Q&A
Q: I see there are more than four screw holes on the back of the power supply, but the packaging only offers (4)
screws, are some missing?
A: Nothing is missing; you will only need to attach the EVGA power supply to the case with four screws. The
power supply offers more than (4) holes to provide optimal compatibility for today’s varied case designs.
Q: My EVGA Power Supply includes (2) EPS cables for my motherboard, do I need to connect up both?
A: Motherboards only require (1) 4+4 or 8-Pin EPS connection. On some models, an additional 4+4-Pin or 8-Pin
connection on the motherboard may be found for dual CPU configurations or for extreme overclocking. If your
motherboard supports dual 4+4-Pin EPS connections, please refer to your motherboard manufacturer's manual
for details on the proper function and power of the EPS connections.
Q. What is the ECO Thermal Control System?
A. The ECO Thermal Control System, when enabled, allows the fan on your EVGA power supply to shut off
during low to moderate operation loads. The EVGA power supply’s fan will automatically turn back on when
needed, based on the temperature the power supply reaches. The fan will also increase in RPM when needed,
based on the load operation being requested from the components connected. This prevents unnecessary
rotation, reduces ambient noise levels and will increase the life span of the fan due to the fan not spinning
when not required.
Please Note: If the ECO Thermal Control is disabled the fan will always spin, even at low loads. The fan will also
increase in RPM as needed automatically, based on the power draw from connected components.
Q. What if I want to use power adapters for my graphics card(s)/motherboard/peripherals?
A.
EVGA always recommends the use of direct power connections from the power supply to power all components.
Q. Does it matter which end of the cable I plug into the power supply?
A: Yes, the connections going to the power supply will not have “break downs” like the EPS (CPU) has 4+4 on one
side and full 8-Pin on the other. Check each cable as it is labeled appropriately to match the power supply side,
and connect only the same ‘‘matching” cable directly to the power supply as referenced on each connector.
Q. If I have an issue or a question, can I get support?
A.
ALL EVGA products are backed by top tier warranties as well as 24/7 technical support. Support can be reached
