Lower wattage options
If you own an 80 Plus certified power supply, chances are you have a high quality unit (not always, of course). However, if youre shooting for the moon, 80 Plus Titanium is as good as it gets, and EVGA now has more SuperaNova T2 80 Plus Titanium PSUs to choose from.
Initially only available in a 1,600W model, EVGA just added three new wattage options, those being 1,000W, 850W, and 750W. Like the initial 1,600W model, these are all 80 Plus Titianum certified featuring 94 percent (or higher) efficiency at typical loads (less energy is wasted as heat, resulting in less electricity use, is the short explanation here).
These are fully modular units right down to the main 24-pin ATX power connector. Youre not going to run a PC without it, but being able to detach all cables can help with tricky builds where maneuvering a PSU into place might not be easy.
EVGA also says its SuperNova T2 line is "whisper silent" thanks to an Eco mode that keeps the fan at idle during low and medium loads. It only kicks on when necessary.
Exact specs range by model, though all use a single +12V rail (83.3A on the 1,000W model, 70.8A on the 850W model, and 62.4A on the 750W model). All are also backed by a generous 10-year warranty.
Pricing breaks down as follows:
- EVGA SuperNova 1000 T2: $280
- EVGA SuperNova 850 T2: $240
- EVGA SuperNova 750 T2: $220
The 1,000W and 850W models are available now direct from EVGA; the 750W will be soon (you can have EVGA notify you when its in stock). And of course you can still purchase the 1,600W model, which EVGA sells for $430.
