EVGA 1000 GQ 1000W 80 Plus Gold Semi-Modular Power Supply

EVGA 1000 GQ 1000W 80 Plus Gold Semi-Modular Power Supply

Uncompromising 80 Plus Gold Efficiency: When you are dealing with 1000 Watts of power, efficiency is critical. The EVGA 1000 GQ is strictly 80 Plus Gold certified, meaning it operates at 90% or higher efficiency under typical system loads. This high tier of efficiency ensures that your power supply converts more electricity into usable power and wastes less as heat. This results in noticeably lower electricity bills, a cooler-running computer, and a longer lifespan for the internal components.

Practical Semi-Modular Design: Cable management does not have to be a nightmare or overly expensive. This power supply utilizes a semi-modular design. The main 24-pin motherboard cable-which every single desktop computer must use anyway-is permanently attached to the unit. All of the other cables, including those for your graphics card, storage drives, and CPU, are completely modular. You only plug in exactly what your specific build requires, keeping your computer case free of unnecessary clutter and drastically improving internal airflow.

Whisper-Quiet ECO Mode Cooling: High wattage does not mean a noisy system. The EVGA 1000 GQ is equipped with a premium 135-millimeter Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan designed for extreme reliability and low noise output. It features EVGA’s signature ECO mode, controlled by a physical switch on the unit. When engaged, the fan will completely stop spinning during low to medium workloads like browsing the web or watching videos, ensuring an absolutely silent desktop environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a semi-modular power supply worse than a fully modular one? Not at all. The only difference is that the primary 24-pin motherboard cable is permanently attached. Because 100% of standard desktop computers require this cable to function, having it permanently attached does not create any extra clutter. You still get all the cable-management benefits of being able to detach your unused PCIe and SATA cables.

Will this power supply fit inside my computer case? The EVGA 1000 GQ is a high-capacity unit, and it is slightly longer than standard budget power supplies, measuring 180 millimeters in length. You will need to check the specifications of your specific computer case to ensure it has enough physical clearance in the bottom power supply shroud to accommodate a 180-millimeter unit along with the attached cables.

Do I have to use the ECO mode? No. The ECO mode is entirely optional and is controlled by a physical switch on the back of the power supply. If you prefer to have the fan running constantly to ensure maximum airflow at all times, you can simply turn the switch off, and the fan will operate normally based on internal temperatures.
