Enter the SuperNOVA P+, the new and improved fully-modular power supply line-up from EVGA with an 80+ Platinum Efficiency rating. These power supplies pick up where the award-winning EVGA 1600 P2 and 1200 P2 power supplies left off and continue the tradition of EVGA quality and performance.

Additionally, the SuperNOVA P+ power supplies feature a cleaner internal layout to increase airflow, a Variable Resistor module (to increase voltage stability), two DC to DC modules for more efficient power switching on all models, EVGA ECO Mode, a full suite of power supply protections, and EVGA's World-Leading Global 10-Year Warranty on all P+ power supplies.



Shorter Length
When it comes to building a system, even the smallest differences can make or break your build. The 1600 P+ is 20 mm shorter than its P2 counterpart, giving you more space without sacrificing quality.

Quiet and Long-Lasting Fans
  • 1600 P+ -
    • 135 mm Double Ball Bearing Fan
  • 1300 P+ -
    • 135 mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan
Double Ball Bearings are the industry standard for any power supply expected to carry heavy loads on a regular basis due to their durability and low noise level. Fluid Dynamic Bearings reduce the wear and tear on a fan's bearing, which reduces noise and increases its lifespan.

Tight 12 V Load Regulation
  • 1300 P+ - 0.50% vs. 1200 P2 - 0.75%
The SuperNOVA P+ is loaded in many areas, including a single 12 V. rail, 100% Japanese capacitors, VR module, and DC to DC converter on all SuperNOVA P+ power supplies. Compliant with IEC 62368, this results in over 92% efficiency, tight 12 V. load regulation, and stable power to all connected devices.

Up to 45% Quieter Under Load
  • 1300 P+ - 19.6 dB vs. 1200 P2 - 35.8 dB
By combining quiet and long-lasting fan bearings with an optimized fan curve and a cleaner internal layout, the P+ power supply line-up reduces noise by up to 45%, compared to the P2 power supplies.

Specs At A Glance
  • Platinum Rated Efficiency: 80 Plus certification ensures your power supply isn't wasting power and turning it into excess heat. Under typical load, this power supply is 92% efficient or higher.
  • 100% Japanese Capacitors: Get the most reliability and greatest performance with the use of the highest possible quality Japanese capacitors.
  • Fully Modular Design: A fully modular design allows cables to be removed from the power supply for ease of installation and removal. You can also leave off unnecessary cables to reduce case clutter and maximize case airflow.
  • Tight Voltage Regulation: A single +12V rail offers the best power output, rail stability and compatibility with the latest hardware. EVGA SuperNOVA P+ power supplies provide up to 133 A on a single rail!
  • Quiet and Durable Fan Bearings with EVGA ECO Mode: A high-quality 135 mm fan gives the SuperNOVA P+ an excellent thermal and acoustic profile, and its high reliability ensures a long PSU lifetime. With EVGA ECO Mode, your power supply will remain silent under medium-to-low loads.
  • Full Suite of Protections: This PSU will cover your circuits with complete protection: OCP, OVP, OTP, OPP, SCP, and UVP.
  • 10 Year EVGA Limited Warranty: World leading warranty and support for 10 years

Hi,
Yeah all mine are P2 series supposed to be superflower no telling who makes these P2+.

These are not P2+ but just P+, like G+ they're made by FSP. Rather old-school ACRF primary topology, i guess it's fine for 1.3-1.6kW units since these would be either for mining or for multi-GPU rendering/simulation stuff because ACRF would have a considerably more amount of coil whine than ZVS in most other modern high-end PSUs. But yeah, it's not on the same level as say EVGA P2 / Super Flower Leadex Plat. 1.3-1.6kW or other units like Corsair AX-i 1600W, be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12 1.5kW, Seasonic Prime 1.3kW etc.

At 50% load, these things would never get hot enough for the fan to kick in.

Good to know, Seasonic or Superflower are the only oems i really trust. Could be Channel well technology

Aren't EVGA PSU's produced by Seasonic? And EVGA just slapping on their own label? Or are all EVGA PSU's a special production run and better made than the Seasonic brands?

My 750 G3's fan ramps up after a while in idle/light load with hybrid mode, and never turns back off unless PC goes to sleep. It just stays on in low RPM. Weird, but I don't think it worth an RMA.

You should not trust an OEM or the brand, it's not like you're buying their shares or smth, you're buying their specific product, trust this product reviews, professional ones, not just randos on Amazon/Newegg.

