EVGA Supernova 750 B2, 80+ Bronze 750W, Semi Modular, Includes Free Power On Self Tester, Power Supply

This PSU was a lifesaver. I bought a a brand new graphic card and a brand new PSU at the same time. I originally bought a Corsair PSU and payed almost the same amount. When combined with my graphic card it made a horrible whining noise that I mistakenly thought was the graphics card. Well, I went through multiple graphics card exchanges (EVGA customer service is EXCELLENT, another reason I selected an EVGA brand) and finally when the noise still didn't subside I decided to try it my old graphics card. When the PC still made the noise with the old graphics card installed I knew either something had broken or it was the new PSU. Sure enough, I sent the piece of trash Corsair product back to Amazon (their support is also awesome!) and received a credit to my account which allowed me to purchase this PSU.I don't know much about PSU I just expect it to "work". This one came with all the cords I needed and just "worked" right out of the box which is all I wanted. No noise, works great, and the unit feels firmer and more secure than the cheaper Corsair. The cords that came with this PSU do feel a little cheap and the SATA cable is too short to reach all my devices so I had to use 2 separate cables. One benefit the other PSU had a longer cable with more spacing between so I only needed one cable.Overall I have had this installed for about 3 months and is working perfectly. No strange noises, no overheating, and I now trust the EVGA brand because they stand behind their products and help you to exchange them in case of an issue. Truly a 5-star product!

This is a pretty great little PSU, more than adequate for my setup, and the materials are top-notch. It's not fully modular, the main cables are hardwired, but there were no unused cables included in the fixed main rail (i5 4670K and 980 TI). The modular cables are: SLI video, 4 SATA connections, and two molex (IIRC). This would support 2x980 TIs in SLI, but if you're going for a triple SLI build, you'll be short on cables.Unlike the Raidmax PSU that this replaced, this feels well-built and is delivering the correct amperage per HWINFO, allowing me a stable overclock on both CPU (from 3.5 GHz to 4.2 GHz) and GPU (+260 core clock and +450 memory). My previous raidmax couldn't deliver stable power to sustain those overclocks, which are both pretty minor, and the main 12v rail would drop power. And it was an 850W PSU. The fan also began the death rattle 2 months after the 1-year warranty ran out (the first PSU I've ever had that failed in this short amount of time).While reviewing a PSU this early is a little premature, it's listed as a Tier 2 PSU on Tom's Hardware, so I'm not worried. This is probably the best bang for the buck PSU that is out there. For $5 less, yes, you can get an 850W Raidmax - but seeing as mine died 2 months after the warranty expired, that approach won't save you money. I've had three dealings with the company (EVGA) and their support has been awesome. With a 10-year warranty on this PSU, I do not expect any issues.

I'm going to start this review off by saying that I am a fairly confident computer builder so I have a pretty good idea on how computers work.As far as power supplies go, this one seems to work very well. At the price I purchased this at for a relative, this was a steal and probably makes up for a major flaw I had with it (I will go into detail about that later in my Cons list). Being modular, this power supply is easier to do cable management because you don't have to use all of the cable's being provided to you. This is a very decent power supply.Here are my Pro's and Con'sPro's1. $50 for a 750 watt modular is a steal!2. Modular3. Cables are mostly covered in sleeves so there isn't ugly colors distracting your eyes if you have a windowed case4. Connectors feel sturdyCon's1. My biggest Con and should be known by anyone buying this supply is that 2 of the PCIe (or VGA) cables are not modular which is only a slight downer but the major downer is that these two cables don't seem to be producing enough power to power the thing they were designed to power! I'm not the only person that I've seen in the review section say the same thing but it's just kinda dumb that you can't even take these two cables out because they are not modular, this means that you have to hide them and use one (or even both) of the modular PCIe cables to work around this. Because of this, I have to hide these two extra unused cables as well as the ones that I am actually using. I know this machine was not using up all 750 watts of power because this machine was running on a 500 watt power supply before the swap, and even at that, the modular cables seem to be producing enough power.ConclusionLong story short, this is a great power supply for the money but be careful with the PCIe cabbles.

Pros: This is the best power supply you can get for $60. EVGA under-advertises once again, as reviews on Jonnyguru said this Bronze unit actually tested Silver efficiency. From my experience, the unit is nearly silent, and provides steady power to my components. The textured finish on the unit looks amazing.Cons: For such a high-quality unit, I'd expect EVGA to get rid of the ugly colored cables. Another silly thing they did was included two 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors directly attached to the unit, which leaves you with a pile of spaghetti for cable management when you could've bought your own modular sleeved cables and plugged them into the modular interface on the unit with no extra cables. Lame.
