Review on πŸ’ͺ EVGA SuperNOVA 550 Ga - 80 Plus Gold 550W Power Supply with Compact 150mm Size and 10 Year Warranty by Justin Frazier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Highlights Compotent

I built a few PCs when I was a gamer, professional quality control for work and family/friends in general. Take my rating for what it's worth to you. Why I Bought This: I bought this PSU because the PSU is the most important competency for my builds for me. I have only ever completely lost one computer and all of its components to a failed power supply (boom, lots of smoke and all parts were burned). That's why I choose the gold version from well-known brands (EVGA is the standard in my eyes). The build you see is a micro-ATX mobile device (ASRock 450m Pro4 - BIOS version 4.60) with a Ryzen 3700X processor down to 1.13751V and a power consumption of only about 7W idle and by default overclocked to 4.4GHz. be higher as I prefer to work to project specs. CPU is on: Idle: 30 CelsiusMax Temp: 65 CelsiusGPU is on: Idle: 30 CelsiusMax Temp: 70 Celsius Temp Southbridge: 30 Celsius What I do with it: I run QA tests on this machine in the gaming industry through game torture tests. When I'm not working on it, this machine works fold@home in times of Covid-19 and other serious illnesses. In other words, I built this car to drive it through the mud for as long as possible. I believe that such a power supply will give me 5 to 7 years of trouble-free operation. Most of my retired builds are over 9 years old and all have a gold version power supply.
