EVGA SuperNOVA 850G FTW ATX v3.0 PSU Review

The EVGA SuperNOVA 850G FTW is ATX v3.0 certified and it has enough power for a mid-level gaming system. Read the full review to find more about this product! 

The EVGA SuperNOVA 850G FTW will be included in my best ATX v3.x & PCIe 5.x PSU picks article.

EVGA might be a shadow of its former self, but it still offers some products, including the FTW PSU line, which consists of two members with 850W and 1000W max power. Thanks to a good friend of mine, since I don’t have any relations with EVGA anymore, I got a new SuperNOVA 850G FTW, which I will evaluate in this review.

The 850G FTW is Cybenetics Platinum certified and has a Cybenetics A noise rating, meaning that it operates quietly. It also has a semi-passive operation, which can be deactivated if the user wants the PSU’s fan to remain active at all times. Lastly, contrary to other EVGA PSUs, this one is covered by a “normal” warranty, which is three years long. EVGA was the first to start the ridiculously long warranty trend, and look where this and some other bad decisions eventually led.
