The EVGA 1000 G6 is a great product that needs some touches to reach perfection. I would like to see slightly higher average efficiency levels, an improved APFC converter able to deliver high PF readings with 230 V, tighter transient response on all primary rails, and lower inrush currents. Moreover, it would be nice if the 5VSB circuit were upgraded to deliver better efficiency. The performance difference between 115 V and 230 V is notable because of the low PF readings with higher voltage input. The APFC converter not having been tuned for the entire voltage range the PSU supports is a poor showing since a low power factor means energy is wasted. On top of that, low PF will apply more stress to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices connected to the PSU.

Priced close to $220, this PSU cannot be considered affordable, and to make matters worse, its major opponent, the Corsair RM1000x (2021), costs $36 less. The latter has notably larger dimensions (180 mm vs. 140 mm deep), uses cables with in-line caps, and has high OCP triggering points on the minor rails. That having been said, it is equipped with a topnotch magnetic levitation fan and comes with three EPS connectors, making it compatible with ultra-high-end mainboards. It achieves notably higher overall performance with 230 V input owing to its APFC converter. With 115 V input, the EVGA unit has a slight lead over Corsair's offering.

Overall, the EVGA 1000 G6 is worthy of your attention if you seek a powerful and compact power supply for a potent gaming system. It uses a proven Seasonic platform that received some upgrades to meet the modern competition. At the time of the review, its major downside is the notable price difference with its primary Corsair competitor. However, EVGA usually offers discounts on its products, and if you find it at a reasonable price, the choice between the G6 and corresponding RMx model will be a tough one.
