Review on 💡 EVGA 210-GQ-1000-V1 1000W GQ 80+ GOLD Power Supply – Semi Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 5 Year Warranty, Black by Brett Zhu

Excellent power supply. I had to return one of the three because it was used. Wow. That being said, the half module isn't actually that bad, and actually quite useful, since what you always use to connect to the motherboard is the main power supply, so not having a full module isn't a problem for me. EVGA also has great customer service which I have found so I am very happy with their products. 1000W is more than enough for what I use and for my mining rigs I double it to 2000W to account for some overhead (80% max load target). What I love about EVGA and their PSU design is that they actually have a LABEL that says which cable goes with which model. I was surprised when I bought other brands like Seasonic and Thermaltake (one of the worst around) and found that they don't quite brand their model. The GQ and G3 (the other one I bought) have this mark on the connectors. So if you buy multiple power supplies of different models and brands, you will know which one is EVGA. That little attention to detail comes through in their quality assurance I think and I commend their brand for that. I used to buy 80+ bronze, which is usually enough for gaming, but I wanted something more efficient for mining, so I went with gold. Other setups also have platinum (but not titanium). I find that 80+ gold is a must to run a mining rig or environment like a server (I have over a dozen of these power supplies).
