The EVGA SuperNova P2 1200 is an exceptional high end design, and one of the best power supplies we have ever tested.
The box and packaging is the first indication that this is a premium product with no corner being cut to save on cost. The inclusion of the ATX power bridging adapter is inspired and a very useful tool to have when building and troubleshooting a system.
The EVGA partership with Super Flower is serving them well, the overall design is almost flawless and performance in all key areas is exceptionally good.
Load regulation is superb, ripple suppression is as good as we have seen, and the unit passed our intensive cross loading tests with flying colours. The quality of cabling is also excellent, although I was a little surprised to see two of the PCIe cables were 6 pin, not 6+2 pin. Not a huge issue really, but a weird thing to see with a 1200 watt power supply.
Internally no corners have been cut, Super Flower have used all of the highest grade Japanese Nippon Chemi Con 105c rated capacitors (KMQ series), designed for stability and long term reliability. It is always reassuring to see a company using high grade Japanese capacitors in both primary and secondary stages.
You can pick up the EVGA SuperNova P2 1200 PSU from Overclockers UK for £199.99 inc vat. Considering it will deliver in excess of 1,300 watts while performing so exceptionally well in all key areas, it deserves our highest award. It is pretty much the best £200 you could spend for a new high end Crossfire or SLI system build.
