Final Thoughts and Conclusions
The new SuperNOVA 1000 P2 and 1200 P2 power supplies from EVGA continue to offer a rare combination of performance and value. Once again, EVGA has partnered with Super Flower, which is one of the top OEMs, to produce the two new P2 models. This combination is proving hard to beat with outstanding performance across the board along with very aggressive pricing.
The SuperNOVA 1200 P2 power supply exhibited outstanding voltage regulation with very low AC ripple, even at full load. The power supply features all modular cables and delivers very good efficiency, meeting the 80Plus Platinum criteria. The 1200 P2 PSU incorporates EVGA’s ECO Intelligent Thermal Control System, which allows the power supply to operate in silent, fan-less mode at low to mid power levels. And last but not least, the two new P2 power supplies are backed by a 10-year warranty (with registration). Our only minor disappointment was the new power supplies do not support EVGA’s SuperNOVA hardware monitoring and control software.
The new EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 and 1200 P2 power supplies are currently available and shipping.

Our thanks to EVGA for sending us the 1200 P2 PSU to review – thanks!
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!
