EVGA - 1000W ATX12V / EPS12V GQ Modular Power Supply - Black

I bought EVGA 1000W GQ to replace the supermicro 900W PSU in a 7038A workstation running dual xeons, 40 cores, and dual GTX 1080Tis. Product data was confusing, but the 1000W GQ seemed good enough for 700W continuous. and did not find good pics of the GQ cable ports to know what I was getting. The price of $169 was represented as a 'sale price', but in fact is the list price of the lower end GQ model. I eventually realized 1000W comes in 3 better and higher cost gold-series models- G1+ (same but modular, $200, 5yr warranty), G2 (more stable if you need SLI, 10year warranty), and G3 update of G2 also $230. Also is a 1000W-P2 (platinum rated, $280, 10yr warranty). The GQ unit is not fully modular but does have 3 sata ports, 4 vga ports, 2 cpu ports, 1 PCi-e port. but no 3 or 4-pin fan ports, so you have to be innovative if you have water cooling and/or a lot of fans Still, the GQ does operate quietly and so far has handled full load on my dual xeon without freeze or crash. In retrospect, should have got 1200W and platinum level as I am using it for long renders, video, 3D where it is most stable to operate about 50% power. For workstation, I would choose the more expensive platinum P2 model for greater power stability. For gamers, 1000-GQ will work OK up to 2 GPUs, even with dual cpu, and would choose the GQ over any other low-end model of competing brands. It is a good deal for the price, if you need a quick 1000W upgrade just to have that power level.

Eva really dropped the ball on this one. It has the new NVIDIA port but didn’t come with the cable. I had to pay another $40 for the cable. After paying more for the cable that should have been included I find out my 4090 will not even work with this psi and extra cost cable. Wast of money.

This is a great power supply. They work great for crypto mining and computer build. They do use a bit more power cause they are gold rated.

EVGA PSUs are great and I only use those in my builds. This unit is a great price but be careful with your case selection as they aren't small

This is a really solid power supply. It's well built, runs cool, and almost silent. Definitely a premium product beautifully designed and well packaged.

Have been using this PS with no issues for about a year now. I love EVGA products and I would highly recommend their power supplies to anyone.

Love EVGA they build to last. And they product look good. This power supply is great. For the price (when on sale). Semi modular with all the cables you could need for a powerhouse PC with a demanding GPU.

Excellent product. Easy to install and no problems yet.
