Good buy.

Only thing is when the hell did Argos start being a computer component supplier? Really bizarre line up of stock e.g. tons of power supplies, yet only 3 CPU's only 1 of which is AMD, yet they have about 9 AMD motherboards. Really defies logic as to what stock they have.

Yup it's a top tier PSU (Tier 1 best) as rated by PC Master Race on Reddit >

Made by Super Flower and comes with a 10 year warranty. Great PSU.

Nothing.

Great PSU, I have one and it runs flawlessly. Fan only kicks in when needed.

Got 750W version of this from Argos mid January ago for £87.99 which was cheap imo Came the following day which was surprisingly fast.

It's absolutely great quiet and stable voltage plus 10 year warranty (make sure to register on EVGA website). Overclocked i5-4690k to 4.8GHz on air with no problems and not excessive voltage. Could probably get to 5GHz which I'm yet to try.

Definitely worth it if you need this much juice. Hot price :smiley:

Great deal
110 at amazon

Note: Fully modular!

If I hadn't bought my Antec TruePower Classic 750W for 75 from ariapc (also 80+ gold, but technically tier 2 and not modular) I would have gone for this one in a heartbeat

good thing they're not a computer shop

Is this enough for 2x MSI 390 8gb?

Could someone please let me know what the difference is between the 2 models below:

EVGA SuperNOVA 850w G2 PC GOLD
and
EVGA SuperNOVA 850w G2 GOLD

Thank you!

Nothing.

Good PSUs but the 550w version for 75quid is also good enough for a high end CPU and GPU. You only need 850w if you have a dual SLI setup. Note as well power efficiency on the smaller PSU for a low sub 100w draw when the PC is not gaming will be better.

If I was in the market for a 850w PSU, this is the one I'd get.

Nice find!

recommended wattages are generally very overprovisioned to compensate for people having bad psus. Looky here for instance http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_radeon_r9_390x_gaming_8g_oc_review,8.html They estimate the consumpion of a card under load at 258 watts, and
"On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.". Those guru 3d findings are consistent with other 390 reviews btw, and we are talking of a top tier psu here.

If you want a PSU and think you may upgrade to something more power hungry in the future (unlikely as consumption is only going down) then this is a fab buy. Check this video out to learn why this is good even for a lower powered pc - http://youtube.com/watch?v=MPvj1cs77qA

Bad retailer, great deal.

Heat! :sunglasses:

Had one for a year and it's never missed a beat, even with an overclocked CPU and overclocked GPU's in crossfire or SLI.

Hmm what's the difference between this and the GQ series? I ask because there's a 750W EVGA GQ powering my dual xeons + GTX 970 and it's mostly silent but spins up its fan when the CPUs get going and it's the loudest thing in the system.

Wondering whether the G2 fixes that with improved efficiency or a higher fan threshold or something

They're not trying to be. They are just selling stuff that's widely available.

Any discount codes for argos?

Pretty sure I registered.

Any way to put some Love2Shop vouchers towards an online purchase? Seems a bit of a con that I have £40 of vouchers sat here but I can't get this item in a physical store!

Good deal, £114 at Scan

Any working discount codes or vouchers? Thanks!

Good PSU I have the 650 only thing is braided cables are a little fat

Have the 750w and is an astonishingly good bit of kit. If I needed another PSU I'd get this without question.

Fantastic PSU, easily powerful enough to run all but the most extreme of systems. On top of that, it's of top notch quality and runs silently when it's not under load.

You should be ok as long as you have a proof of purchase. Considering it is 10 years it's likely you'll no longer have it after such a long time if anything goes wrong. EVGA website let's you upload an invoice so it only makes it easier in case you need to rma

voted hot because its making me want to buy it but I must not as I only got a corsair in autumn last year.
corsair was in stock and on sale and I needed it that day.

Yes the register within 30 days for the 10 yr warranty is a bit of a sneaky one!. Unfortunately they also insist that you supply a copy of the purchase invoice too at point of claim. My advice, scan the invoice and save it somewhere safe - in addition to the paper copy!.

Hmm. Tempted as I am about to pick up a second 970 for sli and I know my corsair 750w is not the best :disappointed:

Got me thinking OP!

Got the 550w , first one DOA got it from flubit----(never again) but EVGA were great with the RMA , excellent CS ,
shame you did not realise you got 10yr Warranty when you bought it........

Probably also got fed up of selling potatoes to morons.

Thanks for this, there's a lot of really useful info in there! <3

Also £99.99 on Amazon

Good find, it had gone up in price recently on Amazon, it's nice to see that it's back to £100.

Same price on Amazon right now.

go argos

Bought the 750 for this price a few weeks ago.

They are behemoths, barely (and I mean barely) got it to fit in my case had to bend some of the cables coming out of the PSU more than I liked. It has 2 operating modes; in normal mode it is horribly loud but in Eco mode it virtually silent (there's a switch on the back to select modes).

Errr yeah, as I said. It had gone up in price, it's now back to £100.

Have a look here it might give you a rough idea - https://www.msi.com/power-supply-calculator

I've bought my g2 750 last month... seen these on Argos but were out of stock and then completely removed so I wasn't expecting to see them again. I wish I could return mine and buy 850, great price, great psu

yeah no worries. Just ordered one from Amazon.

1.5% cash back from Quidco for Argos so ordered there. Cheers.

Strange, this looks exactly like a list that was first published on the tomshardware site...

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Ordered Thursday - Arrived Friday - They are being sent direct the supplier which probably means Evga

Ordered from Amazon yesterday, just got it now.

Well Argos (UKMail) delivery is useless

Was supposed to be delivered between 10:30 - 11:30 today, now 17:00 'sorry we're running late'!

Complaint will be going into Argos in the hope of a free gift voucher or something.

Same thing here, however only 40 mins late now.

Did you get it delivered? They still haven't delivered mine.

Yes, it ended up being delivered to the wrong building at work!

My order still hasn't been delivered, terrible service

Looks like a great psu and the final clincher was the 10 year warranty.
Thanks for posting and I already voted it 'HOT' earlier!

£100 for a power supply, COLD!

​Hi, can I ask if you definitely received a G2 version of the psu? Reason I ask is because Argos are listing two EVGA 850w PSUs, and the one linked here for £99.99 doesn't say it's a G2 in the title despite the pic & description being g2. Wondering if they've screwed up on the ad and people are actually being shipped the non-g2 version?

Can anyone confirm if they definitely received the G2 editon from this deal?

I got it, but I ordered from Amazon. I initially ordered from Argos but they kept messing about with the delivery so cancelled it and ordered from Amazon.

Yup - Got in the next day too direct from EvGa - Argos didnt have a clue when I tried to track ii

Expired, link no longer working

The G2 series are arguably the best PSUs on the market. EVGA warranty is second to none. These are made by super flower too which is amazing. To top it off they are only 2% less efficient than the P2 series. Such value for money. Although will be buying the 1600w G2 myself tbh.

​Ty so much Oly!! You are going to save me a lot of money