Aren't EVGA PSU's produced by Seasonic?
With the recent exception of EVGA G6 and some very old units - no. Majority of them are either Andyson, HEC or FSP. G2/G3/P2 were Super Flower. The problem with EVGA is that they don't send out review samples, so we don't know how the half of their lineup performs.

Corsair PSU’s are seasonic usually, EVGA use to mainly use superflower.
The only recent Corsair's PSU made by Seasonic is AX. And it was recently discontinued because Seasonic struggles with production volume. Most of Corsair's PSUs are made by CWT (RM, RM-x, RM-i, HX, HX-i), some by Great Wall (SF, TX-M), HEC (CX-F) and their top-of-the-line AX1600i is Flextronics. Seasonic or not, they are all good as proven by reviews.

Weren't these suppose to be called T6? Then again those are Titanium rated on 80+ site. Edit: Nvm, P+ is there.. odd.

Corsair doesn't have many "Seasonic" PSUs.. IIRC AX line.. EVGA and Superflower cut ties from what I understand. Only P2/G2/G3 are superflower.

Hi,
Yeah you can go straight to the source but super flower psu's are rare and gouged on higher wattage units.

you seem like you know some things about psu's that i don't so i will bother you with my question. i currently have a corsair HX1000i but i think something's wrong with it. i already got my old cpu and motherboard fried without overclocking or anything (ryzen 7 3700x). it worked fine for 1.5y than boom nothing, would not post and fried a second x570-e rma'd board(at that time i thought i'm at fault so i bought a completely new board and sold my rma'd board(that was rma'd a second time) and the CPU). and now i got a new mobo(x570-hero) and cpu and last night it seems my pc turned off on it's own and i could hear a high pitch noise coming from the psu when i woke up this morning. until i turned off the psu from the button at the back it would not want to post or do anything besides that high pitch noise. i will get a new psu at this point just to be safe but my question to you is this: between the P+ 1300w evga and the 1200w g3, what would you recommend me to go with? thank you(as a side note my pc has 1 3080 and 1 3080ti mining when the pc is not in use so it's 24/7 on)

Did you get them before the first motherboard died ? This is unlikely to be a PSU issue, i mean, shit happens but i'd rather suspect maybe one of GPUs having imbalanced power draw, overloading PCIe slot and frying something, any damage anywhere (PSU cables, sockets, PCIe slot, GPU) you can see ? If you really want a new PSU, G3 is better of the two, but Corsair HX is better anyway, even if you was unlucky with your sample that doesn't mean that all of them are faulty. I'd try contacting Corsair, see what they say.

no, so i used just a 3080 prior to the first motherboard getting fried. It would only light up the code small lcd with a 00 code and no other self-check led would turn on or anything. with the motherboard my led's fried also and my water pump and my cpu. i sent the first motherboard to rma and got a new one back installed it with a 3080ti that was not watercooledin my diagnose endeavor i went and bough a bunch of parts to rule out the culprit) (. second time the motherboard turned on for half a second and got fried again this time having the self-check ram led on but same 00 code. i blamed asus but it was not their fault so i sent the cpu for rma and low and behold they sent me a brand new cpu. the leds are still fried from my o11 case and all the extra rgb i had. so i pulled the trigger (while everything was rmd the second time) and ordered a x570 hero and a new gen ryzen cpu. i am using the old ram and everything else from the old pc but the motherboard and cpu and now i have 2 30 series watercooled gpus there was absolutely no damage visible on the first board or second. and since i just got a weird shut down a few days ago with a high pitch noise coming from the psu that would not let me reset the pc until i turned it off from the button at the back of the case and then turn it on. that's my reasoning to think there's something wrong with my psu since besides the old ram and the gpu configuration changed even the fans got replaced (at this point the only thing left from my old pc is psu and ram and nvme's)

@K4mikz3 now that i recall, some HX-i units had problems with posting IIRC because of cracking MLCCs at the modular board after several connects\disconnects of modular cables or just heat cycles, so the unit itself may be faulty at this point, it's just this wouldn't kill the other hardware, if anything that may be because of very high ripple but that's highly unlikely. In any case, yeah, contact Corsair.

So it seems things are getting worst for my curent hx1000i: now it just randomly shuts down the computer entirely. Went ahead and got a ax1600i(costs a little fortune but it seems you would point me towards Corsair anyway and i ain't planning on buying psu's for 5 6 years again. Thank you for your time sir)

Lmao, i totally wouldn't recommend you to buy AX1600i because it costs an arm and leg but if it works for you then why not.
 
Really? Who makes their Titanium lineup now then?
If you're talking about T2 that was SF, but they should be out of production by now. There's new T6 tho by Seasonic but i haven't seen it in retail yet.
