Any PSU can be a DOA, just send it back to EVGA or what not. Most of their PSUs come with Warrenties, EVGA has fantastic customer support.

Message EVGA straight up, not Newegg. Newegg RMAs are horrible

Knowing EVGA, they'll send you back a 1200W PSU or something like that.

I7 6700k, 980 TI kingpin, fully water cooled, 16gb of ram. The reason I got a 1000 watt is because if I wanna do any additions in the future I dont wanna be limited by a PSU

Could've just gotten a G2 750 or G2 850... They'd be much more efficient with that setup compared to running the 1000W psu.

You think even with high CPU and GPU overclocks I will be fine with a 850....?

Yes... @Gofspar runs his 5820k, 980 classy, and now a hd6970 24/7 without problems on his G2 750.

Here's a post I'd made:

 

"DOAs can be explain by the handling of the shipping company from the time it left the manufacturing warehouse in China all the way until it finally reach your system. During the quality control everything ran fine, but due to possibly that the boxes that holds these units may have been drop numerous of times at Newegg's storage warehouse, shipping trucks, etc. something may got loose or even damage.

 

Then issues like PSUs failing in a few months time can be explain by certain quality control issues that have been overlooked (remember, they have to look at thousands of units. They are bound to overlook something eventually). For example, the robots didn't put enough solder on one of the joints. Even though, it did not have an immediate affect, over time, during heat/cool cycles, it may crack and fail. Or a batch of components are partially bad that didn't show any immediate signs of failure and is able to pass and slipped by QC test. It may take a few months or years for issues to manifest itself.

 

Of course, these issues can happen to any mass-produce electronics. Not just PSUs. If you want to get a good idea of how good a particular PSU is, it is best that you go review a competent, more professional review site. TBH, the understanding of the inner workings of a PSU of those reviewers (Newegg and such) are usually very little. Reviews sites such as HardwareSecrets, Jonnyguru, TechPowerUp, HardOCP, etc. are good."

 

Basically, just another one. The EVGA Supernova 1000w P2 is an excellent power supply. If you so happen to have another DOA, then you have shitty luck. lol

Two 980tis run fine on 850W. That's the recommended wattage.
