Under the Hood
Here are a few pictures showing the layout and components inside the EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2 Platinum power supply. EVGA is once again using Super Flower as the OEM for the SuperNOVA 1200 P2. Super Flower is a very capable OEM and one of the few who can go head-to-head with Seasonic.
The new EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2 power supply utilizes a modern full-bridge design with LLC resonant converter topology to minimize switching losses and help increase efficiency. Two DC-to-DC converters are used on the secondary to produce the +3.3V and +5V minor rails from the +12V main section.
All of the capacitors used inside the new 1200 P2 PSU are high-quality Nippon Chemi-Con electrolytics and solid polymer caps. The PSU incorporates two primary capacitors rated for 560 uF, 400V and 105°C. The overall component layout is clean, leaves room for good airflow and the soldering appears very good.
G2 were already really good
G2 were already really good PSU’s
They should at least include individually sleeved and not having to pay an extra $90
That name, I guess whoever
That name, I guess whoever owns Data General, and the Nova 1200(or supernova) branding has let it lapse, but we had a Nova 1200 Minicomputer at Jr. College, and you had to toggle the bootstrap program in(In Octal) on the front control panel’s toggle switches, and then it would load the OS, from paper tape, to then load the BASIC/other languages, into the limited core(little iron{mostly} donuts with wires treaded through them) memory. All hooked up to some teletype keyboard/printers, oh those sounds, and long round keys, with about a miles worth of key travel. You could not hear the fans blasting the hot air out of the cabinet over those teletypes, and other line printer, dot matrix printer noises, including the rapid fire thunks of the card readers, reading in the latest batch processing Fortran IV, COBOL, and other jobs. Paper and Card stock, was big in them days, and everybody knew what a Chad was, Now get off of may lawn! Little Billy Gates!
