                               EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G3 Fully Modular Power Supply
                                       - Fully modular design is nice to keep unneeded cables out of your case and maximize airflow.
- Eco mode is nice to keep the unit silent during low / medium load, the fan only turns on when gaming.
- Clean, low ripple power with all the safety features.
- Being fully modular is fantastic, it really makes customization easy and future expansions a breeze.
- Cables are the perfect length for my mid size tower, but I don't think they are long enough for full size towers.

                                       - Extremely quiet with eco fan switch off or on.
- This psu will provide plenty of power and features for the price.
- Amazing performance, whisper quiet, and modular design makes cable management far easier.
- It works well and is very quiet under heavy load.
- I have had no problems with it and the fully modular feature is a very nice thing to have.
