System Load Indicator Bars
System load indicator LED bars display the real-time load of the power supply in 5 levels, measuring 20% load for each increment.
Extremely High Efficiency
At only 130mm length, the SuperNova G7 finds enough space to pack a half-bridge LLC Resonant Controller with a DC-DC design, along with 100% Japanese Capacitors and better layout placement to reach near-Platinum efficiency and provide tight voltage regulation and extremely low ripple and noise.
Ultra-Quiet 120mm FDB Fan with EVGA ECO Mode
Despite their size, the SuperNova G7s remain whisper quiet with a 120mm FDB fan. EVGA ECO mode provides an ultra-quiet experience under 50% load, which can be monitored via the System Load Indicator Bars.
World leading EVGA warranty and support for 10 years.

Pros: - 10 Year Warranty (+3 years over the SuperNOVA G3s at this wattage) - Small Footprint (same as G3s) - 135mm fan vs 130mm fan on G3s - EVGA customer service is generally known to be the industry's best
Cons: - The internals are not made by Super Flower (unlike the G3s) which is generally regarded as the best in industry. FSP makes the G5 generation and don't share such a high reputation. - Poor cable wrapping on the modular cables. The cable wraps are so loose I can easily see through them! Not a problem on my G3/G1. - Accessories are a downgrade vs G3/G1. Both my previous SuperNOVA PSUs came with cloth bags that I could keep the extra PSU cables and other accessories in. Just a thin, clear bag for G5.
Overall Review: Overall, I can't really complain about anything of real substance on this product; it works and hasn't caused me trouble. The fact that EVGA changed manufactures of the internals concerns me, however I think there aren't any red flags so far so only time will tell. There's a review on eTeknix (850w) that thinks this is the best thing since sliced bread, and then there is also a review of the 750w on Tomshardware that is less positive; I recommend reading those reviews to make an informed buying decision.
