Features
STABLE POWER
The SuperNOVA GOLD series has outstanding electrical performance with ultra stable voltage and extremely clean
power output. This can help you achieve the highest possible overclock (optional) and provide the most stable and
reliable power to all components. The SuperNOVA GOLD series also has high efficiency up to 90% (115VAC) / 92%
(220~240VAC) and is 80 PLUS GOLD certified.
DUAL THERMAL CONTROL SYSTEM
The EVGA Dual Thermal Control System provides silent operation at low loads, improved efficiency and longer life
span of the fan. Enabled by a simple switch directly on the power supply, the "No Fan Spin" feature is ideal for
users looking to reduce ambient noise overall. Save on energy costs and unnecessary fan usage with the EVGA
Dual Thermal Control System.
TOP QUALITY PROTECTIONS
The SuperNOVA GOLD series comes equipped with the most comprehensive protection set possible, including
Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), Over Power Protection (OPP), Short Circuit
Protection (SCP). This product is also covered by an exceptional 5-year warranty and EVGA's legendary customer
service and support.
SUPERIOR BUILD QUALITY
The SuperNOVA GOLD series is built to the highest standards, using 100% Japanese capacitors rated at 105
degrees Celsius and high quality brand-name semiconductor components for the highest performance and reliability.
The Ultra Quiet 120mm Teflon Nano-Steel Bearing fan provides adequate cooling to allow near silent operation.
MODULAR DESIGN
Reduce clutter in the case, improve ambient temperatures with better airflow overall and provide a clean look to
any system. Fully Modular PSU designs allow the user to disconnect the cables from the power supply side if they
are not needed for the specific configuration. This can help free up space inside the case and improve cable
management as well as airflow throughout the system.
Installation
1. Remove the power supply from its packaging.
2. (Optional) Using the provided PSU testing tool, connect the 24pin cable to the
PSU, then attach the testing tool to the 24pin cable. Connect the ATX power cable
to the PSU and plug the PWR cable into the outlet or surge protector/UPS you plan
to use. Once connected, turn the power switch to the ON position. (If the ECO mode
is set to ON, the fan will not spin)
Please note: If you are using a water cooling configuration, this testing tool
provides a simple, safe, option for bleeding/draining/testing water cooling
components without the need of a paperclip or other device.
