EVGA Announces SuperNOVA 1300 G2 Power Supply
EVGA has announced the arrival of a new power supply: the SuperNOVA 1300 G2. As the name indicates, it is a power supply capable of delivering up to 1300 W.
The unit is built on a single (deadly) 12 V rail -- one capable of providing up to 108.3 A. The unit also has a fully modular design, uses high quality Japanese solid state capacitors, and is pending certification for Nvidia SLI.
The SuperNOVA 1300 G2 is also 80 Plus Gold certified, meaning that under typical load conditions, it is up to 90 percent efficient. With such a level of efficiency, the unit can get away with cooling by a silent 140 mm fan.
EVGA gave no word on when the device would be in shops, nor did it release any pricing information. Sources do indicate a retail price of $229.99, though. Perhaps it's a bit expensive, but the good news is that the device will come with a respectable 10-year manufacturer warranty.
The 10-year warranty is very attractive though. The price is great, too, for that level of PSU, Mr. Broekhuijsen was a bit off with his "bit expensive" comment. Hopefully it's made by a top OEM, like Seasonic.
I would think if the power supply was plugged in would that happen.
