So worse comes to worse.. we will just need some ugly adapter to use the current psu's with the 4000 series gpus right?

One would hope. I just bought a Seasonic 1300 Platinum (building my LR Alder Lake pc in anticipation of 4000 series).
It was very tempting to buy one these EVGA psu (even to have as a backup), but I just couldn't do it, the 12 year warranty of the Seasonic won me over.

I was unaware Seasonic had 12 year warranty for some of their PSU's.
Good to know.
Seasonic has an excellent reputation for PSU quality. I have never owned one, I tried to find one last time I needed a new PSU but crypto meant nothing was in stock anywhere except for ridiculous prices.

Do you know if Seasonic builds their own? I know SuperFlower used to make EVGA's PSU, I'm not sure if they still do? Does anyone know if SuperFlower made every EVGA PSU or just certain models?

I came across this thread (it is recent too): https://forums.evga.com/Is-there-a-products-guide-of-EVGA-Power-Supply-m3532618.aspx
 
This is the kind of thing that makes it hard to choose EVGA for psu(s)...I NEED to know who the OEM is.
 
I've never owned a Seasonic either...interestingly enough. My last enthusiast power supply purchase was the Corsair  AX1200i in 2014 or 2015...turns out it was a good purchase, though it did die due to capacitor aging (I was running it no where near the max). This was in 2018 and Corsair sent me a brand new unit...no muss, no fuss.
 
I've been "lucky" enough to have 2 power supplies die, actually. the first was a PC Power & Cooling 750 watt(yes, before the OCZ buyout).
 
Anyway, I am grateful to this day for the first failure, led me to find Johnny Guru's info (I was actually able to tell them which cap failed) and taught me just how important the psu is. I agonize over power supply choices. 
 
All this said, I was forced to buy a prebuilt (I was willing to pay an honest business the extra money, but not a scalper) to get a 3080 last year and choose the EVGA 850 G5, it has served me well. but since I am getting ready for the 4000 series, I'm not going to skimp on the power supply. My first choice was actually the Asus Thor 1200 watt, but I changed my mind on the case and the new case would not display the lcd..so no point in getting that (Seasonic is the oem for those power supplies...they are modified Prime units)

Here you go: http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/PSUReviewDatabase.html  That'll square you away. Ive checked a few of them randomly and they check out with a bunch of units i own.

I missed the sale dang it. Maybe they'll have another soon.

Probably for the best cause they are most likely moving old stock out for newer batches with the new standards and compliance. Glass is half full....always!

Most of the 1300 Watt PSU's still have an Elite member discount active.  
 
EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 P+ 220-PP-1300-X1
EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G+ 220-GP-1300-X1

I was able to resist temptation, but man it was tough.

Those prices are good but not out of the ordinary.

The prices are pretty good and the free shipping is something to consider since that alone makes a nice savings vs. having to pay for it. A 1300w PSU has some weight to it and costs a fair amount to ship.

has anyone had their order "actually" shipped yet?
 
I placed order 5/6, charged, shipping notification on 5/9 (from UPS not EVGA), and it's been in "label created" status ever since. so not actually in UPS's hands yet.
 
never had EVGA hold up this much before, they usually ship next day at the latest.

I ordered mine on the same day as you and I am in Canada. I received mine on Tuesday and installed it this morning. Not sure why yours has not even shipped yet.

I ordered a 1600 T2 on 5/6, got a shipping notification email from UPS the same day, and got mine on Thursday, 5/12. If your tracking number still indicates that it hasn't been scanned by Monday, you probably should contact support. That said, I typically don't get any tracking updates between the first few scans in California and it arriving at the local hub the day before I receive it. UPS ground scans are somewhat unreliable, so it is possible it missed the origin scan, but equally possible that the warehouse missed it and it hasn't shipped yet.
