Conclusion

Anyone thinking of a mainstream PSU to power their next build should put the SuperNOVA 750 G2 on their shortlist.

There is a myriad of mainstream power supplies vying for your cash. 750W models offer a good compromise between capacity and price, and EVGA is keen to fill this slot with a high-quality offering known as the SuperNOVA 750 G2.

Equipped with a 10-year warranty, semi-fanless mode, fully-modular cabling and very strong performance in all of our benchmarks, typically rivalling those exhibited by vastly more expensive 80 PLUS Platinum supplies, there's a heck of a lot to like.

The price, too, is commendable. EVGA could easily have attached a significant premium to this high-quality PSU. Instead, available at £85, it's one of the cheaper 80 PLUS Gold models out there.

EVGA's taken an excellent foundation, improved it a touch, and backed it with a 10-year warranty. Anyone thinking of a mainstream PSU to power their next build should put the SuperNOVA 750 G2 on their shortlist. Recommended.

The Good

Great performance
Class-leading warranty
Hybrid-fan mode
Fully-modular design
Solid as a rock

The Bad

Flat cables would have been preferable

Dont think 750 is enough for a gaming pc.Many of the z87 mothervoards eat up a lot of Ampers- up to 350w + 350w for the GPU + 100w processor + Ram + Hdd's and youre out of power.
I got the 1300w G2 ,why not ! the price difference is not so big 30-50 euros and it will be silent .
Flat cables ? maybe shorter i had to compress them in front of a 140mm fan,thinking about cutting them short later,when ill have time,dont have the will to solder 50 wires at Once.

750W not enough? You can run a 780TI on a 500W system quite comfortably, 750W will give plenty of room for overclocking. I would only go above 750W for multiple GPUs now (I used to have a dual GPU in my system before getting the GTX680).

Agreed, most people i know run overclockered sytems of 650w psu's. Only real reason to go beyond this is if you have an awful lot of power hungry parts or dual gfx cards.

Put a watt meter on my PC an ran 3d mark firestrike, peak consumption was 540 watts.

Components:
4770k @4.6 ghz
Asus z87 pro mobo
7970 GHz edition in crossfire X2
1 ssd & 1 HDD
6 case fans on a 20 watt controller.
Corsair tx 850 power supply

This shows that anything over 650 watts is unnessisary.

Completely agree especially as PSUs are more efficient above 20% load. Buying an overkill PSU actually lowers the efficiency of the rig. Much better to spend extra money on a 80 PLUS Platinum than a higher watt PSU.
