What customers say about "Features"

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G5 Fully Modular Power Supply

The PSU is pretty quiet while running.
I love these fully modular power supply units.
In terms of noise and efficient, very solid.
The ECO feature is great if you are sitting in sleep mode.
Unless ECO mode is on, the fan runs 100% of the time and isn't quiet.

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.
