Came across this on CamelCamelCamel. From what i recall the EVGA supernova stuff is nice. Would jump on it if I was in need, sadly not. Also trying really hard not to hoard PC parts.

Bought this 6 months ago for about $80. Works great so far. Using x570 tomahawk, 1660ti, 16gb ram 3200, and Ryzen 5 5600x. No issues whatsoever gaming with overclocked GPU and work multitasking.

This is GOOD feedback for Slickdealers, IMHO. Thanks,

Quote from againareku :
Auto eco isn't very intelligent so the fan runs low even at load, which means a LOT of heat. About the fan orientation, it is about the way it's installed vs the GA. There are no teardowns so I can't link you but if you have both PSUs in front of you then you'd notice the difference.

The GA with the manual switch means eco can be turned off and the fan ramps up accordingly.

Not sure I can trust what you are saying. I have both the GA and the GT. The fan is not running at all on tbe GT, confirming auto-eco works perfectly. Also, I don't see any difference between the fan orientations in these 2 models.

The fan is not running, that's exactly the problem

There is no way to control your fan curve on the GT

Thermals are going to be worse. There's no way to disable the auto eco. Running a faster GPU and the GT is asking for trouble

The GA gives the option to disable auto eco, which is important for hotter systems.

I guess each use case is different. For me, the psu not even warm, so the fan not spinning is not a problem. Quite the contrary, less noise.

If you arrange your case fans for positive pressure an efficient PSU like this should be fine. It will probably be fine regardless. It has a 7 year warranty and is considered "Teir A" on this list:

This has been on sale for a few days now. Anyone interested might want to jump on it. I can see it ending anytime. I ordered a couple G3's, thinking about ordering a couple of these but not sure it's worth it.

I haven't found any particularly in-depth reviews of either this or the GA version, but jonnyguru did just post this last week in favor of the GT over the GA: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1...t=14841803 [linustechtips.com]

I know johnnyGURU works at corsair now (has for the past decade), but I rather trust him in terms of internal bias. Would pass on GA because of his opinions.

HEC used to be a poor OEM, but it seems they improved quite a bit.

There is also a GQ for $45 and a G+ for $60. To say that I am confused as to what to go with is a massive understatement.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017HA3...EN3TT3SXN3

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797CD...FFRSPRH4JQ

The GT is the best value of the 3. It's the same if not better than the G1+, is shorter and is much better than the GQ.

This model is newer (GT) and supposedly not oem by SF but more likely FSP or some other mid to low tier so be aware.

Bought it on b stock for 45 thinking what a fantastic deal. Worked for 30 minutes and kaput. At least it didn't damage anything but @ $20 per RMA shipping I'm only doing it once (1 yr warranty on evga b stock also the clever fellas).

Got lucky and used a evga 600w white that goes on sale here from BB often and it lasted 5-6 years so I'm not too worried about any psu not being from a top tier manufacturer. With all the deals everyone who checks SD and needed a PSU probably has an EVGA somewhere haha
FSP makes plenty of good units. I would expect all EVGA's with 7-year warranties to be good though. Maybe I need to be more careful with them?

As a rule, I only take Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, Silverstone, and XFX without reviews. But as you can see with XFX on my list, my data is a bit old. Lately, I'd been going with EVGA units with longer warranties as a "safe" recommendation for people.

If it's good enough for JonnyGURU, it's good enough for anyone.

I ordered the G3 too. Any idea how the G3 and GT lines compare? (Are OEMs consistent across the product line?)

G3 is a better PSU reaching plat eff on 115v. (cybernetics independent testing) on some individual samples. Seems to be consistent across both 650/550w units.

Aris (PSU tester with thousands in equipment) considers it a really good PSU with minor issues. Only considers stuff like the corsair RMx line better in same category due to quieter noise curve, granted slightly lower eff. Seasonic focus PSUs are also in the same category but have more ripple than the Super Flower G2 and G3.

Anything under 30mv @ 12v is usually really good, but the G2 (8mv 550w unit sample) and G3 (13mv 650w unit sample) are under 20mv which is exceptional.

G2/G3 is Super flower
G5 is FSP
GT is HEC
GA is Andyson and apparently not reaching gold consistency and has poor voltage regulation according to johnnyGURU on the specific tested retail sample. You do get a shinny 3 more year longer warranty though I guess.


HEC used to be a poor brand in terms of PSUS (Cheap thermaltake TR2 units used to blow up a decade ago), but they seem to have improved a bit.

The Cougar GX-F line is pretty much a slightly worse version of the EVGA GT. The 750w Cougar unit that was tested seems to have very low ripple.

I would agree that the GT is likely the best option out of the bunch right now if you cant get a G3.

Nah like I was talking about earlier I had a junky white evga last 6 years till I replaced it with a EVGA 650 GM. Should be fine for the most part no need to worry, so far I just had a lemon I guess...

Seems like this is HEC brand which I dunno...

Thanks. Great info and details! Repped.

I actually have a Cougar in my wife's machine right now because it was the best thing I could find last year.

I remember all those terrible Thermaltakes and still stay away from that brand. They supposedly have some good units, but the fact that they were willing to sell those when Corsair or Seasonic never would've considered it puts them in a bad spot in my book.

HEC OEM, but EVGA branded. Pretty much only Seasonic brands ones they build.
(I mean, Superflower does too, but they're not one of the top selling brands.)
