Introducing the EVGA SuperNOVA FTW Series – The power supply designed to support up to 235% total power excursion and up to 300% GPU power excursion. It features an advanced thermal protection circuit has been added to the 12VHPWR PCIe connector on the PSU side. This circuit serves to safeguard both your power supply and graphics card. The EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W/850W Gold FTW Series gives you the peace of mind to push your system to the limits.

This is excellent. 

Unless things changed, the thermistor is only on the PSU-side.  Wires get hot eventually on both sides, and that's where the main feature comes in to play.  Otherwise, there could be limitations on what cables you could use with this feature, and leaving it on the PSU side means you can use your third party cables (although "not officially supported") without losing the feature.
 
I would say that the FTW and XC are more than just slightly different power supplies.  I think these will review well when review sites get their hands on one. 

3 year warranty, what are you doing evga?
These are DOA.

One of the other benefits of the FTW series PSU is the transformer, LLC/PFC/SR
MOSFETs and main capacitors are optimized and higher-graded than XC.

Thanks for the details, Alex. That ^ would explain the 23% increase in total power excursion rating.

i can't wait to see the reviews (especially YouTubes) that demonstrate the safety added when using an RTX4900.
 
i still haven't installed my MSI RTX 4090 Suprim Liquid X, but with a PSU like this (if the extra safety thingy pans out) i think i may, bee, finally, rdy!!! 
 

What difference does a 5, 7 or 10 year warranty make when the company won't be around that long...........

Honestly I have never really needed a 10 year warranty on a PSU since I normally have changed the PSU by then. Probably 5 years is about my replacement window for a PSU honestly.

3 year warranty gives you a good idea how long EVGA might be around for. 

Here's to hoping that if an ATX 3.0 Titanium model comes out, we'll see similar warranties as before. I'll probably skip this one for now

I'm hoping that won't be the case. I wish I knew my original forum details, but EVGA has been with me since some of my first builds as a kid, and I'd hate to see the company die; it really has been one of the only, if not the only, respectable PC-DIY vendors.
 
But I'd also be surprised if it really did go that way. The death of Nvidia GPUs does not need to be the death of EVGA; I will/would've continued to buy EVGA powersupplies, motherboards, etc. And I feel like, at the very least, surely the brand-name alone is worth enough for someone to buy it up [though that'd be worrying in and of itself].

That said, if the warranty changes are indicative of quality changes or lack of faith in their ability to continue operating N years from now, I'd prefer to see EVGA die in style and simply end things early rather than slowly degrade into yet another Asus, Gigabyte, or whatever else living on life support & draining the consumer of every penny possible.

The 3 year warranty reinforces the mindset out there that EVGA is on the verge of collapse. If it were a lower classed unit like the XC it wouldn't make many waves but a premium unit like the FTW? That's cause for instant concern when comparing past high end units (with 10yr warranties).

Even on something like the XC, it's strange to me. I have several EVGA powersupplies that have been recycled throughout our household that were far less expensive and still had 10+ year warranties; my brother's PC is still using an old EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650G, the one with the silly metal "handlebar" or whatever, that I bought for, like, ~$70ish, give or take, in 2012, and its warranty finally only expired this year.

For something in the $200+ range, though, it's somewhere between worrying for the future of the company and somewhat unacceptable; Be Quiet, Superflow, Seasonic, and FSP all offer similarly specced, likely similar quality 80+ gold-titanium PSUs in the same price bracket with 10+ year warranties. I'd still rather deal with EVGA than any of the aforementioned companies, of course, but that said, it's a bad look, IMO -- again, it gives off worrisome vibes.

I've been fortunate enough to not need any warranty on a PSU, except a DOA Corsair ages ago; luckily none of mine have ever died or taken anything out with them. But PSUs are one of those items I don't really skimp on usually, and so I've been able to re-use them across several generations or builds for friends/family; the Seasonic 1000W Platinum I bought for my X79 build in 2011 is still working well, the SuperNOVA NEX 650G from 2012 is still in use, etc.

For me, it's just the peace of mind that, even though it's an overbuilt, high-end PSU that will likely last a couple of decades as long as it isn't abused, I don't want to have to treat a perfectly fine PSU as some sort of nuclear e-waste 3-years down the line in fear that if it blows up and destroys some new system, the manufacturer will tell me to get f---ed and deal with it myself.

Have you also noticed that the evga store is not carrying anything and referring us to vendors?  Do you think this is a precursor to no more evga store?

They have officially stated this before.
That they are going to stop selling directly and do it through partners.

FunktasticLucky
what is happening with this company? Can we please get someone else to lead this company and possibly repair the broken relationships and bring back the guys?  I really hate to see such an amazing company die out over someone's arrogance :/

It's a private company. Nobody can make the owner step down or sell.

Is there anywhere I can go to get the pinout for the 1000W FTW unit?
