Hi Guys,
Ive been running a Cheap Power Supply in my System since January and am looking to upgrade to the EVGA Supernova 750W Fully Modular 80+ Gold Power Supply. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it? its currently on eBuyer for £76.49 Is it worth it? how good is the product and the cables that are supplied with it?

Thanks, Dylan

There are several versions of the EVGA Supernova 750W. Check if it's the G2 Version (EVGA 220-G2-0750-XR) which is highly recommended as it is categorized as Tier-1. On the other hand, if its the NEX G Version (EVGA 120-PG-0750-GR), avoid it as it is categorized as Tier-4.

Tier-1 PSU's are "The highest quality and most stable Power Supply Units available. Protected by industrial grade protection circuitry and can output wattage at a rated maximum temperature of 50°C or below. These units are also Haswell certified, meaning they can cope with the C6 and C7 sleep states of 0.05Amps without triggering the under-current protection switch. May even go over labelled wattage and still work until it safely shuts down."...

May even go over labelled wattage and still work until it safely shuts down."

Tier-4 PSU's have "No Japanese capacitors found. Only Taiwanese capacitors and may even include Chinese capacitors. Very basic safety circuits or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice."

Here's a full list of PSU models and brands that are highly recommended and that must be avoided.

By the way, what is the current GPU you are running?
