EVGA Recalls Bad Batches of SuperNova PSUs
EVGA issued a recall notice to a small batch of SuperNova series PSUs, specifically models 1000 G2, 1000 P2, and 1300 G2, after it discovered a manufacturing flaw affecting entire batches. The affected batches went into distribution before October 1st, 2013; so if your unit was bought after that, it's not affected. The defect involves the lack of sufficient insulation material on the thermal pads of certain heatsinks, which could cause the overheat protection to kick in, and the PSU to shut down. EVGA set up a page where you can input the serial number of your unit, to check if it's part of the bad batch. If it is, you can apply for RMA, and the company will freely replace the unit (including shipping), and toss in a free EVGA t-shirt. The support page can be accessed here.

Seriously someone with a college degree came up with that stupidity. This is why I am against higher education except in Medical, Engineering and Law. Because everything else can be taught at a Vo-Tech. Seriously a PSU called "Super Nova"? No one caught that at EVGA marketing and SOMEONE is still paying off a useless college loan with great PR like "SUPER NOVA".
My faith in man and common sense is diminishing by the day.

And if these are his brothers i can say Best Buy products ! For any SLI or CF building !
+1 to what you said. I get when CPUs and GPUs have odd naming schemes because there's too many things that you can't reasonably fit in a name. But PSU have 3 main factors:
efficiency
maximum power
and quality
You can fit all that into 4 characters. For example a high quality 850W Bronze PSU would look like:
B85X
a cheap 560W gold would be
G56L
And the SF based units are damn good.
