones so this sound doesn't bother me, but if you care about how loud your PSU fan is, or if you don't wear headphones during normal PC use, then I would buy something else. The wires don't look as pretty as individual sleeved cables, rather the cables are sleeved together and the sleeving cuts off far away from the connections. This makes the shiny black wires stand out, especially on the 24-pin motherboard connector. I don't know if this problem is with every single EVGA G2 power supply, but some of the individual wires cross over each other making for a bad aesthetic look. Does not affect performance, but when you see several cables all trying to fight over space, and twisting around each other, it doesn't look as pretty as those individual sleeved cables with wire combs. Pros: 750W PSU w/ gold rating efficiency Long power cables Fully modular Can cut the fan off for silent use with a switch on the back SO. MANY. WIRES. But it's modular :) Cons: PSU fan is the loudest component in my PC Wires could look better TL;DR Great PSU, been running for 5 months in my PC. Cables could look better, and fan could be quieter. It's modular, so cables are easy to work with.

Works like a dream & is super quiet. My old PSU (Seasonic M12D) was slowly dying & after reading the reviews I decided to give the EVGA G2 a try. I'd been having occasional weird computer issues for a long time. Taking forever to shut down & power off, random startup errors, & my front USB ports would constantly disconnect & reconnect if more than one device was plugged in. I blamed other hardware, but after upgrading my system the problems remained & then my system started randomly losing power. I installed the new PSU & my system has been running better than it has since I built it. No more start up or shut down weirdness & my front USB ports are working perfectly. My system is much quieter as well. Turns out my old PSU was flakey right from the start but got worse over time. Super happy with this purchase. I researched several PSU's before choosing this one. The EVGA SuperNOVA G2 seemed to have the most consistent positive consumer reviews on top of near perfect review by JohnnyGURU. It was much better priced & has great warranty.

EVGA SuperNova G2 Power Supplies are the best of the best, the Zeus of power supplies. It beats both Corsair and SeaSonic in durability by a long shot. Often, the other manufacturers will have difficulty pushing to the maximum rated wattage, this does it without working as hard as the others. Fully modular, braided cables means your rig will be as cool as humanly possible. I am running around a 650 watt miner on those and barely breaks a sweat. The packing is also top of the line, you get little pouches for the extra cables and for storing the PSU itself when you are nto using it. I'm a Bitcoin miner and put my equipment through a lot of excessive stress. We recently switched from Corsair/SS to EVGA exclusively plainly due to the cost/value factor but most importantly, how well they work and how problem free they have been comparatively. I recommend any EVGA SuperNova G2 for any power intensive application such as crypto mining and intense PC gaming or where the computer has multiple video cards. We got a good price on them so as long as they remain low, we'll keep buying them, those things are well worth what I paid for it and the shipping from this vendor was comparable speed to other large retailers for the same shipping option. I also have a bunch of 1,000 watters and those are bulletproof also. Nothing but good things to say.

Have had this for a few months. Very nice power supply and the modular design means you can use just the cables it needs and can avoid a lot of cable clutter. This PSU also had an 'ECO' mode, meaning the fan will stay off until the PSU reaches a certain temperature threshold. This has the double benefit of making the unit completely silent under most operating conditions as well as extending the life of the fan. Seeing as how was I looking for the quietest possible machine when doing this build, this unit is perfect.

One of the only OG pieces left in my build. Top notcb

No problems, long lasting and stable
