Review EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5 Power Supply Review

[Admin]

The EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5 has a daunting task, to replace the 1000 G3 model which is among the best PSUs in the 1000W category.

Why the higher number tho, the G3 runs circles around this thing.

I hope pricing can reflec its sub g3 performance.

Its not bad, just not impressive.

It is a sad day indeed when EVGA's most go to series falls to this kind of offering. Hopefully, this will be much like the B3 units, and fade quickly away when they realize that their core market for the G2/G3/G5 type units aren't lemmings like those likely to buy the lower end offerings. Couple of bad reviews on the B3 models and that was about the last we heard of them. Maybe this will be the same and EVGA will do what is necessary to get this fixed. In light of the ongoing issues with relationships with Chinese partners, it would be a welcome change to see some of the more influential companies looking into creating facilities elsewhere, although I know that is an unlikely prospect give the considerations of rare earth material and other resource availability.

Apparently, EVGA burned the Super Flower bridge.

Which is kind of a shame in a way.

Some of their superflower derived psus were nice.

Most of them are, though. Consumers are real stupid.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Obviously you didn't read what I said, when I said "their core market for the G2/G3 type units". Those are not the stupid consumers.

The stupid consumers, are buying the W1, N1, B1, G1, BQ and BT type units. They are not buying higher end GQ, B2, P2 or T2 type units.

The stupid consumers are the ones who can't be bothered to read legitimate, reliable reviews. They can't even be bothered to ask somebody who HAS read them, for advice or guidance.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

I like to think of them as more ignorant or uninformed rather than stupid.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Definitely, some are just ignorant and some are just uninformed. Don't tell me you haven't come across a a good many that were, well, leaning a bit further towards the end of the spectrum.

Thank you !!!!

The one thing that confuses me about EVGA power supplies is why they name them after massive explosions. I mean, the last thing you want out of a power supply is an explosion.

 

[Darkbreeze]

I get it. But I think it was meant to be more about the prodigious amounts of energy that are released by a Supernova, rather than the fireworks display. Either way, I agree, they could have come up with something better.
