EVGA SuperNova g2 vs GQ

[TurtleyAwesome]

Hello Everyone!

I was curious as to which would be better to buy, the EVGA SuperNova 80+ gold G2 750w or the GQ version? What are the pros and cons. From what I have read the GQ seems like a good deal and cheaper (as of right now) but I may be mistaken. Either way I would lie to know why they are difference

Thanks for the help!

Both power supplies are technically fine, but the GQ unit has less voltage regulation than the G2. I would personally always go with the G2 unit myself, but that is because I worry about these things over the long term. The GQ will still work well, but it will probably only last 90% as long as a G2 unit.

As far as pros and cons go, the G2 will perform better under heavy load and should last a little longer. Under moderate load (say 70% or less), the differences are trivial.

There are reviews of both types of EVGA power supplies at JonnyGuru:
