For the life of me I can't get this AC cable to stay seated in the PSU. No matter how gently I move about my apartment, this connection always ends up disconnected and on the floor. I don't see any place where a bailing wire type bracket could attach to hold it in. I don't want to 'twist' the prongs inside the PSU to cause tension on the plug and doing so would make me nervous about voiding my warranty. How about wrapping a few turns of electrical tape on the outside edge of this plug? This thing is driving me crazy. On top of that, I have never seen a pin configuration like this in my entire life. My honest preference would be to take a plug style similar to my other SuperNOVA G2 Power Supplies and replacing this monstrosity but that would void my warranty for sure. Suggestions? I think the electrical tape wrapped around the plug is the best unless EVGA manufactures a 1600 G2 PSU with the 'normal' plug and input config.

It only seems that way. I have one along with the older 1500 Classified PSU.
Push it in and your fine, it only seems like it is not plugged in all the way.

This cable from the wall to the PSU is so thick and twisted, it might be acting like a coiled up spring helping to pull the socket out of the PSU. I'll try to soften it up by letting it sit in the sunlight for a while. The inside of this case is a mess right now and it isn't in its final location. Maybe I can run that cable underneath the Stryker case to hold it still?

I got it a lot straighter. Where it goes into the PSU it has a maybe 3' diameter half circle so I got rid of most of the tension from that end. The wall end doubles back on itself making the cable look like a tight 'S' shape. My back is shot for the day so I'll play some more tomorrow or just buy a replacement from NewEgg that isn't so darn stiff. I've seen arc welding cables that were more flexible than this thing.

Zuhl3156,
 
I had a similar issue with one of my power supplies. I simply wrapped electrical tape around the AC female connector until it fit snug.

Is the AC in supposed to be loose on the 1600w G2? It can literally fall out if you don't manage the crazy thick power cable. It seems to be working fine, it just seems odd that such a nice PSU has such a weird issue. Anyone else have this PSU and notice this?

Just came across this, seems I'm not the only one:

Yeah i guess I’ll take it back to Microcenter. Thanks.

You're still welcome to contact EVGA tech support if you wish about this.

I just picked one up from Amazon and I see a similar issue with the back power connector of the PSU is very loose when the cable is put in.
 
I ordered a new one and am returning this one. I hope that this is not by design ?

 
Mine is snug.

For safety the connection should never be loose or wobbly. The female connection going to the power plug should be still and firm.

I have the 1600w and all my cables are fine.

Their is only One AC Cable on a Power Supply.

Check out this post:
 
AC adapter not snug on 1600w G2

Someone else is having same issue.

It not really an issue.
Go to Home Deport and test them, 20 out of 20 connected the same way the EVGA Connector Feels.
They only had 20 Female Connecters to Test with.

This is not a Standard Power Cable and will not Feel the same as this cable below.
 
It may Feel Loose But it really is not.

Mine is snug.

 shows you have a 1300 G2
 

 
I haven't updated it yet to the 1600 that I now have.

So i finally did receive a new 1600 and the new one is snug and fits great.
 
Looks like I got a bad unit i guess. Pretty unlucky as this is the first EVGA product i bought and I had to use my spidey senses on this one that something wasn't right.
 
Glad i did :)

I'm glad this is resolved for you. Happy gaming!
