I am wondering are they high quality PSU and reliable. Looking to get one but not sure. Who is the OEM

I like them. I have a couple. 1600 T2, 1200 T2, 2-1000 T2’s. All perform well. It depends on which one. Look here: http://orionpsudb.com/evga.

They will probably work. To be 100% sure I'd contact cablemod & evga and ask them the same question.

Thanks,
 
So will the original cables from Cablemods work from the G3 or that is not know yet?

The compatibility tab shows a lot of interchangeability:

100-G2-08LL-B9

450-850 G2/G3/G5/GP/GM/P2/PQ/T2 

It's always a good idea to check though. Also a great price on the G5.
 

I would check because part of it is also wattage rating of the cable.
 
As for the price I agree that the G5 is a great value. Normally when we see a new product launch it doesn't drop 15% in price over the last version. I have been considering the 1000W and even without the rebate it's a good deal at $199 compared to the G3 at $229.

To be clear, G5 is an FSP unit.
 
If you'd like to see how it stacks up against the G3 in a few areas, take a look at our new promotion: https://www.evga.com/articles/01363/g5-psu-review-promotion/

Adding onto what was said about it being an fsp unit, the G5 seems to be based on the same platform as bequiet's power zone which came out around 2014 and comparing their power zone 1000 to the supernova g3 line made by super flower the g3 blows them out of the water. From what I've gathered the only thing that might be better about the g5 vs the g3 is the fan which is on the loud side for the g3. The g5 uses fsp's active clamp which is cheaper to manufacture and worse technically speaking than the LLC used in the g3 units. With this said if you're on the fence about the g5s I would wait until there are full comprehensive reviews measuring transient response, voltage ripple ect. as there could be changes to the design to the g5 vs bequiet's implementation. However I find it hard to believe that they will beat the Super flower units as they're regarded as some of the best out there.


 

I would hold off on G5 PSU until we see 3rd party reviews. One thing i would like to see reviewers mention is where the product was sourced, was it from a retail or from the mfg.

With so small PSU Case it is hard to resist to 1KW. 

 
I know, when I was looking for the PSU for my new build (recent one ) I really only wanted/ needed an 850W  , But the prices for the 1000W were about exact same - so I got the 1000W G+   - even though it was a tad overkill .

Just make sure not to buy from EVGA.com since that promotion excludes it's own store for that promotion. 

 
While that is true it's also worth looking at the price. The EVGA website does have $20 off instantly and a $20 mail in rebate right now on the 850W making a final price of $119 plus shipping. The Amazon has it for about $160 with free shipping. Of course the review would be the best option since your getting back 25% of the $160 in EVGA bucks but the EVGA website after the rebate would still be worth considering for some since it would be less without the need for a review or rebate. With the rebate you would lose out on maybe $15 in EVGA bucks. It's good to read the promotion and look at the EVGA store and decide which is the best option since it could depend on the person as to what is best.

It's $139 out of pocket, then you get a $20 mail in rebate. Wish they would have just given me $20 in EVGA bucks instead of making me go through the hassle of a mail in rebate. 

Are you sure that EVGA will not cooperate with Super Flower any more?
What happen with Seasonic?
You can't compare FSP with them. 
Flextronics and Delta are capable to build same quality as Seasonic and Super Flower.
 
Then I recommend to everyone to supply self with EVGA 1000 T2. 
If that happen CORSAIR will be in same position as well and Seasonic power supplies will be most wanted worldwide.
They prepare Seasonic SFX 800W Titanium one insane model and Seasonic 700W Fanless Titanium.
Can you imagine 800W Titanium SFX-L. 700W Fanless is gambling, I don't want to buy Fanless PSU only to install Noctua fan on top later.
 
 
 
 

Yes this is not easy for them.
Caselabs say that marmot who lead USA now, excuse me "Putin's puppet" loved by Russian Hackers, Serbian War Criminals and prostotutes from Moldavia and Kazahstan will do something even "nicer" for American companies. I only could say that I will remember this USA administration as people who rule in period when Caselabs who is best example of American quality stop to exist. Nationalists and war criminals in my country who start 4 wars on Balkan last 30 years can't agree who is better for them Trump or his wife with Origin from our region and constantly remind everyone in US from Balkan to vote for him.  Nation lead by president loved by enemies of that nation, only America could do such things to elect man loved by nations and profiles who would like to see them dead and even to argue and debate further about some good moves ignoring facts who love and support their president. In my country among nationalists and extreme orthodox Russian allies, Trump have more support then their leaders, I mean many of their leaders are in jail in Netherland because war crimes but leaders who didn't finish in jail because hide well their crimes... simply because now they can do everything they couldn't when lucid person ruled in democractic world, treat, curse, supply with weapons from Russia, violate human rights, corruption and cleptocracy is free now.      Now sanctions for that.

It's sad to see how politic influence on life of normal people, terrible.
FPS never reach level of Seasonic, Delta, Super Flower, Flextronics, never was even close. 
 
But you need to face with reality, there is small chance to situation change even if lucid people send US Administration in mental hospital where is place for everyone who agree or support Donald Trump. He is abnormal person loved by everyone who hate American citizens. Imagine you fight in Syria with American soldiers and their administration with Russia support to Turkey attack you. They eat and fight together years...
That's worse kind of human character, that's worse then prostitution, I'm not sure that human even have proper name for such behavior... Trump is creator of that, he create situation that no one will ever believe to Americans any more, everyone will want to stab them knives in back decades after Trump, and he is not culprit, he is culprit as every abnormal person, culprit is Establishment and paralized part of nation who support him like they support video where cat jump all arround and people laugh...Hahahahaha look at him, look at him, look at his mouth and hair... hahahaha do you see what he say yesterday... hahahahaa... i must vote for him. There is 10 million Americans who think on that way...
 
If you choose spoiled, rotten billioner who would die litterary alone without money, even family would abandon him... to oppose to KGB Agent, officer who understand human soul and behavior of people hundreds times better then any police investigator because only special profile of people with special character is choosen to work in KGB...1 in 1000 change personal ideology in life... it's normal to your global position is weaker and weaker and that no one respect your word any more and that Russia is more and more powerfull worldwide. You don't need to be smart to understand that cowardish character of crucial people in State Department and American Establishement afraid that Hillary would not retreat from Putin treats and decide to choose clown to distract attention.
 
 
 

Ordered a 1000w G5 today at a pretty good price, but now I'm reading the Tom's review (sorry MSim, who advised me to read the reviews first, duh).  Should I return it and order a 1000w G3, are those still the Super Flower produced ones? Looking to upgrade from a G1+ 650w.
 
Sigh.

I'm definitely going to send the G5 back when I get it and will place an order by mid-Monday for something else.  Right now the top choices are:
 
EVGA G3 1000w
EVGA G2 1300w
EVGA T2 850w
Corsair RM1000x
Corsair HX1000
 
Have a 650w G1+ with a 2080 Ti and 9900k.  Would like to upgrade to a higher performance PSU, with an eye towards higher power gpu and CPU overclocking, potentially X299, in the next few months.

I am really liking my 850 T2...
 
Unless you plan to go for the XX90 GPU's. All the new XX60, XX70, XX80's are no longer supporting SLI. Unless you are doing work that this does not matter. There is no longer a need for two GPU's and a 1000W+ PSU.
