| CES 2012: EVGA To Enter the Power Supply Market |
| Author: Gabriel Torres |
Date: January 17, 2012 - 11:01 AM PST |
| Category: Power |
| More Info: http://www.evga.com |
EVGA revealed to us during our meeting that they will enter the power supply market this year, around March or April. Initially, four wattages will be offered: 650 W, 750 W, 1,000 W, and 1,500 W. They will have models with the 80 Plus Bronze certification for the first two wattages, and models with the 80 Plus Gold certification for all wattages. The 1,500 W model will be able to deliver 1,650 W if an “overclocking mode” button is pushed, which causes the fan to spin at its maximum speed. This model will also offer switches for you to select how many +12 V rails you want. EVGA declined to comment on their OEM.

During the Computex 2011, OCZ displayed the Fatal1ty 1,000 W power supply and said that it would probably be available on the market last October, but so far this didn’t happen. Also, at the time, they said that this unit would have a “special feature” for its cables, which we could finally see: each wire has an individual nylon sleeve. See the pictures below. The OCZ Fatal1ty 1,000 W will be manufactured by High Power.
