Features
Stable Power
The P+ series delivers outstanding electrical performance with ultra-stable voltage and extremely clean power output. This configuration aids in achieving the highest possible overclock (optional) and provides the most stable and reliable power to all components. The P+ series boasts high efficiency up to 92% (115V~) / 94% (230V~) and is 80 PLUS® PLATINUM certified.
ECO Thermal Control System
The EVGA ECO Intelligent Thermal Control System ensures silent operation at low loads, improves efficiency, and extends fan lifespan. Activated by a simple switch on the power supply, the "No Fan Spin" feature is ideal for users seeking to reduce ambient noise. Save on energy costs and avoid unnecessary fan usage with the EVGA ECO Thermal Control System.
Top Quality Protections
The P+ series is equipped with a comprehensive protection suite, including Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), Over Power Protection (OPP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Over Current Protection (OCP), and Over Temperature Protection (OTP). This product is also backed by an exceptional 10-year warranty and EVGA's renowned customer service and support.
Superior Build Quality
The P+ series is built to the highest standards, utilizing 100% Japanese capacitors rated at 105 degrees Celsius and high-quality brand-name semiconductor components for maximum performance and reliability. The Ultra Quiet 135mm fan provides adequate cooling for near-silent operation.
Modular Design
This design helps reduce case clutter, improve ambient temperatures through better airflow, and provide a clean system aesthetic. Modular PSU designs allow users to disconnect cables from the power supply side when not needed for a specific configuration, freeing up space and improving cable management and overall system airflow.
Installation
- Remove the power supply from its packaging.
- (Optional) Using the provided PSU testing tool, connect the 24-Pin cable to the PSU, then attach the testing tool to the 24-Pin cable. Connect the ATX power cable to the PSU and plug the PWR cable into the outlet or surge protector/UPS. Once connected, turn the power switch to the ON position. Note: For water cooling configurations, this testing tool offers a simple, safe method for bleeding/draining/testing water cooling components without needing a paperclip.
- Use the provided screws to install the power supply into your computer. NOTE: It is recommended to install the power supply with the fan facing down. However, if your case places the power supply at the bottom and lacks ventilation holes, installing it with the fan facing up may offer greater efficiency and reliability.
- Connect the 24-Pin ATX cable to the PSU and the motherboard.
- Connect the 4+4-Pin EPS12V cable to the motherboard. (Optional) If planning extreme overclocking and your motherboard supports additional 8-Pin or 4-Pin CPU power connectors, connect the second 4+4-Pin EPS12V cable. This is necessary only for heavy overclocking or dual-CPU motherboards.
- Connect the 6/6+2-Pin PCI-E cables to your graphics card(s). NOTE: Do not attempt to plug an 8-Pin PCI-E cable into a 6-Pin connector without first detaching the two extra pins.
- Connect SATA power cables to all data drives or optical drives (hard drives, solid-state drives, optical drives).
- Connect the peripheral "Molex" 4-Pin connectors for fans, pumps, legacy components, and other devices/adapters.
- Connect the AC power cord to your power supply and to the wall outlet. Verify all connections for a solid connection and turn the power switch on the power supply to the ON position.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: I see more than four screw holes on the back of the power supply, but the packaging only offers (4) screws. Are some missing?
- A: Nothing is missing. You only need four screws to attach the EVGA power supply to the case. The power supply has more than four holes to ensure optimal compatibility with various case designs.
- Q: My EVGA Power Supply includes (2) EPS cables for my motherboard. Do I need to connect both?
- A: Most current motherboards require only one 4+4 or 8-Pin EPS connection. Some motherboards may have an additional 4+4-Pin or 8-Pin connection for dual-CPU configurations or extreme overclocking. If your motherboard supports dual 4+4-Pin EPS connections, consult your motherboard manufacturer's manual for details on the proper function and power of these connections.
- Q: What is the ECO Thermal Control System?
- A: When enabled, the ECO Thermal Control System allows the EVGA power supply fan to shut off during low to moderate operation loads. The fan will automatically turn back on when needed, based on the power supply's temperature. The fan speed (RPM) will also increase as needed, based on the load requested by connected components. This prevents unnecessary fan rotation, reduces ambient noise, and extends fan lifespan by reducing operational time. Note: If ECO Thermal Control is disabled, the fan will always spin, even at low loads. Fan speed will increase automatically based on component power draw.
- Q: What if I want to use power adapters for my graphics card(s)/motherboard/peripherals?
- A: EVGA always recommends using direct power connections from the power supply to all components for optimal power delivery. Adapters should only be used as a last resort.
- Q: Does it matter which end of the cable I plug into the power supply?
- A: Yes. The connections to the power supply are not keyed like the EPS (CPU) cable, which has a 4+4 pin on one side and a full 8-pin on the other. Check each cable's labeling to ensure you connect the correct end to the power supply and the corresponding cable to the component.
- Q: If I have an issue or question, how can I get support?
- A: All EVGA products are backed by top-tier warranties and technical support. For support, contact EVGA: USA: +1-888-881-3842 (Option 1, then Option 3) or email support@evga.com. Europe: +49 89 189 049 11 or email eu.evga.com/support.
