EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 80+ GOLD, 1300W Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 120-G2-1300-XR

I had my second 1000 watt KingWin die on me in less than a year, so I abandoned the KingWin ship, and for only forty bucks more (and an extra 300 watts) this seemed like the no-brainer switch. I was EXTREMELY wary of the recall EVGA had back in October 2013, but it seems like a manufacturer with this kind of reputation and experience would know how to run a recall, and would also be d*mned sure they got it right the second time around. I know a warranty won't cover my equipment and data, but the 10 year warranty (which I'm sure I'll be using in about 8 years) from a company that probably won't be going anywhere (since they're one of the top mobo and vid cards manufacturers) clinched the deal. The PSU comes in a custom tailored cloth bag... meant to make you think of it like jewels, I assume. The physical unit is built solid as a rock with a nice, big, quiet fan (I definitely can't hear it over any of the other stuff in the case, especially the vid card). The exterior is covered with a sort of "hammered" finish that makes it look like a truck bed. The *fully* modular design is AWESOME. Also, the connectors (where the cables plug into the unit) are appropriately sized, unlike the KingWin plugs which are so HUGE (to refract the ridiculously gimmicky LED's I assume) that you can't thread them through your case. The EVGA PSU shipped with 1x24 ATX cable, 2x 4+4 pin EPS 12v CPU, 4x 6+2 pin PCI-E VGA, 2x 6+6+2 pin PCI-E VGA, (4) 3xSata, (1) 3x molex, (1) 2x molex + 4 pin floppy (?), and the power cord. There is a large nylon case to store the extra cables (I used all the SATA and molex, but even with dual vid cards and some other stuff, who could possibly use all those PCI-E cables?! --nice to have them though). They even throw in a bag of velcro ties to wrangle the cables. Very nice. If I have any complaints it's that the sata connectors are a little close together on the cable (if your sata devices aren't *right* next to each other, you'll have issues). I only have one sata connector left available, and no molex left over, so I guess it'd be nice to have a couple more sata/molex cables. [UPDATE] I actually had a full extra run of Sata (not just a single connection) that I overlooked, so there are actually 4 available sata connectors left in my machine. I recently purchased a USB 3.0 PCIe card that requires power via molex, so I guess I'll have to purchase a sata to molex adapter considering I am out of molex connectors that came with the unit. So far so good, but I'll definitely be holding onto the box, because there's no way something like this will last 10 years, and I definitely plan on taking them up on the warranty! FWIW, every PSU manufacturer, no matter how great, has some bad reviews. When I was researching which unit to buy, it seemed like such a crapshoot (and still does). Every single manufacturer has reviews with tales of "fried my mobo and all my hard drives!" When you're talking about something that has the power to kill thousands of dollars worth of equipment and ALL your data, a PSU is a pretty scary purchase. I personally had a bad experience with (2) KingWin, so I won't be using them any more. I can't say whether or not EVGA will prove more reliable on the whole (all of them every built), but I am certainly impressed at the onset, and the warranty at the *very least* least assures me that I won't be out the purchase price if something goes wrong. [UPDATE] Once again I have purchased something on Amazon that dropped in price three days later (fifteen bucks). I really wish Amazon would implement a purchase price safeguard. [UPDATE] Contacted Amazon within 7 days and was refunded the difference!

One of the best PSUs I ever owned. Lasted me 10 years before I retired it. Ran everything from SLi 1080 Tis to RTX 5090s (with a fasgear cable). Just amazing value for money. If you can find one can keep it as a back up PSU. Mine still rocks and I am not selling it anytime soon. Comes with tons of cables.

I'm a computer aficionado. Been working on them for 27 yrs or so, building them, and everything in between. I work on a computer for most of the day. Sometimes up to 20hrs in a day. This thing is a beast. It's powering an Intel I7 5820k, 32gb Ram, Noctura cooling, 2x290x GPU's, 424i SC, 10tb HD's, 5fans in a Thor V2 case. Plus some more stuff. Great thing about it is it's not super noisy. A lot of the more powerfull PSU's are really noisy. I mean I'm part deaf(been standing in front of speakers since I was a kid, musician) and many of the high power PSU's you can hear in the other room. This one you can't. It's dead silent, but it is whisper quiet. I've only had it for 2 weeks, so far so good. Works like a charm. And it's got a 10yr warranty on it. Not only is the price great, but you know that this will probably outlast the rest of your computer build. Fully modular with plenty of connections, heck even the box is built tough!

This power supply is amazing! The packaging from EVGA is fantastic!! I've never seen such 1st class care and pride of workmanship in a power supply before! The power supply itself was sealed in a sturdy custom cube/rectangular fabric bag with a flap over the top that protected the power supply from dust etc. That flap was also secured with velcro. The manufacturer also packaged the most amazing velcro cable ties to wrap up your cabling inside the case. They had this amazing sturdy little lidless box inside the box that held all your modular cables so that they were easy to select -- this was so much better than just stuffing them in a bag. This whole user experience was just so well thought out! So much consideration, care and pride in this packaging. It was a true joy to open and use! They had a device/plug that you could attach to the end of a mother board cable so that you could test the PSU before you went and did all the cabling. I'd never seen such a thing before this PSU. This little device helped me eliminate the new PSU as a source of the computer issues. And questions I had were easily answered with a google video search. To me, when I tested the PSU alone, it seemed so quiet I had to put my hand to the fan vent to feel that it was indeed working. That was NICE! (admittedly, I hadn't turned off the other PC right next to my work station where I was testing this so I can't say with 100% certainty but I thought that was pretty impressive.) Everything about this purchase was top notch! I would definitely buy an EVGA power supply the next time I need such a device. I've never felt so pampered by a purchase of a PSU. This PSU is top of the line in my book!

You probably don't need this, in fact, most people would probably get away with a 600W supply and still have lots of power left over. But, if you do want or need all this power this really isn't a bad choice. It is reasonably priced in the segment and built well for the money. It's quiet, especially so when installed as "overkill" since it is barely breaking a sweat. But there are two important things you need to consider before purchasing: 1) It's a large power supply, you really should check the specifications of your case first to make sure it's going to fit lengthwise. 2) The 80+ rating of power supplies is based on a moderate load, percentage wise, relative to the overall power capacity. If this power supply is going to be way overkill for your set up it is going to be running much less efficiently than you might otherwise believe. So again, it's up to you whether you want or need 1300W but just keep efficiency in mind if you happen to be attracted to the 80+ specification.

This is an Excellent power supply. very well made and quiet!! wow! I use mine for mining and its running 6 x 3060ti fe + risers + motherboard + 6 x 120mm Fans and I still got room to spare. The 10 year warranty is a nice touch, shows EVGA is committed to their product and knows it has a quality power supply. I highly recommend it!

This powersupply is Huge ! too big for my case , amazon tell me it's not returnable ?! no where it's write that its a none returnable item... amazon tell me to talk to the manufacturer ... don't know what i could tell them , the psu is just to big ... they will not rebourse me for that since i have buy it on amazon... custumer service is a pain here ! Amazon customer service tell me to wait 3 days for investigation ! don't know what they will investigate... -_- big lost of time .

This is not a NEW item. I bought 2 and both boxes were not sealed and the items were dirty inside.

Works great, performance is good. it is quiet for my system build. I haven’t had any issues with EVGA products. would buy from evga again for my next build!
