EVGA SuperNOVA 750 GT PSU Review | Long-lasting Efficiency

The EVGA SuperNOVA 750 GT is a PC power supply unit part of the GT series from EVGA. The name evokes images of a spruced up vehicle and implies a product built for high-speed performance. The SuperNOVA series has built a steady following so we are looking into the 750W variant to see why.

EVGA is a known entity in the PSU world for years. They market themselves as durable with solid customer service. However, the Supernova GT is not their most ambitious offering. If you're building a new system or replacing an older PSU, consider this a good bet if the power demands are not too strenuous.

Sitting comfortably in the mid-to-high tier of the market, this 750-watt unit is a fully modular, 80 PLUS Gold-certified power supply. Its positioning is a mid-budget option that gives stable performance but falls below higher-end options from the same company and cmpetitors.

The most noticeable thing about the SuperNOVA 750 GT is its compact size. Measuring only 150mm in length, it's smaller than many other 750W units on the market. If you have an enterprise setup of multiple single unit PCs, a small PSU saves a lot of space.  The chassis feels sturdy with a matte black finish and the signature EVGA sunburst for airflow.

Noise is the foremost complaint of PSU users. The SuperNOVA has a fluid dynamic bearing, or FDB, fan so expect noise levels under control. It's quiet under normal loads and due to EVGA’s Auto ECO mode, it can remain completely off during low to moderate usage. However, this feature cannot be toggled.

Internally, the 750 GT uses 100% Japanese capacitors and multiple circuit protections. If your location has a possibility of voltage spikes, the added protection can save you a lot of trouble.

With an 80 PLUS Gold certification, the SuperNOVA 750 GT is guaranteed a standard of efficiency. This means less wasted energy and less heat generated in your system. Users in high temperature environments often complain of smaller PSUs reaching optimum heat generation too quickly. The SuperNOVA fares well in managing mid to high loads for a sustained time period.

Overclocking support is adequate, too, though those running multiple CPUs would be better getting a PSU with higher wattage. Even though, the 750 GT maintains solid voltage regulation even under heavier loads, it isn't best to run your PSU at it limits in every instance.

The SuperNOVA comes with a pair of flat, black cables 1400mm in length. This is a good length making it easy to connect on all manner of CPU towers. The fully modular nature of the 750 GT makes installation clean and hassle-free. Only plug in the cables you need which good as it needs little room and avoids clutter.

The complete set of connectora in the unit include EPS connectors, PCIe connectors, SATA connectors, and Molex connectors. That should be plenty for most users running a single CPU setup with a few storage drives and cooling accessories.

As we menioned earlier, the SupreNOVA has a built-in system that limits when the fan turns on. The fan only kicks in when the unit reaches higher power draw or temperatures, and even then, it ramps up gradually and remains very quiet.

One of the most noticeable features of the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 GT is its near-silent operation. The cooling compenents comprise a 135mm FDB fan controlled by the Auto ECO mode, which do a decent job of keeping the PSU silent during most workloads.

Thermal performance is also creditable. The unit runs cool under typical gaming and productivity loads, and the smart thermal design ensures that the fan isn’t constantly spinning. This not only extends the lifespan of the fan but also contributes to a quieter overall PC build.

The build quality and use of premium capacitors suggest that the unit should easily last through multiple PC upgrades or rebuilds. EVGA backs the 750 GT with a 7-year warranty, which, while not the longest in the industry, shows a level of confidence that the company has that its product works. If you are having any issue, contact EVGA's customer service and, depending on your region, you can get a respectable level of assistance.

Here are the pros and cons of the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 GT which highlights the best features and a few bumps for this power supply unit:

·         Excellent build quality with high-grade components

·         Quiet and efficient performance

·         Fully modular design simplifies installation

·         Compact size fits most builds

·         Backed by a 7-year warranty

Cons
