ESSENTIAL FEATURES
EVGA SuperNOVA G7
SYSTEM LOAD INDICATOR BARS
System load indicator LED bars display the real-time load of the power supply in 5 levels, measuring 20% load for each increment.
EVGA SuperNOVA G7
EXTREMELY HIGH EFFICIENCY
At only 130mm length, the SuperNova G7 finds enough space to pack a half-bridge LLC Resonant Controller with a DC-DC design, along with 100% Japanese Capacitors and better layout placement to reach near-Platinum efficiency and provide tight voltage regulation and extremely low ripple and noise.

Today, we review a Cougar. Probably not the kind you initially thought of. This one is bright orange/red! It’s also a power supply. Cougar is one of HEC/Compucase’s house brands for power supplies and fans, their main claim to fame as far as I can tell are the lurid paint jobs. This unit is no exception! If the performance is as good as the paint is shiny, we’re in for a good unit here. Let’s check!
From all the parts which make up a personal computer, the power supply is perhaps the most difficult to properly test and review. That is because, once installed inside a system, there is no way to control and regulate the actual load of the power supply, even if proper measuring and monitoring equipment is available. Therefore, no proper testing of a power supply can be performed at all without a fully adjustable, stable load. For basic testing, most technicians are using power resistors in order to simulate a simple and (almost) steady load. Larger companies and specialists often use Automated Testing Equipment (ATE) systems, usually from Chroma or Sunmoon, which essentially are electronic loads that can run automated test patterns.
EVGA has been selling NVIDIA GPUs for quite some time now, and they are regarded as one of the best manufacturers offering NVIDIA GPUs.
