Before i begin i want to say no i have not reviewed this unit nor is this a review and all credit goes to Techpowerup as i got the info from them

Alright i thought the EVGA thread cleared it up as to why you should not buy an NEX650G/750G, but a lot did not seemed to get the word or understood why so i am going to make a whole thread as to why not
First off lest start with OEM and the platform used its FSP and its based on a group regulated Aurum, the word group regulated should already tell you whats wrong with it

And before anyone misunderstand no the SuperNova G2/P2 and all the other SuperNova models have NOTHING in common with the NEX650G/NEX750G those are based on other platforms not FSP Aurum based units, so this thread is ONLY about the NEX650G/NEX750G

Quoted from Techpowerup´s review of the NEX750G
EVGA trusted FSP with their smaller SuperNova units, and they, to be more specific, utilized their Aurum platform. Definitely not the platform we would use for a PSU that belongs to a high-end series and one that has to compete with pretty advanced opponents

The main problem here is not crappy capacitors or super crappy build quality its as said before its group regulated
What that mean you might ask?

It means that all the rails are treated as one big group and not regulated independent
The result of that is some truly crappy voltage regulation in fact some of the WORST i have ever seen

Note that all ripple and voltage results are from the unit(s) at full load

This alone here should be the reason why you should not buy it but it gets worse then that
When you are thinking of a group regulated you are thinking well that would make it pretty cheap right? the Rosewill Capstone is in the same price range and sometimes cheaper and is an overall better unit

Again for anyone that are going to misunderstand no the NEX models are not going to blow up nor are they super crappy like some of the stuff from HEC, the word here is very mediocre nothing more

All info and pictures came from techpowerup and the testing has been done by them so all credit goes to them not me.

Its their own fault for selling a unit like that at such a high price

You know if they took 50$ off the price it would not be so bad its still not very good but at least its not a ripoff

And no the EVGA SuperNova G2 models are nothing like the NEX models they are fact the total reverse damm good models for a great price

Its only the NEX models you should avoid

To be fair the NEX models where the first PSU´s EVGA sold

And there is a story behind why they went with FSP and not Seasonic as they planed

Anyway for a first try it could have gone a lot worse then it did but it could have been alot better

Reason for this thread is i still see the NEX models gets recommended and i got tired of saying the same things over and over

Looks like the Corsair CX has competition

. I hope people realize that units built like this are meant for casual FB, YT, or E-Mail rigs. They are not meant to be used by enthusiasts or gamers. Thanks for the heads-up shilka. I’m almost tempted to start collecting information you put out like this and group it up for you.

* Waits for EVGA Jacob to scold you.

EVGA Supernova G is worse than Corsair CS because they have the same exact name as the higher end G2 units except for one number , unless the retailer does their due diligence to write NEX.

I’m surprised it has a 10 year warranty tbh

Amazon pricing history:

Well it does not change facts just because EVGA Jacob and others dont like them

Something thats seems to be a huge problem with the Corsair fanboys as they scream bloody murderer over the facts in the CX and RM threads

Support seems to be flimsy though as well, so unless that’s changed in the last few months I wouldn’t consider purchasing to begin with.

That is in regards to Corsair. Not EVGA

They should EOL the NEX650G/NEX750G now that they have the G2 models which are everything the NEX models are not

I do think EVGA learned a lot from the NEX models and i also belive they took some feedback

As said for a first try it could have been alot worse

At the end of the day skip the NEX models and go with the G2 its much better in all areas

I think that is one of the things that has surprised me about eVGA, when they try making a product for a part of the industry they have not previously covered, they do quite a decent job, even when compared to the companies who are more experienced in those fields. Just look at the hadron, it’s their first ever case, and it’s pretty well designed.

As i said there is actually a story as to why the NEX650/NEX750 was ordered from FSP and not Seasonic as was the plan

I dont know if this story is true or not as i have no way to confirm if it is or not

shilka, it’s not like the Supernova G2 or P2 were spotless either. The only reason why they don’t catch as much flak is because 1000W PSUs are not high market share.

What lets EVGA get away with it is they were honest enough to admit the problem and RMA everyone’s G2/P2 that had the issues.

EOL-ing Supernova NEX would be a good idea, but they need to move all the units off once Supernova G2 has sufficient production volume.

I don’t understand the need for so many prefixes and suffixes however.

It ought to be
SuperNOVA Classified instead of SuperNOVA NEX1500 Classified , this was a terrible naming situation as it doesn’t tell the Gold efficiency
SuperNOVA P2
SuperNOVA G2
SuperNOVA G — instead of SuperNOVA NEX_____G
SuperNOVA B — instead of Supernova NEX_____B

the NEX designation is meaningless

FSP can make good units so saying that is not fair and its wrong as well

The NZXT HALE 90 V2 was made by FSP yes NZXT did take part in designing it so maybe thats why it turned out so well?

Anyway the FSP Aurum Pro can take on and even beat the old Corsair AX850 in some areas so bashing FSP is not fair

As far as i know the only problems with the G2 and P2 was on one batch and that batch was recalled and everyone that had one was offered a new one for free

EVGA has discovered that a small batch of our 1300W & 1000W Power Supplies (P/N: 120-G2-1300-XR, 220-P2-1000-XR, 120-G2-1000-XR) did not meet the quality levels that EVGA stands behind. There is insufficient insulation on the thermal pad by a heatsink which may cause the Power Supply to shut down or be unable to power on. If you have one of these part numbers, please fill in your serial number below on this page to see if your power supply is affected. NOTE: This symptom should not occur on ANY Power Supply that was purchased on October 1st, 2013 or later.
