EVGA Launches SuperNOVA 1000W and 850W Gold ATX 3.0 FTW Series PSUs

I'm not gonna buy a 1000w psu with less than 2x12VHPWR native connectors. Even if i'm not using them.

I mailed Seasonic about that recently as i found out their 2x 8-pin to 12VHPWR cable also uses the dimple style terminals. They said there is currently no reason to go with with 4-spring as 3 dimple makes more than enough contact for the wattage required.

Exactly.

Nvidia's AVL has four different suppliers. None of them are the Wieson "4-spring". That's not to say Wieson is not a legitimate supplier. They're just not in the Nvidia AVL. In addition to the four in the AVL and Wieson, there are three other suppliers I can think of that are frequently used. Nvidia's AIB's use Astron because Astron has almost always been Nvidia's supplier for DP, HDMI, DVI, etc. connectors and Astron was also able to provide a complete adapter solution to Nvidia's spec (with the AND gate IC to determine how many 8-pins are plugged in). The Astron adapters are soft-bundled by Nvidia with the GPUs.

The assets used in the ATX 3.0 rev 2.01 document were provided by Wieson. No testing was done by Intel. Wieson simply provided a pitch document to Intel and they said, "yep! Looks good! And put it as "recommended" in their spec.

The "4-spring" requires more force to insert and remove, yet does not provide any improvement in clamping force or resistance until AFTER THIRTY CYCLES. At this point, the 4-spring provided a .03Kgf clamping force improvement over dimples. THIS was the data provided in their document.

The document is also rife with errors. Showing some terminals having an increase in clamping force at 30 cycles versus 1 cycle. Thermal measurements of terminals that were LOWER than ambient, etc.

The whole thing is a joke and Igor and Intel took the bait hook, line and sinker.

I'm not gonna buy a 1000w psu with less than 2x12VHPWR native connectors. Even if i'm not using them.

So what you're saying is you're not buying a 1000W PSU with the new connectors.

It took quite some time but we now have a 750w psu with dual 12v-2x6 connectors.

Cool, that leaves a comfortable -150W for everything else in the system!

NGL, My initial exposure to 1stplayer was abysmal - proper dropshiping zero-quality garbage that comes from Wish.com or ends up on Amazon with a brand name that resembles the output of an 8-character password generator.

JASTOOAM?
XIMRMUTL?
VORBARXY?

I basically assume that these companies have no quality control to speak of, no real physical presence anywhere, and will use the cheapest parts from the lowest bidders, all whilst pulling specs, certifications, and other details straight out of their ass because their MO is marketing ignorance at best and intentional deception to shift product in the unregulated marketplaces of AliExpress, Wish, eBay and AmazonMarketplace at worst.

Even the rtx 4070 super features this connector and it only draws 220w. If you do gpu based rendering (octanerender, redshift, vray) using dual rtx 4070s, you still need a PSU with two 12v-2x6 connectors while having 300w for the rest of the system.

I'm not commenting of this, i don't really care about this product in particular: i just value their choice and i hope other brands do the same.
One 12v-2x6/12vhpwr connector on high wattage PSU is a shame.

The problem is that 12VHPWR is supposed to deliver 450W, so you need 900W to those two connectors to meet spec. Realistically, dual 12VHPWR is a 1200W PSU feature.

The blame here is on Nvidia enforcing 450W Minimum-spec connectors for GPUs pulling 160W. That's where the dumb is.
