STABLE POWER
The G3 series has outstanding electrical performance with ultra stable voltage and extremely clean power
output. This can help you achieve the highest possible overclock (optional) and provide the most stable and reliable
power to all components. The G3 series also has high efficiency up to 90% (115VAC) / 92% (220VAC~240VAC)
efficiency and is 80 PLUS
®
GOLD certified.
ECO THERMAL CONTROL SYSTEM
The EVGA ECO Intelligent Thermal Control System provides silent operation at low loads, improved efficiency
and longer life span of the fan. Enabled by a simple switch directly on the power supply, the “No Fan Spin” feature
is ideal for users looking to reduce ambient noise overall. Save on energy costs and unnecessary fan usage with
the EVGA ECO Thermal Control System.
TOP QUALITY PROTECTIONS
The G3 series comes equipped with the most comprehensive protection set possible, including Over Voltage
Protection (OVP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), Over Power Protection (OPP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP),
Over Current Protection (OCP), and Over Temperature Protection (OTP). This product is also covered by an
exceptional 7-year warranty and EVGA’s legendary customer service and support.
SUPERIOR BUILD QUALITY
The G3 series is built to the highest standards, using 100% Japanese capacitors rated at 105 degrees Celsius
and high quality brand-name semiconductor components for the highest performance and reliability. The Ultra
Quiet 130mm Hydraulic Dynamic Bearing fan provides adequate cooling to allow near silent operation.
MODULAR DESIGN
Reduce clutter in the case, improve ambient temperatures with better airflow overall and provide a clean look to
any system. Modular PSU designs allow the user to disconnect the cables from the power supply side if they are
not needed for the specific configuration. This can help free up space inside the case and improve cable
management as well as airflow throughout the system.
1. Remove the power supply from its packaging.
2. (Optional) Using the provided PSU testing tool, connect the 24-Pin cable to the
PSU, then attach the testing tool to the 24-Pin cable. Connect the ATX power cable
to the PSU and plug the PWR cable into the outlet or surge protector/UPS you plan
to use. Once connected, turn the power switch to the ON position. (If the ECO
mode is set to ON, the fan will not spin)
Please note: If you are using a water cooling configuration, this testing tool
provides a simple, safe, option for bleeding/draining/testing water cooling
components without the need of a paperclip or other device.
