EVGA 1200P2 gets 2nd ever 10/10 from JonnyGuru

After that magnificent Corsair ax1500i, now comes another PSU with no flaws: EVGA Supernova P2 1200W Review

 

Pretty incredible stuff from Super Flower and EVGA here. I also liked the tease for the 1600G2/P2/T2:

 

Corsair might be feeling some heat from these guys. I mean, they have no competition yet for the AX1500i, but... oh. Folks, I just looked at my shelf full of review units and saw what's up there. Corsair's gotta be a bit worried now.

 

The 1300G2 is cheaper but this platform brings the eco mode to it (and the additional 2-4% efficiency if you care about it). Now all they need to go is go lower than 750W from the Leadex platform and EVGA will cover just about everyone.

Super flower FTW. (Well the models that have proper components anyway)

Glad to see more 10/10s!

To be honest, some units previously missed out due to mediocre manuals which I thought was pretty harsh.

Yup I have that exact PSU but the 1000w model. The 10 year warranty sold it to me. Amazing unit and very clean/stable power.

the 1000w did not get 10/10 due to the manual and thats harsh tbh

That is why review scores really do not mean much

 

However good documentation is important too in my opinion and should be to a high standard especially considering the use and price of components like power supplies

 

I agree though deducting points for a bad manual is harsh, however it could potentially be an issue if somebody inexperianced needed information in the manual that was not there or was badly written

An achievement for EVGA indeed, JonnyGuru has my respect as a reviewer or PSUs not just because of the scoring but because of the level of understanding that shows through in the actual wording of the reviews.

That's the biggest thing that differs them from Seasonic in my eyes, they don't trickle down high end components to the same level, where as you'll see 105c jap caps in some quite low end Seasonic units often.

Should have given a .5 dock for only a decent manual, GG JonnyGuru you've gone soft. /s

 

Nice PSU, I'll look at this when I have $4000 to spend on a PC.

Now this is news

Glorious EVGA.

EVGA-SuperFlower Master Race.

Phanteks Master Race.

A perfect 10/10 has to mean something...

Also, they overlooked the manual a little on the AX1500i review. "I won't go too hard on them for saving some paper."

 

Oh man that HotBox 5V regulation. Less than 0.1%.

 

OW briefly commented on the Seasonic v Superflower race for Titanium. I think Superflower is winning. They've already certified their upcoming Leadex Titanium series, ranging from a tiny 750W all the way to 1600W. Presumably the EVGA T2 1600W unit will be based on this platform.

 

Things OW could have pulled points for:

Soldering.

Loose centre standoff on modular board.

Hardwired FDD connector on 5.25" chain.

And in my opinion, the BB fan. 10 year warranty, remember.

 

Might have been the AX1500i review where OW said he may have to get more accurate testing equipment to measure to 2 decimel places if he keeps getting units like these. Maybe he will. Technology keeps marching forwards. I wonder if 100A+ single rail units will be marked against. It is interesting to read the scoring page, where OW says he'll be scoring on both Cold & Hot tests now.

I think it says more for the 10/10 units if everything HAS to be perfect
