You can replace it with any PSU of the appropriate wattage. The P2 is a good unit.

unless it's the same model, you should install the new PSU with it's own cables. even if the connectors on the PSU end seems to match, it really does not mean they are wired the same. EVGA does not have a PSU fab and orders the production from different companies. So there could be a variance in wiring.

As a side note, as far as i remember, G2 comes with a 5-10 years warranty (depending on the model) so may be you can just RMA it.

The EVGA G2 has a 7 year warranty. EVGA has excellent customer service. I would see about an RMA, they should replace it.
