EVGA Supernova 850 T2, 80+ Titanium 850W Fully Modular Power Supply with ECO Mode and Includes Free Power On Self Tester

I bought this to replace a brand new EVGA 1000w Gold that was DOA. This power supply was significantly more expensive than the 1000w, but I didn't really need 1000w and I did need this ASAP (next day delivery) so I reluctantly paid the extra money.What I like: all modular, use only the cables you need. All cables are very heavy-duty and bound in an unobtrusive black cable sleeve. I needed an 8+4 CPU power cable, this has 8+8 (4+4, 4+4), so this should work for future upgrades. It's also extremely quiet.What I don't like: The price, first of all - but oh well. I honestly don't care that it has a power-saving setting to prevent the fan from turning on except under higher loads - but the positioning of the switch for this setting is incredibly inconvenient; it's behind all the cabling, in fact you can't even see it once it's installed, nor can you reach it with the cables plugged in. As such, I just left the switch off, so the fan runs all the time. It's not loud at all, can't even hear it over my other fans.Since my purchase before this was the DOA EVGA, I was leery about buying the same brand again - but looking at reviews of other brands, DOA items are a gripe from all of them - just luck of the draw, I guess. I'm happy with this PS, but the price did hurt!

It is a great product at a good price. With the Titanium rating you know that you are getting a high efficiency power supply and with the name (EVGA) you can be confident in the quality. Some of the nice features of the power supply are:1. Jacketed Cables - For those of you doing open case builds or using windowed cases, the jacketed cables add a nice clean touch.2. 2nd CPU Jack - I've personally never used this feature, but for those of you with the funds, the CPU's and the proper motherboard this could be a nice feature.3. Cable Ties - Again for open builds or for good airflow the provided EVGA Velcro cable ties allow you to add a nice clean finishing touch by bundling or tying down your cables without resorting to zip ties or twistys. 4. Heavy Duty Protection - I've actually had a short in my electrical system (bad wall outlet which also caused a small fire) where I fried one of these power supplies. After dealing with the outlet, all I had to do was replace the power supply and everything down line (the CPU, the Motherboard, the memory, hard drive, etc.) worked perfectly. Honestly, that being said, I don't know what stronger endorsement I can give this product. It saved my computer and me thousands of dollars.5. Eco Mode - Generally users and gamers in particular like the quietest rig possible. After all who doesn't like to hear themselves think or to listen to the sound track of their video game. This particular power supply has an Eco mode, which means when it is only under a light load the fan doesn't run (which means no sound) and from personal experience when the fan does run it is very quite.Negatives - There are always a couple:1. Add2PSU - For those of you who want to daisy chain several of these together to power one computer (which is probably not the typical user) EVGA products apparently don't work with an Add2PSU Add2PSU Multiple Power Supply Adapter, which is a popular way to do this. This is from my own experience (with 3 separate Add2PSU's) and from reading similar user reviews. That doesn't mean that there are not other ways to do this, but an Add2PSU likely won't work.2. Finish - This one is pretty subjective, but if you are doing a windowed case or open build you might be going for a certain look. The rougher texturing on this power supply and the more rounded edges may or may not work with the particular look that you are going for. This one is more picky for sure, but could be an issue.3. Cost - Titanium power supplies will always be more expensive due to the higher end components used to obtain the higher efficiency rating. For someone on a budget their money may be better spend elsewhere. Unless you are pulling a lot of power continuously, the payback period on a higher efficiency power supply is usually pretty long.I've bought several of these, and I might buy several more in the near future :-)

I just unplugged my old evga modular psu and put this one in in a couple mins. It works good and it comes with any and every cable I could ask for! My couple year old evga 1000 watt platinum blew up a few weeks ago because of high humidity/intense condensation (I wasn't paying attention). I went to turn my pc on and a bright blue light came out of the back of the psu and I heard a loud popping. It saved all of my pc components from all damage, it took the fall and worked as it should. I decided to upgrade and I figured evga wouldn't rma the old one anyway. I'm pretty happy with these power supplies.Update 4/26/2017: My 1600W EVGA T2 is still working good but the fan has just started making a weird noise. Quality control needs to be improved. I'm thinking about doing an RMA because it's getting annoying, good thing for the long warranty. Also the fan is pretty damn loud, probably about 50 percent louder than my other fans. It's definitely the loudest fan in my case and I have 6 140mm Corsair case fans, a 120mm Corsair case fan, two 120mm Noctua CPU fans and three fans on the GPU. The fan on these are basically junk, they're extremely low quality. I spent about $430 for this and they just use some cheap noisy fan that probably costs them $3... There's no reason it should stop working correctly after only about 6 months and only being on a few hours a day.. The Antec fans in my old Antec 1200 case lasted like 6 years and still work fine to this day.. I would use Eco mode but when I do the PSU gets REALLY hot, like almost burning to the touch and the fan doesn't seem to turn on at all with Eco mode, even with heavy gaming/power usage with an overclocked 6850K and 780Ti.Update: Feb/01/2018The power supply fan no longer makes any weird noise and hasn't for a few months. I'm not sure why, but I'll take it! Changing review back to five star.

Installed in my PC way back in 2014, and it has been reliable until very recently. Good noise level, and nice quality cables too.If your PC starts having problems where it shuts off near full load, it would be worth investigating this PSU as that seems to be my problem. It seems like it can’t ride out the sudden power demand changes near full load.I had such a good experience with this PSU that I bought another as it’s replacement.
