EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 220-G2-0650-Y1 80+ GOLD 650W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: I'm running a z170 gigabyte board with a 6700k OCed to 4.6GHz using air, running a 256G 950 Pro pci-e 3.0 x 4 with 16g of Tridentz running at 3400 plus my gigabyte 1070, with the evga superNOVA 650G2 running the whow show in the background, I don't notice it. The best PSUs I've ever owned (like a 600W PC Power and Cooling I bought 10 year ago that still runs strong), I just don't notice them, that's the pro. They do their job and stay out of the way.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I really was not in the market for a new psu bu to run the 1070 on this system I needed more cables than I had on my old PSU. So I did a little research and found this, great price X quality point, and bought it. No regreats. Only the second modular psu I've owned and this one is much better, more solid, cords are plenty long. But it.

Pros: -modular -sleeved cables -quiet with or without the fan on -excellent warranty service with long warranty

Cons: -first one was defective and required RMA

Overall Review: I've always ordered SeaSonic and never had an issue with a PSU. I was tempted to keep my SeaSonic S12-500 for my new build, the PSU that I bought in 2008. But I wanted a PSU that had a warranty "just because." But I had heard great things so instead of going with the SeaSonic manufactured GS model, I went with the Super Flower manufactured G2 model. The first unit was, as mentioned before, defective. After a few weeks of problem free operation the G2 began to have problems powering on. I'd press the power button, the fans would spin up, the mobo's LEDs would come on, then the CPU fan would stop spinning and the system would fail to post. I'd power on again and all would be fine. I originally suspected other components, but after swapping out nearly everything, I went with my old SeaSonic and the system ran fine. I contacted EVGA who did a free cross-shipped RMA. I paid nothing and the service was very fast. The new PSU works just fine.

Pros: It really is quiet, even with the ECO mode turned off. Seems like a very good unit overall, I like it. I had a tech question so I called EVGA tech support. It was the best tech support I've gotten from anybody in a very long time.

Cons: No cons really, but for minor suggestions: The 24 pin MB connector has a pretty high insertion force into the MB, and the SATA connectors at the drive end are a little harder to insert than some others I've used. I don't like to use a high insertion force on motherboards. It might be better if the MB plug was in 2-pieces instead of all in one. The printed manual is very vague about the use of the "self tester". In general the manual is not great. I downloaded the online version of the manual, which is a pdf. Usually you can search a pdf for any word you want to find. But in this case there were large parts of the pdf that were non-searchable text, like pictures instead of text. One of my pet peeves is non-searchable text LOL!

Overall Review: At first I thought my unit was DOA. It would come on for about a second, then go back off. I could recycle it and do that again by turning the main switch off and back on. That was with it installed in my computer and everything hooked up. That's when I called EVGA tech support. What I found out from Garrett at tech support was this: The pin-out of their connectors at the power supply end is not necessarily the same as every other manufacturer, even though the plug itself physically fits. I was re-using the SATA power cables that had come with a Sparkle Magna 900 a few years ago. Turns out that was the problem. I put the EVGA cables in there, to all the SATA devices, and that fixed it. Different pinout, wow. I would think the ATX standard would make that a no-no, but apparently not! Anyway, good ending, everything is fine with it now, and nothing was damaged by having the wrong pinout cables in there at first. When the wrong cables were on it, the PS would sense a fault and turn itself off, after about 1 second.

Pros: Fully modular, you can use only the cables you need resulting in less clutter. Quiet, can't even hear it over the sound of my window AC unit running. 650w is more than enough for most systems unless you are building a monstrosity. Black sleeved cables are aesthetically pleasing and are perfect if you are building with a windowed case for viewing.

Cons: None so far...

Overall Review: I had intended to use this power supply for my Ryzen build but my antec 620w finally started crapping out on me after 7 years of use (computer was shutting itself off at random without saving causing it to ask me to enter windows in safe mode) so I went ahead and installed this bad boy into my current Q6600 build and so far everything is working flawlessly, thank you!

Pros: Insanely good ratings from johnnyguru no shipping damage on mine excellent modular design comes with extremely good packaging, extras smells nice fit perfect in the case smells real nice 7 year warranty from evga smells fairly good. Powers my 1080 with no hiccups or issues

Cons: None so far! we'll see how it holds up in the long haul.

Overall Review: (the smell thing is a joke. I can't smell)

Pros: Tough skin. Modular (sorta). Nice mesh on cables. Quiet.

Cons: Wish they put 4 SATA power plugs on one power cable, instead of just 3. Wish the VGA power cable ended in two 8pins instead of a 8,6.

Overall Review: My rig has 4 SATA drives, and my older Corsair PSU had 4 plugs on one cable. This EVGA PSU has just 3 on a cable, forcing me to plug in a whole nother cable of 3 plugs to get that last one. Also, I have a GTX 980 Ti, that wants to 8 pin connectors. While the VGA cables from this EVGA PSU ends in a 8 pin and 6 pin. So I have to plug the second VGA power cable in, and then tie back the extra 6 pins away from things. Makes for a messy look, to have all these extra dead plugs, when its a modular power supply. I'm nit picky though. The power itself seems strong and robust, no fluctuations from monitoring, and its silent, very silent.

Pros: This is a top-tier power supply on Tom's Hardware - and it's most likely the only one you'll ever be see for less than $120. When I first turned it on I was SHOCKED at how quiet the fan was. I wasn't even sure it was running. (And in eco mode, it probably wouldn't have been running at all.) The construction appears to be the most durable I've seen. I'm pretty sure that I don't need to worry about a field goal kicker practicing with my power supply - but if that was a concern, I think this one would probably survive it without blinking. Even the paint seems indestructible. Comes with a nice fabric case (with velcro closure) to keep your spare cables in. A seven-year warranty? Yes, please!

Cons: The only thing I noticed that I could even consider complaining about is that the fan grill is pretty flexible. If you had cables or a component pushing on it, then the grill would drag on the fan. (So when you install it, be sure that pressing up against the bottom side.)

Overall Review: If you don't need more than 650 watts (and unless you're running three video cards at a time, you don't need more than 650 watts) then I think you would be hard-pressed to find a better value on a top-quality power supply. Be sure to do your research on whatever power supplies you are looking at. If you are getting more power than you really need, you're wasting your money. And if you don't see your EXACT, specific PSU on this list, DON'T BUY IT. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html (click on "see full content" in the first post)

Pros: EVGA's high end supplies are some of the best in the market. Packaging is great too. This is easily supporting the following components: 1. Ryzen 2700 processor 2. X470 Taichi board 3. 16GB RAM 4. 5 x 1TB Mechanical drives 5. 2 SSDs 6. 1 m.2 drive 7. Nvidia Titan GTX 8. 6 x 80mm cooling fans.

Cons: None.
