It is also cool and quiet!

"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 £1000-plus build."

Awesome deal. The 1000W is a slightly worse deal per watt, but still amazing, as well. Now, I just have to decide which of the two I want to get before the rebate expires

Over 10 years, the 1000W works out to $10/year vs. $8/year for the 850W version. If you are going to be buying Intel Core i7 6-12 core CPUs over the next 10 years + overclocking them with 250W TDP dual flagship cards like 980Ti, I'd go for the 1000W. If however, you just want a great PSU for a single Core i7 6-12 core and a single flagship 300W card or perhaps dual-SLI/CF mid-range cards like GTX970s, then 850W is good enough.

Its too bad most of these deals with Visa Checkout code can only be used once. I used mine when I bought the 960GB Sandisk SSD. I guess its still a good deal without it, but I'll hope something better comes along on Cyber Monday.

Indeed. The 10-year warranty makes the worth of both without competition other than each other at these price points IMO. I am too poor for dual flagships, but I am primarily considering the 1000W just to keep options open since it is still an amazing deal; 10-years is a long time.

There are a few significant differences between the two, other than the wattage in regards to the things you have mentioned. Particularly, the physical length of the 1000W is longer. The 1000W also comes with additional PCIE cables (obviously, as you allude, this may beneficial for dual/tri cards), and an additional molex. However, the 850W has two SATA cables that are longer (750mm and 850mm instead of another 550m and 650m). Additionally, the 1000W has an additional certification, though I am guessing it is somewhat negligible.

The two longer SATA cables on the 850W is an annoyance when compared to the 1000W for me, but not a deal-breaker since I can probably find a solution if I ever needed to do so.

The 850W also lets me maximize my cost-savings when pairing with an H440 to replace my P182 with Visa Checkout and Amex ($50 off since over $200 cost, effectively, hitting the threshold for the dual-discounts at $225 instead of $245). Difficult decision :p

Wow, you've done a lot more research than me. In your case, if you aren't going dual-GPUs, 850W Platinum is MORE than enough. These prices are pretty incredible because when I bought my SeaSonic Platinum, its regular price was $269.99 US and I thought I got a great deal by buying it for $186.99. Even today, it still sells for $190, which makes these EVGA units pretty awesome value.

I did find the noise levels for the 1000W version and it's pretty impressive that up to 500W, it's inaudible. That means a Core i7 quad-core 6700K + GTX980Ti both max overclocked wouldn't even trigger the fan. What's even more impressive that once the fan turns on, up to 800W, the 1000W unit still stays in the 33-34 dBA range.

Here is the P2 850W model's noise levels.

34 dBA at 400W

39 dBA at max.

So while the 850W unit is quieter at max, the 1000W is quieter all the way up to 800W.

hehe hopefully you actually needed one for a new rig or for upgrading your components to more demanding parts in terms of power usage. :)

You caught me in the very early stages of planning for a new build. I can't say for sure what my power usage will be, but I suspect it will be only be in the 400-500 watt range. As I normally keep my builds for several years, I like to start each with some headroom on the power supply.

All that said, I wasn't expecting that the power supply would be my first purchase. :D
