EVGA BQ 80 Plus 650W Bronze Semi Modular Power Supply

850W/750W/650W

Introduction: Premium Power

Thank you for purchasing an EVGA BQ 80 PLUS® BRONZE series power supply. The 650 BQ / 750 BQ / 850 BQ is a high quality power supply that offers great value to gamers / system builders. The modular design provides custom cable configurations for any application, and due to the ultra silent Fluid Dynamic Bearing 140mm fan, the 650 BQ / 750 BQ / 850 BQ series reduces heat during heavy load while keeping the decibel level down. Designed with stability and durability in mind, the 650 BQ / 750 BQ / 850 BQ series is the perfect choice to power your systems.

Safety Information

WARNING 1 : This unit has no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the casing presents a risk of electrocution and will void the product’s warranty. EVGA will not be responsible for any result of improper use, including but not limited to, any use of the product outside of its intended purpose or use inconsistent with the warranty terms available online. (Warranty information is available at www.evga.com/support/warranty and this manual is available at www.evga.com/manuals).

WARNING 2: NOT ALL MODULAR CABLES ARE THE SAME OR COMPATIBLE! Use of a non-officially supported cable may void your warranty, cause a Power Supply failure, and/or cause damage to connected devices. Please use ONLY officially supported cables included with the Power Supply, or an officially supported set of alternative cables listed for your specific model of Power Supply made BY EVGA. EVGA will NOT be responsible for damages caused to your power supply, devices, or non-officially supported modular cables in the event damage is caused by your use of non-officially supported modular cables.

Features

STABLE POWER

The 650 BQ / 750 BQ / 850 BQ 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 650 BQ / 750 BQ / 850 BQ also provides up to 85% (115V~) / 88% (230V~) efficiency and is 80 PLUS® BRONZE certified.

TOP QUALITY PROTECTIONS

The 650 BQ / 750 BQ / 850 BQ 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), and Over Temperature Protection (OTP) . This product is also covered by a 5-year warranty and EVGA’s legendary customer service and support.

MODULAR DESIGN

Reduce clutter in the case, improve ambient temperatures with better airflow overall and provide a clean look to any system. Modular PSU designs allow the user to disconnect the cables 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.

Installation

Remove the power supply from its packaging.
(Optional) Using the provided PSU testing tool, connect the 24-Pin cable to the PSU, then attach the testing tool to the 24-Pin cable. Connect the ATX power cable to the PSU and plug the PWR cable into the outlet or surge protector/UPS you plan to use. Once connected, turn the power switch to the ON position.
Please note : If you are using a water cooling configuration, this testing tool provides a simple, safe, option for bleeding/ draining/ testing water cooling components without the need of a paperclip or other device.
Use the screws provided with your case to install the power supply into your computer.
NOTE : It is recommended to install the power supply with the fan facing down. However, if your case places the power supply at the bottom of the case and there are no ventilation holes available, it may be best to install the power supply with the fan facing up for greater efficiency and reliability.
Connect the 20+4-Pin ATX cable to the PSU and the motherboard.
Connect the 4+4-Pin EPS12V cable to the motherboard. (Optional) If you plan on extreme overclocking and your motherboard supports additional 8-Pin or 4-Pin CPU power connectors,connect the second 4+4-Pin EPS12V cable. This is only needed for heavy overclocking or for Dual CPU motherboards.
Connect the 6/6+2-Pin PCI-E cables to your graphics card(s).
NOTE 1 : Do not attempt to plug an 8-Pin PCI-E cable into a 6-Pin connector without first detaching the two extra pins. NOTE 2 : We recommend to use a single PCI-E cable to connect per port on graphic cards if your video card requires high power such as equipped with more than 2 PCI-E connectors 6pin + 8pin and 8pin + 8pin.
Connect SATA power cables to all data drives or optical drives (hard drives, solid state drives, optical drives).
Connect the peripheral “Molex” 4-Pin connectors for fans, pumps, legacy components and other devices/adapters.
Connect the AC power cord to your power supply and to the wall. Check all connections to assure a solid connection and turn the power switch on the power supply to the ON position.

Q & A

Q : I see there are more than four screw holes on the back of the power supply, but the packaging only offers (4) screws, are some missing?
A : Nothing is missing; you will only need to attach the EVGA power supply to the case with four screws. The power supply offers more than (4) holes to provide optimal compatibility for today’s varied case designs.

Q : My EVGA Power Supply includes (2) EPS cables for my motherboard, do I need to connect up both?
A : Motherboards only require (1) 4+4 or 8-Pin EPS connection. On some models, an additional 4+4-Pin or 8-Pin connection on the motherboard may be found for dual CPU configurations or for extreme overclocking. If your motherboard supports dual 4+4-Pin EPS connections, please refer to your motherboard manufacturer’s manual for details on the proper function and power of the EPS connections.

Q : What if I want to use power adapters for graphicscard my(s)/mother board/ peripherals?
A : EVGA always recommends the use of direct power connections from the power supply to power all components.

Q : Does it matter which end of the cable I plug into the power supply?
A : Yes, the connections going to the power supply will not have “break downs” like the EPS (CPU) has 4+4 on one side and full 8-Pin on the other. Check each cable as it is labeled appropriately to match the power supply side, and connect only the same “matching” cable directly to the power supply as referenced on each connector.

Q : If I have an issue or a question, can I get support?
A : ALL EVGA products are backed by top tier warranties as well as technical support. Support can be reached for your power supply at :

USA : +1-888-881-3842 option 1, option 3.or contact us via email at support@evga.com.
