Only 3 Years warranty?

Only 3 Years warranty?

Seen that too. Fine as long as it has a $70 price tag like a 3 yr warranty PSU.

The warranty is strange. My 850 watt SuperNova came with a 10 year warranty but that was many years ago.

$200 for a 1000w PSU with a measly 3-year warranty? That's complete BS considering my Corsair RM 1000x was about $20 cheaper, 80+ Gold, and came with a TEN YEAR warranty.

 

[sLowEnd]

Yeah that warranty length is very short. A lot of competing companies have much longer warranties, but even within EVGA their lower end GE series that came out a few months ago has a 5 year warranty.

I could accept a 5 year warranty, but at the price EVGA is asking for this new 1000W unit, it should be more like 6 or 7 years, bare minimum. I mean, if I were in the market for a new 1000w PSU, I wouldn't feel too confident in spending $200 on a unit that offered only 3 years warranty - I'd quickly be looking elsewhere.

This had better be their bottom of the barrel intro into ATX 3. A 3yr warranty is simply embarrassing. No one is going to spend their hard earned on one of these, regardless of how good the OEM may be.

Psus back then had 1-3 year warranty so, if anything the price should be less.

Perhaps testing is needed and to see what guts are being used on this model

I hope the 12VHPWR cable that comes with it is not using the female pins with dimples !

Nice, i was thinking General Electronics.

 

[Bomby569]

not very confident in their product, 3 years and limited, whatever that means. if i have 10 year warranty PSU's, why would i ever buy a 3 year one? it would have to be a lot cheaper.

weren't they the consumer friendly company lol

 

[PapaTaipei]

3y warranty isn't very EVGA f them...

 

[wheresmycar]

I got put off by Corsairs RMe dropping its cover to 7 years from the 10 year RMX (although different supplier). 7 years is still great in the grand scheme of things but EVGAs 3 years is no-touchy-touchy zone for me. If EVGA doesn't have enough confidence in their own products, we shouldn't either.

I've got a bunch of EVGA G2s (and a G3) which are simply fantastic, great build quality. Each offering 10 year warranty. Thats what i'd like to see, and more of.

SuperFlower?

SuperFlower?

I doubt it but we won't know until someone reliable reviews one.

Most, if not all, good power supplies have 10 year warranties. I wonder why they are going with 3year warranty for a higher end PSU. A power supply should be verifiably reliable and backed by warranty for multiple builds. Who changes power supplies every 3 years?

I think they are trying to sell 10 year warranty as extended, for those willing to pay extra.

EVGA I know times are tough, but really?

 

[lemoncarbonate]

What happened to EVGA? My 5 yo 750G3 came with 10y warranty.
I won't buy PSU with a measly 3y warranty.

 

[sdmf74]

I wanna know the OEM of the XC series PSUs. Several years ago EVGA switched from high end OEMs building their PSUs to the some of the worst OEMs, reason I didn't buy one. 3 year warranty tells me they are most likely still using them.

i agree, i'm still running x2 G2s and x1 G3 and 4/5 years later ZERO complaints (just a minor: G3 a little louder than G2 but ECO sorts it out where its needed). These were my first EVGA PSUs and easily got me in the repeat-buy lane of confidence. Even started investing in some basic BQ models for less intensive workload builds which were at some point super cheap with a 3/5yr warranty.

Now the top brass for 3 years is just screaming "no confidence". I query the same "what happened to EVGA"... my aesthetically/perf fav GPU card producer left the game and now this!
