Page 6 - Scoring

Performance (40% of the final score) - 10. I mean, really... were you expecting any other score in this category today? Beyond excellent ripple suppression, beyond excellent voltage regulation, easy pass for Gold efficiency both times. I mean, come on... if anything deserves a perfect score here it's this unit.

Functionality (20% of the final score) - and it's getting another 10 here, as well. We have a fully modular unit with very nice black sleeved cables. The manual's decent. There are lots of connectors. There's a switchable fanless mode. EVGA gave us a little test adapter to see if it works before we use it. There are lots of other goodies in the box. Can you find something to complain about here? I certainly can't.

Value (20% of the final score) - Newegg's offering this unit for $129.99 right now, with a rebate on top of that. I can't score on rebates, but I can drool all over that price. It's directly competing with the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand, which may or may not still be the same one I reviewed. That said, the real competition is from Seasonic. Their KM3 750W is ten dollars more money. And you'd probably think EVGA has this all sewn up based on that alone. But... XFX has a Seasonic built unit at this same price point, so this category is not a lock like we saw with the 850W model. I'm going to go with a 9.5 here. When a Seasonic build is your only competition, you're doing it right. In fact, I'm almost ready to say that it is Seasonic who is competing with this one than the other way around.

Build Quality (20% of the final score) - as was the case with the 850W, I still want to see that fan control switch wiring cleaned up some. There's a little more glue on it this time holding it to the modular board insulation, but it still looks rather like an afterthought. There's room for that switch directly on the back panel... how about we do that instead, Super Flower? 9.5.

Summary

The gravy train keeps on rolling for EVGA today with the G2 750W. Expectations were high, and EVGA rose to them without breaking a sweat. I have to imagine that over at EVGA headquarters, they have to regularly take breaks to go up on the roof and yell, "Top o' the world, Ma!" I certainly couldn't blame them. Now all we need from EVGA is their answer to the Corsair AX1500i, and we'll be all set.

The Good:

  • excellent voltage regulation
  • less than 15mV ripple on the outputs
  • switchable semi-fanless mode
  • excellent build quality
  • 10 year warranty
  • competitive price

The Bad:

  • nothing

The Mediocre:

  • 10 year warranty requires registration first
