My 1050 G supernova just died.  It had trouble powering up after shutdown for a month or two, and today just quit.  It was purchased November 23, 2015 - so not old at all.  In addition, it had barely anything to do - as I bought it for future considerations if I decided to crossfire (which I never did).
 
I've got a cross-ship coming back from EVGA, however I can't afford to ship this back to California every time it dies.  Hope there's not a bigger issue, but it looks like there might be with these units.
 
Looks like A LOT OF PEOPLE are having this same problem!!!  Check out the reviews on newegg.com - even their replacements are dying quickly the exact same way.

Ya if I have one more go out I'm going to Corsair or Thermal Take and I'll never buy another EVGA Super Nova power supply as long as I live. I read Sea Sonic built all of EVGA's power supplies any ways. Why would a Company like Sea Sonic who makes their own power supplies to sell would want to make EVGA's better than thier own. Makes you wonder.


I have a Seasonic 850 X series that just failed on me. It appears to be identical to the EVGA 850 GS so it looks like Seasonic makes this for EVGA. What is with these PS supply manufacturers? Their reliability sucks big time. All the 105C Japanese solid capacitors don't make any difference. And before all you tech wizards start asking about surge suppression or dust bunnies, I have used a Super Micro OEM ps on this system for years with the same UPS/surge protectors and they never fail after 5 + years of service, not 6 months of intermittent use. I only went with the Seasonic due to the modular cables, and their supposedly good reputation.

I ordered it(1050 GS)from Amazon two days ago and today they have shipped it. I really hope that it will work fine. In amazon the GS series has good reviews(4.6 or 4.7 from 5). It comes with seven years warranty
