Thank you for purchasing the EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 P2 power supply. This power supply features 1600 watts of
continuous power delivery with 92% (115V) / 94% (220VAC~240VAC) efficiency and exceptionally clean voltage
output. What does that mean? The best stability, reliability, overclockability, and unparalleled control. The
SuperNOVA 1600 P2 is the ultimate tool for powering today's and tomorrow's biggest and toughest systems.
STABLE POWER
The SuperNOVA PLATINUM series has outstanding electrical performance with ultra stable voltage and
extremely clean power output. This can help you achieve the highest possible overclock (optional) and provide
the most stable and reliable power to all components. The SuperNOVA PLATINUM series also has high efficiency
greater than 92% (115V) / 94% (220VAC~240VAC) and is 80 PLUS PLATINUM certified.
DUAL THERMAL CONTROL SYSTEM
The EVGA ECO Intelligent Thermal Control System provides silent operation at low loads, improved efficiency and
longer life span of the fan. Enabled by a simple switch directly on the power supply, the “No Fan Spin” feature is
ideal for users looking to reduce ambient noise overall. Save on energy costs and unnecessary fan usage with the
EVGA ECO Thermal Control System.
TOP QUALITY PROTECTIONS
The SuperNOVA PLATINUM series comes equipped with the most comprehensive protection set possible, including
Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), Over Power Protection (OPP), Short Circuit
Protection (SCP), Over Current Protection (OCP), Over Temperature Protection (OTP). This product is also covered
by an exceptional 10-year warranty and EVGA’s legendary customer service and support.
SUPERIOR BUILD QUALITY
The SuperNOVA PLATINUM series is built to the highest standards, using 100% Japanese capacitors rated at
105 degrees Celsius and high quality brand-name semiconductor components for the highest performance and
reliability. The Ultra Quiet 140mm double ball bearing fan provides adequate cooling to allow near silent operation
when not needed and proper cooling during heavy load operation.
MODULAR DESIGN
Reduce clutter in the case, improve ambient temperatures with better airflow overall and provide a clean look to
any system. Fully Modular PSU designs allow the user to disconnect the cable from the power supply side if they
are not needed for the specific configuration. This can help free up space inside the case and improve cable
management as well as airflow throughout the system. EVGA offers fully modular designs on all P2 series and
include a cable storage bag in case you plan to upgrade or add more components for storage.
