EVGA Announces New GE Series PSUs

[GFreeman]

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.

Thanks but no thanks. No modular - EoL.

 

[GoldenX]

I will gladly take lower prices on a good quality product. Who cares about 2 extra wires.

 

[Hyderz]

most cases these days have ample of side panel storage for wiring

I rather keep those extra wires inside the computer than somewhere else

 

[sLowEnd]

Let's see where the cost cuts are...

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.

 

[maxfly]

Swell. These sound just dandy.

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.

As far as my builds are concerned, I have only used an EVGA PSU. The T2 line of power supplies is one of my favorite lines of power supplies. I was shocked that they offered a PSU that could barely handle a 4090 alone, with the GPU power increasing.

I like it. Semi-passive operation is a great feature that needs to become more widespread, even in budget oriented PSUs. Sacrificing modularity for semi-passive operation is actually a net positive, in my opinion. I would even go as far and say that the lack of semi-passive mode in higher end PSUs should be frowned upon and points should be deducted in reviews. Any "high end" PSU that lacks a semi-passive mode is just... sad.

i have fans sniping on my PC all the time, one more makes no difference as long as it's silent

...come on.
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...

It isn't just about noise. Semi-passive mode helps to increase the fan's lifespan, which is very frequently the component in a PSU that is the first to fail. Also, less dust in the PSU.

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.

Evga psu division is the most mismanaged business i have evee seen, so many useless products and only a handful of good ones, by the time you see them your just so done by all the confusion

with a common 10 year warranty, the PSU will become obsolete faster then the warranty runs out, if the fan fails you can get a brand new model PSU, let it fail. GPU's do get very dirty, but PSU's usually are behind a dust filter. Don't seem like real issues to me. I don't mind it either way.

case fans 0db that's news to me, in decades of building PC's.

I do see your point. But, will you buy for comparison your parents a car without AC in 2023. model? ;D modular cables is old invention....

Unfortunately no, the very popular td 500 mesh is an example of both a pretty good case but also one that lacks what u said it does, I also see a shit ton of the "XL" versions of cases gaining no width whatsoever. How these manufacturers believe people will care more about a cm or 2 less of width over an order of magnitude easier cable management on the back panel is beyond me. Most mid towers now days bank on you having 0 hard drives for ample cable managements smh.
