EVGA Announces New GE Series PSUs
The EVGA GE Series brings EVGA ECO Mode to hard-line power supplies for the first time. In addition to 80 PLUS Gold efficiency, GE power supplies have low ripple and noise, low power consumption, and tight voltage regulation for unwavering stability. The EVGA GE series allows you to enjoy your PC in peace and quiet.
The GE Series is EVGA's first non-modular unit with EVGA ECO mode to ensure the power supply stays completely silent during low to medium loads. The 120 mm fan does not spin until necessary, allowing for completely silent operation. Among EVGA non-modular power supplies, the GE Series is the most efficient power supply under load, has the least amount of ripple and noise, and better load regulation than its predecessors.Designed to meet the needs of system builders and everyday gamers, the GE Series uses a Hard-Lined design with only the most commonly used and needed cables for ease of installation. Power that is ready to go right out of the box.
EVGA GE series power supplies will be available in 800 W, 700 W, 600 W, and 500 W versions. The MSRP is set at $69.99 for the 500 GE, $79.99 for the 600 GE, $89.99 for the 700 GE, and $99.99 for the EVGA 800 GE.Features

Sleeve bearing fan? Yep.
Non-modular? Yeah.
Chinese secondary capacitors? Yes.
They'll probably still be alright if priced appropriately, but I'm mainly disappointed they aren't ATX 3.0.
Where are the atx 3.0 units? Everyone that's anyone has brought something to the show but EVGA? Not a peep and its almost Easter.
If I want to build a cheapo system for my parents or my sister who never gonna open it/check it etc.
As long as they are dead cheap and of good quality, who cares about the cables...
Graphics cards have had a semi-passive mode for a while now. First it was mostly for the higher end cards, then the feature was introduced even in cheaper ones. I consider that a good thing.
Also, "fans not spinning" can be beneficial for overall case cooling as well. Depending on the components and ambient temperature, case fans wouldn't need to spin 24/7 either. Most computers spend a huge portion of their uptime in idle or low-load anyway, so one can easily get away with a semi-passive fan operation for case fans.
That's why I applaud fan manufacturers releasing fans with "0dB mode", and why I wish more motherboard vendors would implement a "Fan Stop" feature in UEFI, just like Gigabyte has.
case fans 0db that's news to me, in decades of building PC's.
