hey what's crack-a-lackin' guys JS two cents here yeah I just said crack-a-lackin' no idea why I said that so I sincerely apologize for that we're going to take a look at a little bit of a combo pack here today from EVGA we are going to take a look at the EVGA supernova 1000 G - I think they call it G for gangsta because it's pretty gangsta if you know what I mean gangsta gangsta is that even a gang sign somebody tell me it might maybe I just said hello and Mandarin sign language I have no idea so yeah we are going to be taking a look at this 1,000 g2 supernova here from EVGA and a little mystery package that goes along with this that we'll take a look at once I kind of get past this bad boy this sexy beast right here okay guys let's be honest this is a power supply there's not a whole lot you can say about it I mean you can talk about the cable quality you can talk about the efficiency this is gold rated so that means it's pretty efficient and you know build quality 12 volt rails things like that really boring stuff so you know taking a look inside here I don't know really how much there is to say now the packaging obviously I think is pretty damn nice I mean it's a look at this they've got this cable pouch here here's your cables I'll just take out a few of them there's actually a lot now I actually have a gripe about this power supply and that is being that all of the accessory powers are red now I know EVGA really likes red I know that their motherboards tend to have a lot of red in them but you know what if you were doing a blue build what is what if these cables just aren't what you're after I mean there's sleeve nice look at that they're not individually sleeve but they've got nice leaving on there they're nice and heavy-duty it's dense the 24-pin are all black cables underneath there the red cables are all red cables under there so you don't have a rainbow plethora of colors going on which you guys know I really really hate in fact that's probably one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to power supplies is the fact that so many companies use non dents are very thin thinly dents leaving that allows you to see the all the ugly colors through there but not be is there densely sleep but I do have a serious issue with them being red but there is a remedy for that and we'll talk about that in a minute now inside here you get your power supply and a nice little pouch and it's got some pretty nice texture to it I mean this is a sexy power supply it really is the fan on here it's PWM controlled so it's it's going to ramp up and slow down most of the time you not even gonna be able to hear it because unless it's under an intense load something we're going to turn on thanks to the 80 plus gold rating on there but this is a very nice-looking unit I really really like this a lot it it just it looks nice if it's going to be displayed in your system somewhere you know it would be worth looking at except for those damn cables now I really do like EVGA I mean cables aside if you were doing a red build by all means the cables on this look amazing if they were all black they would fit everybody's needs in my opinion but you know for whatever reason they chose to go with the red but if that red doesn't suit you and you like the power supply there is an option out there and that other thing we're taking a look at today is their custom power supply cable sets now this I really like to see because you guys know I used Lucho customs for my custom cables on my rig redness is getting them but they carry a hell of a price tag you guys know when you want the best the best comes with the price tag and loot row custom stuff just like the case labs it's not for the faint of heart but you know you're getting the best when you buy it so what if you want that custom look without breaking your bank well you go with a power supply like this it has a custom cable set now what I really love about the EVGA cable set over the Corsair cable set is they include everything the 24 pin the SATA cables the molex cables the eight pin EPS power cable the PCI Express cables they're all in here they're the exact cable replacement for their modular psus any modular cable that's on your psu gets a fully single sleeved or individually sleeved cable for it and this is only $89 at the time of filming a cable set for 89 bucks it includes the 24 pin and all of that the thing I really don't like about Corsairs is it out 79 bucks or so but then it's another $20 for the 24 pin and if you need more PCI Express it's all extra charges and it can get up to a couple hundred bucks by the time you're done depending on how many cables you need so they throw everything together in a kit here without breaking the bank now to add another $90 on top of your power supply does add to the cost but this is for the person wanting that custom look and they come in all kinds of colors red black blue I think they might have green I'm not sure but go and check out their website you can see what all the colors are that are available but here they are right here I mean look at that all the cables are right here now the first thing we're gonna take a look at is the 24th of the point we are going to go ahead and take a look at the 24 pin here we go how does open packaged there we go now nice quality sleeving here is your CPU power here is another 8 pin CPU power so guys - 8 pin CPU powers not just one like Corsair - because they know some motherboards require auxilary a pin and more power than just the one plug depending on what you're doing and here is your 24 pin cable right here now you might be able to tell already maybe you can't this is heat-shrink list tubing I love heat-shrink list tubing because it looks so much more clean now the length on here I think could stand to be a little bit longer but that's just me I mean this isn't gonna this might not reach something like in a case labs case but in your standard you know full tower mid Tower this is going to be plenty long but look at the sleeving quality of this there it's really tight sleeving you just really couldn't ask for anything better that's going to plug in directly to your power supply and have absolutely no compatibility issues I mean allow me to demonstrate that right now here's the side that says power supply you go over to ash that says motherboard huh we should we learn to read I promise plug in power supply plug it into the power supply and there it is red sleeved cable for your OEM power supply you didn't void the warranties you'd have to take the time doing it yourself for $90 now guys this is something I highly recommend