EVGA G2 for 6700k + 980Ti

Legend · 15 Oct 2016 at 22:55

I think I know the answer to this, but I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger, allowing for OC headroom on both CPU and GPU, is the G2 650W enough? It's in an ITX build so SLI is no concern.

I'm pretty sure the CPU will be air cooled, but would 650W preclude a custom loop (CPU only)?

650W is more than enough. Even the G2 550W can cover most single socket cpu and gpu setup with decent overclocking.

Thanks, good to have the assurance.

Double check the max psu length the case can take just in case you haven't already. The G2 650w is 165mm long and a lot of itx cases need a psu horter than this.

I just installed the 650 watt G2 in my PC to replace my ageing TX850 which had way to many wires hanging out of it.

It's a lovely psu. It seems to have excellent build quality. Good choice.

Does it still have the dual 4+4 CPU cable?

I just installed one in my pc.

Yep, it does have the 4+4 cpu cable.

My ITX can take up to 200mm PSU, so no issues there. EVGA certainly make some very solid well built units. For the sake of saving just a few quid, I don't know why you'd buy anything else tbh.
