Review on EVGA 750 BQ Power Supply, 750W, 80+ BRONZE, Semi Modular, 5-Year Warranty with FREE Power On Self Tester - Model 110-BQ-0750-V1 by Steven Lewis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Terrible, fan noise aside, games crash in less than a minute.

I replaced an almost 10 year old 730w PSU because my screen would flicker when the washing machine switched cycles or when you turned off the bathroom fan etc. Put this in, and the problem has been fixed. Great. Started my first game and after a minute it crashed. Rebooted, tried another game, crashed. Then I updated the Radeon drivers to try again, no it still crashes. Believe it or not, just running the radeon updater caused it to crash three times, the third time it miraculously updated after a reboot. I disassembled the PC, rearranged the GPU, RAM and power connectors, it still crashes. Out of curiosity I downloaded Furmark, it crashes in 5 seconds. Okay I'm done, installed the old 730w PSU and everything is fine again. This stupid thing is coming back to Revain where I will never buy anything from EVGA again.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
