EVGA Launches SuperNOVA 1000W and 850W Gold ATX 3.0 FTW Series PSUs
Introducing the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 W/850 W Gold FTW Series - The power supply series designed to support up to 235% total power excursion and exceed the needs of today's most powerful PCs. With a half-bridge LLC resonant controller, DC-DC converter, and 100% Japanese Capacitors, the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 W/850 W Gold FTW Series gives you the peace of mind to push your system to the limits.
Designed to support current and future standards, the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 W/850 W Gold FTW Series is fully-compliant with ATX12V V3.0 and PCIe Gen 5.0 standards. This means you can use these power supplies with your current system or the system you want to build. More to the point, these power supplies are built to support up to 235% total power excursion and respond significantly faster to transient spikes, ensuring your card and system stay safe and fully powered at all times.
235% Total Power Excursion
The EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 W/850 W Gold FTW Series power supplies support up to 235% total power excursion and up to 300% GPU Power Excursion. This means that these power supplies can handle over 2x its rated wattage and up to 3x GPU sustained power for short periods of time. Rest assured that your current or future system will be able to handle a momentary spike in power usage.
Native 12VHPWR Thermal Protection Design
The EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 W/850 W Gold FTW Series features a native 12VHPWR PCIe connector delivering up to 600 W power output that also eliminates cable clutter. Prioritizing safety and protection, an advanced thermal protection circuit has been added to the 12VHPWR PCIe connector on the PSU side. This circuit serves to safeguard both your power supply and graphics card. If the connector is not correctly connected or if temperature anomalies are detected in the 12VHPWR PCIe connector, the circuit will activate an automatic shutdown. This added protection is particularly important to prevent potential overcurrent risks that may arise during heavy loads from your graphics card. This combination of efficient power delivery and proactive thermal protection ensures optimal performance and reliability in your system.
LLC & PFC MOSFET with Optimized Transistor Package
The LLC & PFC MOSFET incorporates an optimized transistor package that brings significant improvements to its functionality. This package design offers double the heat transfer areas and four times the power dissipation capability, resulting in superior temperature ratings. By managing the heat generation, the optimized transistor package enhances thermal efficiency, ensuring a highly reliable and durable performance for your power supply system.
Near-Platinum Efficiency Performance
The EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 W/850 W Gold FTW Series incorporates an optimized transformer that delivers exceptional performance. Through upgrades, this power supply unit has achieved an efficiency level approaching Platinum standards.

edit: and 220$ on Newegg
It's no coincidence that SI's often only offer Corsair modular PSUs. If you buy one PSU every few years, it doesn't really matter, you put the spare cables aside and get them later. I buy 100+ PSUs a year and if there's ANY chance that the cables I have put aside could short-circuit, fuse-blow, or destroy hardware because of a pinout mismatch then I'm absolutely not using that brand of PSUs, period. Not now, not until they have standardised, promise to keep doing so with backward-compatibility, and have been doing it long enough that I can't easily purchase older, pre-standardised stock that risks fire, damage, or worse though pooly-labelled and undocumented loose cables in unmarked bags!
It's such a simple thing, how do so many PSUs brands f*ck it up after all these nearly 15+ years of making modular PSUs?
For every OEM out there, the modular cabling differs.
And yes, considering their variety of OEMs, it's no wonder EVGA can't have a consistent cabling across their PSU lineup.
Having a 3 year warranty on this product makes me think EVGA does not plan on staying around all that long
IIRC the Corsair pinout standard is a royalty-free open standard. I'll have to double-check that but there's no valid reason for this dumb problem to still be a thing.
I'm not singling out EVGA, but perhaps they should try harder than being a mediocre B-tier PSU brand if they've just lost the lion's share of their business by exiting the GPU market. They hjave more reason than any other manufacturer to make customers want their PSUs and the lack of consistency (plus a few reputation-destroying garbage-tier PSUs to their name) sure as hell aren't helping their cause.
Honestly without Jonnyguru or someone else deep diving these (WIP here I know) I don't even bother.
Just get Seasonic branded with a good warranty and call it a day.
Also... wasn't this launched last month as the XC? Even the box is the same: www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare?CompareItemList=17-438-249%2C17-438-251&compareall=trueTechnically, EVGA isn't the ODM. They just ask the OEMs to label their products. For example, this PSU is the same as the GT, made byt HEC, but with a 12VHPWR connector on it.Nah. That's ok. I'll pass. ;-)
At the end of the day, it's not necessary for it to be $20 more. Especially since nobody even needs the 200% power excursion capability, never mind 235%.
I think id skip anything EVGA until we see something new.
Or maybe I'm remembering it wrong....
As far as I'm concerned, let everyone use Type 4. That means more aftermarket cable sales!
Currently, MSI, XPG, BitFenix and a handful of Thermaltakes (unfortunately, not all) use Type 4.They don't want to give customers the false hope that they'll be around longer than 3 years. Maybe for that extra $20, they should give the customer a "free" Asurion or Allstate extended warranty so if they EVGA goes belly up in three years and the PSU goes tits up in five, the customer is covered.
