EVGA Announces the SuperNOVA G3 Power Supplies
EVGA has announced today the evolution of their highly-regarded SuperNOVA G2 - the aptly named SuperNOVA G3. EVGA SuperNOVA power supplies are well-known for their extreme efficiency, performance and reliability, with the companies' series of power supplies having won over 70 awards from leading review sites for the last 3 years. With these new power supplies, EVGA took the best features of the award-winning G2 lineup and made them even better. The SuperNOVA G3's smaller size, improved performance and a new Hydraulic Dynamic Bearing fan give you ultra-quiet performance with an increased lifespan.
The new SuperNOVA G3 feature fully modular design with a reduced size, at only 150mm long, which EVGA stresses comes accompanied with an improvement in performance, features, and efficiency, with the company announcing an over 91% efficiency rating. All of this with a new, Hydraulic Dynamic Bearing Fan, which EVGA claims has better performance, quieter operation and longer lifespan, with the companies' ECO Intelligent Thermal Control System eliminating fan noise at low to medium loads.The G3 Series covers most of the power spectrum, with models offering your particular 550, 650, 750, 850 or 1000 W power requirements. The 1000 W, 850 W and 750 W power supplies feature a 10-year warranty, while the lower-end 650 W and 550 W models feature a shorter 7-year warranty. That said, all of the models feature 80 Plus Gold certification, with 90% (115VAC) / 92% (220VAC~240VAC) efficiency or higher under typical loads. Other features touted by the company are the presence of highest quality Japanese brand capacitors as well as heavy-duty protections including OVP (Over Voltage Protection), UVP (Under Voltage Protection), OCP (Over Current Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection), SCP (Short Circuit Protection), and OTP (Over Temperature Protection).
No pricing information was available at time of writing.

I personally went for the superflower instead of the g2 even though they are the same , especially now that they added the lighting on the evga too.
Awesome PSUs though.
I have various older 120mm sleeve fan psu's (even before bronze - and those worked for 5years +) and they all are quieter than this G2 650w with super-duper 140mm fan....
BUT G2 in passive mode (eco on) manages to run X99 platform with 100% CPU usage (but no GPU load) without turning on fan (that I hoped for - but was not sure) - so at the end it is the most quietest component in my system - so I am 100% happy now... but that G2 650w fan is complete garbage it whines ant ticks like cheap chinese sleeve fan - actually more - I have fooled around many cheapo fans at low speeds (where air movment does not make sound but bearing does)- none made such a noise.