for the do-it-yourselfer who doesn't have a lot of time and you're willing to shell out 90 bucks for some cables that are heat shrink lists just look perfectly well done I mean there I have no complaints all the cables leaving is tight on here there's no bulging they're all perfectly straight for all the exact same length and they got a zip tie in there right there but you're going to be able to do some custom looking cables inside your system and absolutely you know really killer rate I'll take a look some of the other cables you get here yeah you get a SATA with three SATA on there another Saito three SATA another SATA 3 Satyam another SATA with three SATA 3 molex plugs on there and two more mullets plugs and a floppy drive the floppy drive kind of makes me laugh quite honestly care why we got floppy drives stuff okay whatever and this is obviously going to be our PCI Express stuff so how many PCI Express cables do you get well here is a 6 pin 8 pin here is a 6 pin 8 pin here is at six p okay here is another 6 pin 8 pin another 6 pin a pin and another 16 a pin so that's one so there's one graphics card there's two graphics cards and there's three graphics cards so they actually give you enough cables to do a 3-way SLI or crossfire again 90 bucks you get all of these cables look at this look at how many cables you get for $90 that is freaking awesome I'm sorry I'm just gonna say right now I love this alright so the test rig is together behind me now as you can see and we use EVGA supernova 1000 G to massively overkill power supply for this test bench but you know it's going to get the job done and I can expand the system in the future if I need to now obviously we threw in the cable kit from EVGA here it is right here now as with most things in life there there's no such thing as perfection and I'm going to go ahead and tell you a list of pros and cons that I have about these cables so hear me out completely before you come to any sort of conclusion about these now as I mentioned earlier in the video they give you a ton of cables I mean look these are all the cables I have left and that's a complete system back there with two hard drives a graphics card water cooler fans I mean look at all this that's a lot left so it can be a little bit wasteful in the sense that there's a lot of material here that's now just going to sit in a box and you know that's kind of a downside and the downside to that is since these are complete assembled kits you can't really pick and choose the cables that you need or want so I mean it would have been nice if maybe EVGA offered individual you know maybe you could buy a cable you need for 10 bucks or something like that I mean if they can put this whole kit together for 90 bucks they could afford to sell you know VGA cables for 10 bucks sort of thing to just get the cables that you need rather than having all this wastes just sitting here now the sleeping on here is fantastic it's a little bit stiff in my opinion it does I mean it bends like nicely like that but the thing is the cable still kind of wants to twist on you as you are routing it in your case if you try to come out of your case and you try and go up and then you have to kind of make a a right bend it they tend to twist a little bit on you now that's not really the fault of the so much the sleeving and stuff as it is the cable I mean the cables themselves are made up of really tiny finally strands of copper that are twisted together too so obviously there's gonna be some natural twists in there for that yeah so I made routing the cables some a little bit interesting but it didn't create any problems for me I was they look at the back panel on without having to you know shove it or kick it with my foot and we've all been there right we've all had such cable clutter in the back of our system sometimes if you've got a like edge it shut like you're trying to get that suitcase closed for your trip and you're sitting on it and you're pulling the zipper yeah I don't have to do any of that so that wasn't a problem but when it comes to the the plugs you know I think a lot of the beauty of these plugs is really negated by the fact that you have the real ugly you know VGA printed on there and VGA printed there and some of the other ones say EVGA on one side and so you take these gorgeous plugs and then you look in the system you just see this stamped you know screen printed lettering everywhere and that's kind of a downside of my opinion I mean a piece probably if they you know had better proprietary plugs on here and they could only go in the place they're designed to go in then that would alleviate them needing to print this out because you couldn't put it anywhere else but then you're talking extra costs and designed a proprietary plugs and it's probably not worth it for them it's not a market that they're they're looking at you know becoming the most expensive on the market which could inevitably happen so the cable kit is a great kit it really is allows you to add some color to your system get you some you know custom looks in there without breaking the bank I love everything about this I just wish that the cables didn't have that screen printing on there and they could route a little bit better maybe if they had gone with more of like a paracord type of sleeving than a hard plastics leaving that would have been a little bit more preferred on my end so overall guys these custom cables here from EVGA for their EVGA line of power supplies go check out their website you can see which power supplies are supported and you know go check out the colors that are up there and if you think there's any cool unique color combos they should put down below like I said earlier maybe alternate some red and some white or some black and white or black and red so you can get even a little bit more color in there I think that would be kind of unique so really good option by EVGA really well-priced and bang for the buck again if you're looking at doing something cable or management or some custom cables in your system but you can't afford super high-end sleeve cables like wietrow customs which are very pricey this is certainly an option that you should consider so guys been Jase two sets following Twitter if you'd like to chat with me about this video or any other tech stuff or you just want to tell me how much you hate my videos or maybe you want to send me a funny joke or or I don't know what else kids do these days on Twitter's maybe you want to make it send me a funny meme that'd be kind of cool head on up to Twitter and as always guys I will see you in my next video
