The unit was fine but the output cable was broken

The power supply works as expected but I have noticed that it shuts down as soon as I move my computer. I asked my friend what he thought of it and he told me to check the main cable that connects it to the wall. I switched this with the monitor cable and now when I move the monitor to raise or lower it it turns off. Basically what I'm saying is that the cable was loose and defective. It's not a big deal now as I rarely move the monitor, but it would still be nice to have a perfect cable with…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Update available

I have 1 EVGA which is good and it's 4 years old - I think that does from time to time all bad PWS time. BUT. but this is the 2nd EVGA in 2 months on 2 builds. The irony was that my only source available was a cheap 350 watt 6 year old 25.00 that was as light as an empty kettle. - it worked - fan. although it didn't have any built in smarts/protection/fan controls etc etc - not sure if all that stuff added doesn't make them thinner or something. but my next build won't use them.

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Can I add something

Reliable and quiet: innards

This power supply has been running on my gaming PC for a month now and is working very well so far. It replaced an 11 year old power supply that was stuck. This PS is much quieter and I really like its semi-modular design. The thin cables for the SATA drives, graphics card, and other components are easily routed behind the motherboard tray in my Antec 900 case (which doesn't have much room behind the tray) and are conveniently spaced to avoid nearby ones Connect drives or stand slightly apart…

Pros
  • Durable build
Cons
  • Makes me angry

Solid PSU on internal PSUs

Had this item since Jan 2019 and passed away today. Was in the middle of a game and the whole computer just shut down. Popped it into my PSU tester and nah, so I started the warranty return process with EVGA. While it worked, the power supply was reliable and didn't disappoint. I will continue to update this review over time and the return process. Update 1: Everything works as advertised, I did some additional troubleshooting with my tester and a different power supply and narrowed it down to…

Pros
  • Like everything so far
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Almost perfect: internal components

I have a few issues with this product but they are minor and really the only reason why this product is losing a star. First, the cables for my SATA power supply could have been longer. It didn't quite get where I needed it. Another downside with the wiring was that it was a bit difficult to unroll the port. Maybe it's related to my case, but I've experienced it, so I rate it as I do. Qualitatively, it feels very solid and the braided power cord is nice. All black cables are great for almost…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
