Question 1

Does this PSU fit a standard size case? I just ordered a big case (750D) and I'm worried this is a slim model that won't fit into my rig without hanging loose. Has anybody tried to fit it into a big set?

Accepted Answer

Yes this will fit most any size case large or small. The slim design is to shorten the power supply for clearance in smaller cases

Question 2

Will this fit a 6PIN plus 8PIN GPU?

Accepted Answer

Fits perfectly with that pin configuration. It also has extra pins for an 8 pin plus 8 pin.

Question 3

Does it include 6-pin connector for gpu?

Accepted Answer

Yes is does

Question 4

Im planning to build my first rig soon, but I have no idea if it comes with the cables it lists. Does it just have ports for those, or does it come with them as well?             Sorry this is a dumb question and I'm not super experienced.

Accepted Answer

This comes with all the necessary cables to connect to the power supply. You most likely will have several unused.

Question 5

I have an older ATX case where the power supply mounts at the top,  can this be flipped so the intake is on the bottom and not obstructed?

Accepted Answer

The mounting screws will be on the back of the power supply so you can mount it upside up or upside down. So long as your case is designed to allow airflow from the bottom of the case, you will be fine. Just don't set your PC on top of a rug as that will prevent sufficient airflow. To answer your question simply, this is fine to mount with the fan facing down and you will have no clearance issues.

Question 6

Will this work with a ASUS AM4 TUF GAMING X570-Plus none wifi?  I am concerned about the 4pin + 8pin power connectors on the upper left side of the MB.

Accepted Answer

If you build a test system on pcpartpicker, you'll get this note: The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.

I currently run a different (but similar) X570 board with a 3950x, and a different (but similar) PSU (i.e. extra unused power connector), and it's running totally stably under consistent high load, but be aware if you're trying to push the limits of your system, you could run into issues.

Question 7

Will the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3 power 2 3.5" HDDs, 1 SSD and an optical drive? I see modular ports for SATA1 and SATA 2 and Perif 1 but I'm unsure if all 4 of my drives will get powered by 3 ports?

Accepted Answer

It will power those devices. Each SATA power cable that plugs into the power supply offers 3 individual SATA connectors. Meaning you will be able to power 6 SATA devices through those 2 modular SATA ports.

Question 8

Will this power supply work in a Hp Envy Desktop Model #850-150qe?   The HP part # is 746177-002.

Accepted Answer

If your HP desktop will accept standard size ATX power supplies, and does not use a different form factor or something proprietary, then yes it will work just fine.

Question 9

Is 650 it's peak or continuous wattage?

Accepted Answer

650 watts is the continuous wattage rating. Every power supply only delivers the power you need up until you overload it. The continuous wattage rating means that this PSU will deliver 650 watts power continuously 100% of the time 24/7. EVGA does not bother to list the peak rating.

Question 10

I installed the EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W PSU in my Lenovo Desktop Computer IdeaCentre 710-25ISH and noticed the PSU's fan stays on even after I shut off the computer.  Is this normal or is something amiss?  The only way to shut off the fan is to do it manually via the switch in the back of the EVGA PSU.  Any one else notice this and any tips?

Accepted Answer

You have to turn the ECO mode on, the fan should not be working unless the PC is using more than 20% of the wattage, double check your cable connections and the shutdown function on your PC. Try to connect the PSU itself to power while it's disconnected from your system, if the fan starts then the unit is not functioning properly, it comes with a 7-year warranty I think, you should replace with a new one if that's the case.
