A Detailed Look
The EVGA 750 GQ power supply enclosure is painted with a matte black hammertone finish and measure 165mm (6.5”) long. The back panel includes an On-Off switch, AC receptacle and open honey-comb grill.
Around on the front side, you will note a small 2-position switch up in the top-right corner in the photo above labeled “ECO OFF/ON”. The 750 GQ power supply incorporates EVGA’s ECO Intelligent Thermal Control System for fan speed control. This allows the end user to select silent, fan-less operation for low to mid power applications if desired. Unlike some previous SuperNOVA PSUs, the switch is located on the front of the power supply instead of the rear, which makes the switch harder to access once the PSU is installed.

With the ECO Thermal Control System turned ON, the power supply cooling fan does not start spinning until the internal component temperatures reach a pre-programmed setting. The fan then starts out at low speed and gradually ramps up based on load and temperature (see graph above).
The power supply uses a 135mm, seven blade fan on the bottom for cooling. The Protechnic Electric fan (MGA13512XF-025) is rated for 0.38A at 12 VDC and is controlled by the ECO Thermal Control System. It features a fluid dynamic bearing for long life and quiet operation.
The front panel on the 750W GQ incorporates ten modular cable connectors, along with the ECO fan mode control switch, all nicely labeled. The 24-pin ATX cable/connector is fixed (as it should be IMHO).
All of the modular cables are flat ribbon-style and the 24-pin ATX is sleeved with a black nylon mesh covering.
Under the Hood
Here are a few pictures showing the layout and components inside the EVGA 750W GQ power supply. For the GQ series, EVGA appears to be using FSP as their OEM of choice.
The new GQ series features a traditional circuit design and the layout of components is clean while the soldering appears to be very good. All of the capacitors used inside the GQ PSU are high-quality Japanese made (primarily Nippon Chemi-con) electrolytic and solid polymer caps. The 750W GQ uses a single Rubycon primary capacitor rated for 390uF, 450V and 105°C.
stil waiting for HiRes
stil waiting for HiRes quality picss.. :/
Comment changer le fusible sur cette alimentation ?
C’est généralement une mauvaise idée ; un bon moyen de recevoir un choc électrique grave.
Nice review! Just picked up
Nice review! Just picked up the 1000w GQ off jet.com for $100 after reading this 🙂
hope no new blazing psu technology swoops in…. but looking to crossfire soon and my current 550w coolermaster was not keeping up with my newly installed XFX r9 380 OC, upgraded from 750 ti 2gb, seems to be causing some of my usb inputs to not work & had 2 crashes in 3 weeks.
Wondering did the cables seem long enough in GQ to reach everything okay?
