Conclusion

...Ostensibly a derivation of a Superflower Leadex platform, the P2 has some of the very best performance we've seen from a consumer supply.

The premium power-supply market has just become more crowded with the release of the EVGA SuperNOVA P2 range of 80 PLUS Platinum-rated PSUs.

Ostensibly a derivation of a Superflower Leadex platform, the P2 has some of the very best performance we've seen from a consumer supply. Voltage regulation is nice and tight, ripple suppression is just outstanding, low-load efficiency excellent while the 10-year warranty is class-leading.

This near-perfect supply is only compromised by the cabling, where we'd recommend EVGA invest in some flatter, more malleable wiring that splits the 8-pin connectors into their own runs. Other than that, we see every reason to recommend this supply for anyone contemplating a Ā£1000-plus build.

The Good
 
The Bad

a perfect psu .. so glad I own a evga ..
if a company is willing to give you a 10yr warranty it has to be good .. :)
I bought the G2 version - so cheap for so much power - such a classy box, fittings, product. Highly recommend - check out my build https://pcpartpicker.com/b/MrjcCJ
Do yourself a favour and buy CableMod set for this. EVGA cables are legendary inflexible.
10 years warranty!! I would go for it just for the warranty itself .
I think would rather go with one of the SeaSonic based PSU's brands like XFX over EVGA.
