Excellent response time and responsiveness to pre-installation questions from EVGA Technical Support (phone and email). Very easy to install.

First of all and very important for me (not to fry my MOBO and components): great response - timely and helpful via phone and email, from EVGA tech support to my MOBO specific pre-install questions . Ease of installation. Much fewer cables inside the case (thanks to modular cables). I love that it comes with a PSU test tool - a simple 24-pin bridged connector that mimics a MOBO connector that you plug into the appropriate cable with ATX pins (20+4) and the PSU in front test the installation. This is a simple test: the fan in the PSU will either start or not run when the PSU switch is turned ON when plugged into an AC outlet. mine was good It's already installed and works great. I'm deducting a star because, although the package arrived intact and in excellent external condition, one of the prongs on the power cord's plug was bent (see photo). The lack of damage to the packaging means that the cable was not properly tested when the packaging was assembled at the factory. However, it took pliers and a gentle, gentle twist to bend it straight again, and as explained, pre-installation testing showed a working product. So okay, but you should pay attention to quality control when packing. They say that "the devil is in the details".
