Critics' Consensus

“The EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5 delivers solid build quality, compact dimensions, and reliable performance under load, but suffers from excessive noise and poor light-load efficiency. These drawbacks make it less competitive than the older G3 model for users prioritizing quiet operation or energy savings.”
