Are EVGA taking the mick

[MooMoo444]

Why would you need to replace it if it's got warranty + is powerful enough for pretty much any PC? (1300w)

I've never had a PSU for more than 4 years... Are you really going to have the same PSU for more than 5 years?

I'm using my 1000W Thermaltake toughpower today which I bought way over 5 years ago. The fan went noisy in it some time ago but, both Thermaltake were pretty useless warranty wise(at the time their european support bounced all e-mails back basically making it impossible to contact them). More to the point, a warranty is good for reselling, and simply put I would value a 5 year warranty from a company I know how to contact like EVGA much higher than a 5 year warranty direct from super flower when I've never contacted them before nor used the service.

I did use to replace PSU's fairly often, both as you build ever more powerful computers, then PCI-E came along and gpu's with more power connections needed. But frankly since the first psu's with 8 pin pci-e were available very little has changed. 2-3% higher efficiency over the past 8 or so years.

Blu-tac works great on things like routers/hdds/wireless connectors(seriously, when will it end), but if you look at the review of the super flower platinum, each modular cable connector end lights up, a lot.

We need to start passing laws worldwide that all devices with led lights need to be able to turn the ruddy led's off.

I would also like to know what happened to that 1300W bang-for-buck monster.

Glad I bought mine a couple of months back now.

Great Psu.

Do you really spend so much time looking at your PC that it disturbs you? PSU is usually in such a location that you couldn't see it much anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I like PC's that have been designed to look good, hell, I got LED fans too.. but it's not important enough to put me off purchasing something, I mean, the performance is there regardless, and that's what I want in the end.

130W Gold PSU arrival date

Is there any info on the 1300W PSU as there are some EVGA guys in this thread, been wanting one for a while and across the UK I can't find them in stock. Nothing else seems to come close in price/performance for such a big psu, but everywhere I've checked has no idea when stock is coming in.

Hi

The 1300W PSU will arrive at OCUK on Tuesday 17th December.

I hope this helps. We have a lot of 1000W + Modular PSU shipping to the UK today from our Munich hub so 4 working days and OCUK will have this.

Thanks
Ben
