The EVGA SuperNOVA G6 power supplies feature a new platform design, using new materials and better layout placement to achieve greater performance with extremely low ripple and noise in an even smaller chassis.
Essential Features
Next Gen Platform
With a full-Bridge LLC Resonant Converter, and DC-DC design, the SuperNOVA G6 provides rock-solid stability, relentless efficiency, and extremely tight voltage regulation.
Hardware + Firmware OPP
Hardware OPP is designed to trip at 135% max wattage as a last resort to protect the system, but the SuperNOVA G6 also features firmware OPP to anticipate harmful load behavior 5-10% sooner by shutting off the power supply when over-power conditions persist longer than 1ms while avoiding an instantaneous overload trigger protection malfunction during momentary peak wattage.
Smaller Size, Bigger Performance
The improved efficiency and voltage regulation minimizes heat, allowing the SuperNOVA G6 to be EVGA’s shortest ATX Gold-certified power supply.
Ultra-Quiet 135mm FDB Fan with EVGA ECO Mode
To reduce noise, the SuperNOVA G6 maximizes the time the power supply stays silent or quiet at low to medium loads when ECO Mode is enabled.
Protection
- (OVP) Over Voltage Protection
- (OCP) Over Current Protection
- (SCP) Short Circuit Protection
- (UVP) Under Voltage Protection
- (OTP) Over Temperature Protection
- (Dual OPP) Over Power Protection - Hardware + Firmware
Pros: -3 inches shorter than the previous PSU it replaced, yet with more power overhead. How? -Seriously, it's weirdly small, it doesn't make any sense. It's 250W sized, not 1000W sized. -Seasonic + eVGA = Winning combination. -With a 707W load, +12v only dips from to 12.170v from 12.175v. A+ regulation. -Go ahead and throw in a 3090/6900, it doesn't care about a highly transient load. -I have never heard this PSU make a peep. Even when the fan runs it barely spins. -10 year warranty -Could probably stand in as an arc welder if you needed it to.
Cons: -With Eco mode on, aiming an IR probe around through the grill, I picked up 80c, which is on the warm side. I trust that eVGA/Seasonic spec'd the components well, and it will probably tolerate Eco mode just fine for 10+ years, but I've opted to leave eco mode off. The PSU is still dead silent with eco mode off, but the IR probe only registers 51c which is much more comfortable for me. -I'm really reaching for things here, but good grief this was the smelliest PSU I've ever had to break in.
Overall Review: You probably don't need this PSU. It's probably overkill. It's a little on the pricey side. You'd probably be fine with an 850W unit. But if you're like me, and you never want to have the thought that "maybe my PC's issues are being caused by the PSU," then you've found your next power supply.
