About EVGA Power Supply

[Balakrishna Prasad]

Hello! I am planning to purchase a new Power Supply for my PC and willing to buy/pick one (650W) from EVGA G3 series. Just to make sure, is it a good obvious choice regarding it's quality and performance? I wanted a minimum of 'Gold' efficiency when it comes to the PSUs. I have also seen 'EVGA P2' series having quite similar prices, I mean 650W. And also, as if it is Gold or Platinum certified, will a 650W (Gold/Platinum) can sufficiently handle SLI if I may plan in future like GTX 1070?

Thanks in advance!

My PC specifications:
Intel Core i5-6500 3.20 GHz
Kingston HyperX Fury 8x2 DDR4 2133 MHz
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD 7200 RPM
ASUS MAXIMUS VIII RANGER Motherboard
ASUS STRIX GTX 1060 6GB

The Good:

• amazing voltage regulation
• better than excellent ripple control
• smooth power on transient behavior
• fully modular
• lots of connectors
• semi-fanless mode can be disabled

The Bad:

• HAHAHAHA!

The Mediocre:

• extremely minor nitpick - let's do away with the in cable capacitors now, yes?

And also, as if it is Gold or Platinum certified, will a 650W (Gold/Platinum) can sufficiently handle SLI if I may plan in future like GTX 1070?

Yes, but a single card solution is the way to go (ie, selling the 1070 and buying a faster single card if ever needed). There are a lot of issues with games and multi-card setups). You can read through the video card section where a lot of owners talk about their various issues with performance.

This information is enough to make me go for it.

Well, the 650 P2 is not to shabby either:

You can't make a bad decision! So you have a great 750 G3, a great 650 P2, and a probably great 650 G3. If you are not in a hurry you can wait for a sale.

The P2 650/750 has a 10 year warranty (with registration, I think) and a 140mm fan. The 650W G3 has a 7 year warranty while the 750W G3 is 10 year, both with a 130mm fan.

Thank you for this comment.
I bought my P2 20 days ago and had no idea that I wouldn't get the full 10 years warranty without a registration within 30 days of purchase!
