Broke after a year and a half, warranty process turned into a swamp

My power supply broke, I needed to get the desktop working, so I went to Best Buy and got a replacement. Incidentally, the 700W replacement has a much cooler fan and is only $59.99. Most disappointing, however, is EVGA's attempt to deliver on its promise of a 7-year warranty. Your website is a mess, totally illogical and just plain broken. I have made an RMA request twice a week and each time I have received a response that they will be acknowledged immediately and further instructions will beโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Some bugs

Great value - works well so far

I bought this power supply to build a home file and media server (UnRaid) with 18 HDD, 7 SSD, 32 GB and an i7 9700 to operate, which is always on. Due to the "always on" nature of this app, I need to conserve power, hence the "gold" power adapter. Since it is a custom case, I need an SFX form factor (ATX is not suitable). I didn't want to break the bank either. This power supply was the perfect solution. I used it successfully thanks to the parity check running 10 disks (4 TB each) for 12โ€ฆ

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • A little shabby

Dead Silent: internals

I bought this because my Corsair SF450 was too loud under load. I didn't want to buy another SFX power supply, thinking the noise levels would be the same or similar, but damn I was wrong. This power supply exceeds all my expectations. It works comfortably with my nVidia 2070 Super and Ryzen 3600 in my ITX build and is completely silent. Can fully recommend this Corsair every day!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Very good power supply, short cords adjustable for

This power supply is perfect for my Nzxt h210 (mini itx) I assembled this computer a few days ago and it is absolutely silent. I've seen some people say the wires are too short and in some cases don't work, but if you have this problem you can just buy power supply extension cords, they look clean and are affordable.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Some flaws

Good SFX PSU but could be better

Overall this is a really good SFX PSU. I use this in the Cooler Master NR200. My CPU and GPU are a bit dated and not as power hungry as today's hardware. As a result, the fan in the power supply usually remains silent or does not even turn on. The cables are long enough for me and probably fit most small form factor cases. Anything larger than SFF can be a bit short. I only care about the quality of the cables. They don't have separate sleeves but are zipped at both ends and then connectedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models

Motherboard power cables are TOO SHORT!

Why save on motherboard cable length? I finally got my motherboard, Asus Prime B550-Plus, which is a standard ATX form factor, and with a power supply in my Fractal Design Focus G ATX Mid Tower case, the power supply sits under the motherboard and the 24-pin motherboard power cable costs. TOO SHORT to get from PSU to motherboard. If it was about 2 inches longer it would have worked, although even then with the minimum PSU to motherboard spacing it would be so tight that I doubt I could fit anyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
